It’s more physical and a bit crazier in the EPL – Niguez Saul admits

It’s five months since Chelsea signed Niguez Saul on loan from Atletico Madrid.

Saul, in a recent statement, revealed what he has found to be the biggest differences between Spanish La Liga, where he played eight seasons for Atletico Madrid and the Premier League.

The Blues midfielder, in his statement with Chelsea official website, said the two leagues are different.

He stressed football is much more tactical in Spain, whereas it’s more physical and a bit crazier in England.

Saul said, “There’s more back and forth, it’s less about having control of the game and more about entertaining the fans. You can do things here that you really can’t do in La Liga.

For example, I was talking to my friends the other day about Eden Hazard. When he was here, he was easily one of the best players in the world and then he goes to La Liga and has his own difficulties because it’s a totally different game.

Here he had more one-vs-ones and two-vs-ones but in La Liga, because everyone knows how good his team is and how good he is, other teams make it much more difficult for him. Here it’s happening a bit in reverse, although I think it’s a bit easier to adapt from La Liga to the Premier League than from the Premier League to La Liga.”
