Anthony Gordon has compared football in Spain to the Premier League, arguing that the Spanish game demands a different level of tactical and technical intelligence.

🗣️ “I loved playing in the Premier League and it played a huge part in my development.”

“But Spanish football demands a different level of tactical and technical intelligence.”

“In England, the intensity can sometimes mask a mistake. You can miss control the ball and still make up for it by winning the next physical battle. Here, a poor first touch or a lapse in concentration regarding your positioning can be punished immediately.”

“Some Premier League teams would struggle to play this style consistently because they might not have the patience or the quality in midfield that is required.”

“I won't deny that the Premier League is incredibly intense. The pace is relentless, there are physical battles everywhere, long throw-ins, corner kicks and plenty of contact. That's why many English players believe it's the best league in the world. They're used to that sort of chaos. Football in Spain is different.”

Two brothers made a country care about football for the first time.

James and Phil Younghusband, half-English and half-Filipino, moved to the Philippines in the mid-2000s to play for the Azkals, back when Philippine football had almost no domestic following. Their popularity as personalities is widely credited with making Filipinos care about the sport itself, fans followed them first, football followed after.

Where athletes are people.
