Juninho is a great example. Tell you who else is tiny.... Lionel Messi. It's a myth that we have this all physical league anyway, teams are more competitive but it's not so much physicality as matching, German is tough in a similar way, but even the French, Spanish etc bar the top teams most games are a battle. What's brilliant about the Premier League is the FA's marketing team.
you can add David Silva to the list of top titches...you just have to be good enough and believe enough.
And the best player this league has ever seen is only a little taller than the premier league trophy!
2 more great shouts mate. It's simply not reality for me, so many of the very best, and when you are talking Scholes, Messi, Zola, you really are talking the very best, have been small lads. Even playing pub football where it's brutal I've seen small lads bossing it, it's mentality, ability, adaptability. I don't have any doubt that Clasie, a Holland international who has captained a massive club in front of massive, often volatile crowds for years can't adapt to the league, mt only concern is that Keoman has a head start, he made him captain at Feyenoord I believe.
Fighting is another thing where people believe bigger is better. I've seen tiny lads knock **** out blokes double their size. Speed and explosiveness count for so much. Half these brick ****houses can't swing fast enough to hit em. Powerful but sluggish.
Seba wasn't a great fit for this league mind! Best defender in world football is a midget as well, Phillip Lahm.
Just taking the piss. I actually really liked Veron. He was too expensive but he was a damn good player.
Agree mate half of these big lads take about 10 seconds to swing a punch. A hard punch is all about technique not how strong you are!
You're off your rocker mate! Scholes was definitely a top player but he was not the best. The Premier League will struggle to find someone to replicate what Ronnie did here. Before anyone says it, Hazard will not come close.
