Chapter 118 The rise of the Premier League, the decline of Serie A
Degan's hat-trick, coupled with Bell's icing on the cake, finally gave Tottenham Hotspur a big victory away from home. This score is both a normal and an unexpected result for the two teams.
Although people are more optimistic about the victory of Tottenham Hotspur with Degan before the game, Juventus is also a Serie A giant. Although it has experienced the blow of the telephone door incident, winning the league championship last season can basically announce the return of the former Serie A hegemon.
However, as the champion of Serie A, losing 0:4 to the fourth in the Premier League last season, this score once again confirms the rise of the Premier League and the decline of Serie A.
To talk about the rise of the Premier League, we have to mention the previous brilliant Serie A. The glory of Serie A was in the mid-early 1990s, when Italian teams entered the Champions League finals for nine consecutive years, and the Milan Dynasty became the ultimate singer.
After entering the 21st century, the Serie A teams once supported the situation with the golden yuan policy. Lazio, Rome, and the traditional top three in the north all had a period of crazy money-burning years.
However, the subsequent debt crisis led to the relegation of Florence, and Parma and Lazio were depressed. The former was accompanied by relegation all day long, and the latter occasionally made small troubles, and the seven sisters have withered three so far.
The economic situation in Rome is not very ideal. The Sensi family has been struggling to support it, and the club has been tightening its belt to live. At one time, it could not even enter the European war zone.
In addition, the top three in the north, leaning back. The economic support of the boss of Taiwan will not end the above four teams, but it is also far from the huge amount of 100 million spent in the previous year.
It should be said that the economic decline is the root cause of the weakening of the Italian League. After that, the telephone door broke out, Juventus and AC Milan suffered great damage, and the attraction of the whole league was greatly reduced, which made the Serie A, which was plagued by the economic crisis.
In terms of the team's specific record, in fact, in the troubled times in Europe from 1999 to 2002, none of the Serie A teams entered the Champions League finals, and few teams entered the top four.
So in 2003, the three Serie A teams entered the top four, which was the end of the crossbow. In the next few years, only AC Milan and Fiorentina, which owns Degan, struggled to support the European arena. Other teams have not even reached the quarterfinals. It can be said that AC Milan's three Champions League trophies, and Buddha Lorenza's three consecutive championships slowed down the complete weakness of Serie A.
After Juventus was relegated, although it soon returned to Serie A, its vitality was seriously damaged. Inter Milan was still the unbearable Adou in the European arena because it was suppressed by Florence in the domestic arena. The impression left on people in European arenas was only firecrackers, fights and red cards, so Florence was unprecedented. Even if the three consecutive crowns are brilliant, they are only the return of the light after the end of the strong crossbow.
In the last two seasons, without the superstar Degan, the Italian team has completely collapsed in Europe, and the weakness of Serie A has become an indisputable fact.
While Serie A has declined, the Premier League has shown strength in recent years, which has greatly copied the glorious momentum of Serie A in the 1990s. Since Liverpool won the Cup in 2005 and until last season, every year, teams have entered the top four of the Champions League. At the same time, the Premier League is also increasing in attractive to players.
The main reason why Serie A could have the reputation of a small World Cup is that most of the stars in the World Cup play in the Italian League. If the Premier League attracts more stars on the basis of keeping the existing stars in the future, it will undoubtedly further expand the appeal of fans.
Economic strength is the foundation of commercial football. The way the Premier League operates is different from the Continental League, and many aspects have learned from some models of the NBA.
The Premier League not only has one of the world's leading club brands like Manchester United, but also the brand of the whole league is also increasing. The huge economic benefits brought by the success of the league directly benefit the middle and lower reaches of the clubs. This season, a promoted Massiham United can spend nearly 30 million pounds in the transfer market. Silver, this is unimaginable in other leagues.
For example, Serie A giant AC Milan, they are used to tightening money and fooling around without a visa.
Compared with the original Serie A, the current Premier League still has an advantage. The fierce competition between the four giants and the brand effect caused by the virtuous circle is better than the previous Serie A.
In the 1990s, Italy first had the Milan dynasty. After 1995, AC Milan declined and Juventus rose. Other teams have been making trouble.
The Premier League is different. In addition to Chelsea, the other three teams are in a rising period. Needless to say, Arsenal and Manchester United, Liverpool's formation is also becoming more and more mature in the second half of last season, and the styles of the four giants have their own advantages. Arsenal and Manchester United are even more unique, overall It is more competitive than Italy and Spain with a single style.
Coupled with Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle's overall strength is also steadily improving, making the Premier League more and more exciting and competitive.
It is certain that in the next few years, the Premier League will continue and expand its dominance over Europe. Not surprisingly, the next five to ten years will be the Premier League era.
"I am very disappointed with the result of the game. We should have done better, but today's game has entered the rhythm of Tottenham Hotspur from the beginning. It is difficult for us to control the rhythm of the game in the midfield, which is the key to our loss!"
Conte looked frustrated at the post-match press conference. In this game, after Pirlo was controlled by Tottenham, there was nothing he could do. I have to say that he was still a little younger.
"I want to congratulate my opponent. This defeat also reminds us that we need to be careful in the next game! But I'm still very confident about the appearance of the group!"
It's their own business how Juventus to toss around next, and now the whole team of Tottenham should enjoy the joy of this victory.
"Returning to Italy, I will definitely feel very special. I have played here for six seasons, and it is here that I have won a lot of honors. In today's game, I have always felt very good and excited. Probably because I met a familiar opponent, we and Juventus There is another game. When it comes to White Deer Lane, I hope we will still win in the end!"
If Digan said such a thing before this game, there must be a lot of opposition, but after watching this game, I believe that there is only one thing people can say, which is a must!
