What are the differences of playing styles of soccer/football leagues in Europe?

John asked:


I just want to know the differences between the:

-English Premiere League
-Spanish La Liga
-Italian Seria A
-Germany Bundesliga

i know its the same rules and all. but do each league have different styles of play? does one league play at a faster pace than the other? or slower? i just got into soccer, so i really don’t know much.

    -most teams play physical, counter-attacking football. speed and strength are the main attributes. lots of shots from distance and referees are very tolerant
    -Passing game, very technical, even goalkeepers. you would rarely see any shots from distance
    -Defensive football. they put 1-3 players upfront and they are supposed to score, the rest of the team defends
    -similar to spanish la liga

    This changes from league to league and is influenced by lots of things. I’m generalizing when i say one is faster than the other, but the answer is in line with your question

    English Premiere League
    Is the fastest and most physical
    Teams also play the most games in a season
    Top Teams – Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham

    Spanish La Liga
    Is the most technically adept
    The pace is fast but it is less physical
    Top Teams – Barcalona, Real Madrid, Valencia

    Italian Seria A
    Is technically adept
    Most teams prefer to counter attack
    Top Teams – AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus, Roma

    Germany Bundesliga
    Is the best administered league
    Teams play a more organised version of English style football
    Top Teams – Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen, Hamburg
