Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti – “A Liga has more tactical quality than the Premier League”

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti told the press in Spain that the tactical level in La Liga is a level above Premier League, after his team's 4-0 win against Celta Vigo. The Italian manager has won league titles in each of the five major leagues in Europe.

In addition to the flow of footballers on their way to the riches of the Premier League, many of the best managers in the world have also moved to England. Currently seven of the managers in the Premier League have managed in La Liga before, including four Spanish managers. It started as five with Julen Lopetegui in charge of the Wolves.

However Carlo Ancelotti he still feels that the League is ahead of England in terms of strategy, as he said AS Diary.

“It is different. This does not mean better or worse. There are fewer tactics. At the tactical level, the League is much better than the English. If we talk about intensity, pace, the English league may have more. But the Spanish it has more tactical quality.”

Poor results in Europe this season have reinforced fears in Spain that La Liga is falling behind its competitors. Real Betis did not focus on the Conference League, but was eliminated by Dinamo Zagreb just the same, while Osasuna went out in the qualifying round, and Sevilla was eliminated from the Champions League in last place in his group. If Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Villarreal do not progress from their second leg, Real Madrid will be the only Spanish team remaining in the quarter-finals of any competition.
