1. Pace, Physicality and Style
Every single Premier League club has their own unique playing style that is suited to them. Whether that be Tottenham holding possession and getting nowhere, a Sunderland tactic of hit and hope, or even a West Ham style of passing to Payet and allowing him to do the rest, each club is different.
What is noticeable about the Premier League compared to other leagues, however, is the physicality of the league (although that is being cut down on by some referees). English football is known for the aggression, the hard hitting tackles and the fights. They’re some of the reasons people enjoy the league so much. Let’s be honest, there is nothing better than seeing your club’s centre half absolutely smash the opposition’s striker who’s been diving and complaining the whole game and only picking up a yellow card.
Finally, something that has been praised about the Premier League – as well as being a point difficulty for some players – is the pace. Many clubs have signed players that have been fantastic in their own league, perhaps scoring 25+ goals every season – but that league is nothing compared to the Premier League.
Here, the centre backs are hounding your every move, they are comfortable with the ball at their feet in their own box, midfielders are constantly applying pressure, attempting to get in to gaps to exploit flaws in a team’s set up, and there is always a striker waiting for any loose passes or mistakes from the goalkeeper or defenders, consistently chasing down every ball, to try and get their name on the score-sheet. You’ve got to be ready at all times to be able to cope with the pace of Premier League football – after all, it is the best league in the world.
