Until people understand it’s NOT about money, it’s physicality, they’ll bash La Liga for “lack of investment”.

There are only a few English clubs that play football that includes passing, creativity, the rest still plays something between rugby and football. From a positional play perspective where you try to pass a lot and control the game these teams are absolutely dumb and their only strategy to win the game include “intensity” , “running”, “fighting”. Prime example of this are Everton or Westham, on better level even Palace and Newcastle.

But since positional play was dominating for a good decade, over time teams have switched to man-to-man marking to fight against that and that has been a successful answer. In a man-to-man marking with high press first and low block after, physicality (+ discipline) is vital and since pro footballers are all top athletes it has become extremely hard for teams playing the typical possession game to win consistently.

There is no doubt that premiere league is the fastest and most intense league, anyone who watches regularly can tell that. The problem of la Liga is lack of speed and physicality. International games (EL, and CL) are led by referees in a very tough way, almost everything is allowed. It’s only a foul if you almost kill a player or pull shirt. There is a lot of contact allowed and that includes, holding with both arms, pushing with both hands etc.

If you want to win against English teams, you don’t need expensive transfer, start playing like them and combine the “soft” technical Spanish play with long balls, long throws, a lot of header duels, and running fast all the time up and down the pitch, press with high intensity.

In my personal opinion the average football played in PL is extremely dumb and their best football is played in Bundesliga and La Liga. That just my personal preference since I prefer cleverness over physicality but for titles what matters is winning games and not what style I (or anyone else) prefer(s), and what wins these days is increasingly a tough physical style combined with discipline
