Steven N'Zonzi explains the difference b/w "our" league and La Liga.
The rest of the story: https://www.theguardian.com/football/20 ... -leicester“I improved tactically in Spain. In England you are asked to go with the game and stop the opposition playing. Tactically it was not really high demand. I had to be strong physically, run a lot. In Spain in they ask you to stay in position: ‘When you don’t have the ball, go there, be here.’ But England helped me. It’s about experience, learning. I was lucky to play under different managers with different styles.
“In England I improved physically as well. I’m not N’Golo Kanté. I’m not a top player. I don’t have that pace but I did improve because the pace was really intense.” How? You can’t just become quick. N’Zonzi points to his head. “It’s in your mind,” he replies. “You think quicker, make decisions quicker. You can also work in the gym so you have a little bit more muscle: you are not going to be fast, you can’t change your physical possibilities but you can improve a little.”
