It is no surprise the likes of Ola Aina and Milenkovic who were average in Italy have dominated English football, easily.

Atalanta’s record vs English opponents:
3 wins
3 losses
2 draws.

Football. F word-ing Hades!


Football is never this linear.
Hence form is temporary, but talent is permanent.

But ultimately, football is an emotion. Get the emotional balance right, and the talent, which is permanent, shines through..

I even forgot to mention this guy! Who was a total failure at Juve an then loaned to Roma, where he struggled and was benched. Roma refused to buy him and sent him back to Juve. He was sold to the English League and he is easily top 4 defenders in English Football! He has dominated the league EASILY! Quite embarassing... A 19 year old child who struggled just 8 months ago in Italy. Look at him now! Destroying England!


This is a testament to what players who have played in both leagues - like Tuanzebe - say. One league is tactically tough, where you have to prepare in different stages, while the other league is more kick and rush and players come to league games just to have a good time!

He is even mocking the country, saying he is doing it so easy, without any energy - CHILL GUY! :oops:

This reminds me of the story of Benoit Assou-Ekotto who openly stated that he didnt mentally prepare for games. In fact, many times, he didnt even know who they were playing and he will just turn up and played like he was doing "choosing." As evident from the comment by Tuanzebe, you cant do that in a tactically superior league like Italy. In English football, you can do it and even thrive!

Look at Assou-Ekotto? One of the best performing left-backs in the history of English Football, and the chap was playing choosing. Yet, he dominated the league there. :oops:

Again, football is never this linear. While I have always stated that wrt football content, the PL is probably 3rd or 4th in Europe, you cannot assess the league by merely giving random player examples.
Afterall Anguissa is similarly "dominating" central MF in Italy, having been an also ran in the PL...

It is always good to listen to the players. People who have been there and played the game at the highest level. This helps a lot because these guys are at the front lines and know what they are talking about.

Tuanzebe made those comments because he lived through it. And he was right! Look at Ben Godfrey who was humiliated in Italy, as well. Couldnt hack it and had to run back to the weaker English Football, where he went straight into the first 11, easily.

It is very tough in Bergamo.

Liverpool seems OUT of their depth in the CL. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

kpa kpa kpa... after using Liverpool to play center ball last week, PSG players told you that they will come to your house and take it away from you. Do you know why? They KNOW they are better than you. And they KNOW who is boss.

Take it easy. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Some of us know football easily. For others, it takes them a while to see what we have seen. :D

Same thing I said when I told you guys that Darwin Nunez is a terrible striker and you guys were jumping about, weeping! Today, your entire fanbase has accepted what I knew years ago.

I also told you that your league is very low level. Now, your heroes and legends like Cundy, Tuanzebe and the rest, are coming out to say it.

Another one who failed spectacularly in France, came to England and is destroying English Football. Like your hero, Jason Cundy said, the level of [your] league is very low. :(

Is that a whole Conor Gallagher leading the charges for Atletico Madrid? Chelsea cast off. Stranger than fiction.

another player is very clear. Do we listen to the players who have played in both leagues? or do we listen to pot bellied Nigerian men in their 50s, who have never kicked a ball in their lives? :lol: :lol:
