Premier League: Not Just Tackling


Premier League teams are given the false stereotype that they are all just big bodies who run into their opponents. Giving the impression the Premier League is full of dumb blokes. This is simply not true, because everything a Premier League player does has a strategy to it. If they stay on the wing they have less defenders marking them and they are most likely fast. If they play center defensive midfielder they have great positional awareness. Finally, if they play center back they most likely know how to tackle. But they do not use this skill as if they don;t know how to use it. It is a fine art defending, and they simply know what it takes to make it in the Premier League. If that means making hard tackles they will do it. Anything to win the game. Which is why the Premier League is one of the most competitive leagues.
