Many people actually have their own rankings for the difficulty of winning the championship in each of the five major leagues in Europe, but a very interesting thing has emerged, that is, every fan basically ranks the Premier League in the most difficult league to defend the title, which is basically unified, so how difficult is it to defend the title in these leagues? Take a look at this leaderboard.
The first, the hardest league to defend, the Premier League, but because of guardiola's arrival, it seems that the difficulty of defending the title in this league has decreased?
The Premier League is the most competitive, or there will be six teams, the reason why it is six teams, indicating that these six teams are competitive, are all contenders for the league championship. So generally this league looks very competitive, a lot of strong teams, of course, a troublesome problem has emerged, with the arrival of Guardiola, the difficulty of defending the Premier League is reduced?
Manchester City recently actually defended the Premier League, this year also looks like there is a chance, the rest of the team now looks like it is left behind, of course, for Manchester City, many people think that this team continues to buy players, is the reason why this team has been very strong, this is actually a problem, such as looking at Manchester United, this team also seems to have been buying players, but basically did not buy right, Chelsea actually invested not necessarily smaller than Manchester City, but it seems that now it is also encountering some problems, At least for now the team is less competitive than expected. And this year's league champion should be Chelsea's Romelu Lukaku. Liverpool may be really invested in the general, so the current Premier League is actually three or so teams competing for a title, but it seems that Manchester City is the most stable, but also not as good as before, Manchester City has now completed the replacement, the Middle Generation players are the core of the case, the Premier League wants to lose the title, unless there is a large-scale injury, so this league is actually less difficult to defend the title, but at least three to four teams are competing for the title.
But does Guardiola's system really make this league look a little less interesting than it used to be?
Serie A is now probably the second hardest league to defend, because many teams are now in the moment of replacement between old and new, and many teams have not found the core now, so this league is actually more difficult to defend than the Premier League?
From the game point of view, Serie A does not have an absolute strong team now, but there are a bunch of teams that look like they have a chance to win the championship, this is the interesting place, but there is no way, Juve has fallen, if Juve has not fallen, at least the current Serie A is still no suspense, so Juve has fallen, this league has not found a new hegemon now.
Inter look like they have a chance to defend their title, but it depends on how they play later, because after the winter break, there may be some changes in the squad of many teams, and Inter's lead is not so obvious, which is the problem of the serie A leaders now. Milan are not without a chance to win the title, Napoli returned from injury, Atalanta returned from injury, these teams seem to have a chance, after all, the main squad of these two teams is still very strong. Juve have actually improved their performance now, but there is a 12-point gap with Inter, so whether Inter can defend their title still needs to see the performance of the later games, serie A this year to defend the title is very difficult, because many teams have their own uncertainties.
La Liga is also difficult to defend, but La Liga is the idea of three teams rotating for the title
In fact, the recent La Liga matches, Real Madrid, Barca and Atletico Have been winning the championship, basically on these three teams to rotate to win the championship, of course, generally these teams are in the other opponents at the trough, to complete the championship, this year is Real Madrid performance more stable, so Real Madrid to win the championship. But the rest of the teams really can't compete with these three teams, and the rest of the teams have been doing well in the league, which is also a problem. Why do many people say that La Liga is the Western Super League, which is the reason, because except for Real Madrid and Barcelona, plus Atletico, the rest of the teams should not have won in La Liga in the past 10 years, right?
As for the Bundesliga and Ligue 1, it is not as bad as imagined, but the reason why these two leagues now seem easy to defend their titles is because the strong teams are too stable.
In fact, Ligue 1, now Marseille and Lyon are considered to have a certain degree of competitiveness, but the actual game performance, are not as good as the current Paris, after all, Paris bought better players, this team's player strength is stronger, this is no way, Paris after all, the current investment is the sum of many Ligue 1 teams, so it feels that Paris is not defending the title now, last year if it were not for the chaos of the league format, Paris would not have lost the championship. But in Ligue 1, Paris does invest about the same as the rest of the European teams, or even more, this is the golden dollar football, but Paris can continue to develop, this is also what everyone can see.
In fact, when Bayern had problems in the Bundesliga, the opponent did not seize the opportunity, and as a result, after Bayern has completed the replacement, it is basically difficult for the team to defend the title, which is also a key part. So Bayern gave some opponents a chance, but the opponent did not grasp it, and as a result, Dort, who is now the most likely to win the championship, now there are a lot of problems in the defense, a little troublesome. So Ligue 1 and Bundesliga now look a bit easier to defend their titles, and that's why.
