The
English Premier League has kicked off in spectacular fashion with new managers
joining the train. Americans are gradually warming up to the game of soccer as
the Major League Soccer has seen much advancement in recent years evident to
the performance of the United States Men’s National Team at the FIFA World Cup
Brazil 2014 and the Copa America Centenario.
American
audience has been blessed with Didier Drogba at Montreal Impact, Sebastian
Giovinco has been perfect for Toronto FC, Ricardo Kaka at Orlando City, Steven
Gerrard at LA Galaxy and the trio of Frank Lampard, Andrea Pirlo and David
Villa doing all the works with New York City Football Club.
Americans
are not missing anything because of the vast sporting interests the country has
but these are some reasons why Americans should patronize the English Premier
League and make time for the matches in display week in and week out.
World’s
Best Coaches Managed Teams in the English Premier League
The
2016/17 season was the most talked about during the summer and it continues to
dominate the European transfer market. The transfers are coming through because
of the tactically astute manager’s that are managing teams in the league. They
attract every player because of their pedigree in the game. The FIFA World
Coach of the Year has been ushered out on six different occasion’s right from
2010 to 2015 with Luis Enrique of FC Barcelona the current holder.
The
first two managers to have won the award Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola are
now changing the course of clubs in the city of Manchester. Guardiola has
brought has play, position and possession to England whiles Mourinho has been
given the nod to overturn the fortunes of Manchester United this campaign.
Other
top notch coaches that have lifted numerous Championships both in the premier
league and other nationalities which includes Antonio Conte, Arsene Wenger and
Ronald Koeman make up the list of managers that are bringing so much intensity
to the English League.
New Advertising Deal Gives English
Premier League Teams Financial Muscle over Other Teams
The
English Premier League has been blessed with great investment by Sky Sports and
BT Sports in a deal that sees each of the clubs earn more than 80 million
pounds in TV rights. English Teams have gotten the nod over other European
Teams in the transfer market. Middle and low class teams are pushing for
players and ushering out huge money for players but the same thing cannot be
said for low and middle class teams in other leagues around Europe. Americans
love to invest and a league with so much investment should in no way be missed
because quality players bring much competition and intensity to championships.
The
Pedigree of Clubs Matching the Achievements of Teams in American Sports
Clubs
in the premier league are backed financially by investors and that creates this
direct symbolism with sports in the United States. Manchester United equals the
achievements of the New York Yankees in terms of name and achievements and can
also be considered on the same wavelength as Boston Celtics and Los Angeles
Lakers in terms of championships won.
The
English League is filled with the adrenalin and intensity week in and week out,
something American NBA fans experience only during the playoffs.
The
European leagues are back and the English Premier League has been expertly set
out with Manchester United and Chelsea losing vital games. American fans should
stay glue to their seats and get awed by what the English Premier League has to
offer.
