The_Beauty_of_a_Sport

Association football, which is generally known as football or soccer, is one of the most popular sports in the world, which spread rapidly from Europe postwar ages. Despite of the fact that it is played almost every country all over the world, the prestigious leagues still concentrate in Europe. Recently, Germany Bundesliga has emerged dramatically like several decades ago and the Serie A, Italian football prior league, has been highly competitive. Moreover, the Premier League and the La Liga, England and Spanish top leagues, respectively, have particularly been evaluated marvelousness due to their recent achievement of UEFA Champions’ League that is the highest competition in the world at clubs’ level. This essay will focus on the latter two, indicating their similarities and differences with the latest data so as to consider the future power struggle of football world. The first topic shown is the mighty level of football teams. Judging from the latest consequence of CL, it follows that significant number of teams of both leagues correspond to the greatest club. According to the result of 2010-2011 season’s CL, three England clubs and two Spanish clubs constituted the quarterfinal, following that one of the formers and the latters survived in the last four. Finally, the Final in the Wembley consists of England against Spanish, Manchester United versus F.C. Barcelona. However, considering the average power of these two leagues, there is a wide difference between them. In England, it is considerably possible that weaker groups defeat big clubs whereas in Spain, it almost certainly do not happen since there exist too many disparities of strength. Furthermore, the Premier League seems to be absolutely complicated compared to what it used to be, for the winner can presently be assumed six or seven teams. On the contrary, only two teams, F.C. Barcelona and Real Madrid C.F, are definable as the winning team of the La Liga. Another discussion remarked is the financial issues. The amount of money surrounding the football world has been increasing, accelerating the financial gap between big clubs and other clubs. It causes the unfair circumstance for poorer teams since advantageous ones seize their good players by millions of Euro. Both England and Spain have been involved in this situation with affecting not only their belonging leagues but also other European football leagues. For instance, Real Madrid spent over €400 million to capture players from other countries during 2009 summer, also Manchester City can afford to use infinitive money to reach higher ranking. Although their usages of money are similar, the players’ tax levied on annual income in Spain is dissimilar to that in England. The Spanish government imposes far less amount of income tax on the players belonging to the La Liga in comparison to the British government, which encourages them to move to Spain so that they can save their money. Play styles are essential for spectators as well as determination of strategies. Players in Spain show aggressive play styles, which is the same case as England. Nevertheless, approaching to their details, significant disparity associated with teamwork is concerned. The characteristic of the Spanish league is described as technical football, in other words, passing and individual skills are vital of the strategies. Unlike the Spanish league, team plays and physical factors are prior to individual techniques. Consequently, the judges establish different standard for their judging; fouls in the former frequently occur compared with English cases. Both the Premier League and La liga have established great success in the football world whilst there are several similarities and differences of the attitudes to football. Both of them include some distinguished clubs, which have been extraordinary successful in Europe while, generally England teams are mightier than Spanish on average. Nonetheless, it is remarkable that Spain has an advantage when it comes to monetary issues. Techniques make differences of strategies on the pitch as physics do. In short, although their performances are dissimilar, it is obvious that these leagues are two of the strongest in the world. In addition, apparently they are unlikely to deteriorate, hence, from this today’s situation it follows that they will probably be in the same level even in the future.
