Different leagues across the globe come with their unique culture that X-rays the mood of the people at every given opportunity and this uniqueness among these leagues make them important to football fans all over the world.
In Europe for example; all the 5 top flights leagues do go for season break for the players to may be have a good time with their families during the Christmas period as well as allow them to recover physically, emotionally and psychologically after a hectic first half season.
To me this is a pretty idea from the league management board (FA) considering the fact that the health and well being of the players are put into consideration as well as the FA member to have a nice time with their families because what is good for the goose is also good for the gander.
But such is not the fate of player who ply their trade in the most competitive league in the world which somehow has made the league to keep up to its demands by many football fans and enthusiast during the festive period. Many fans will always love to take some time out to watch one or two games during this period and there is no other place where this can be obtained than the English Premier League.
This singular reason of not taking the foot of the pedal has made the league most watch as well considered to be the toughest league in the world.
I situation where players go almost 8 months playing games across different competitions like the league, Caraboa, FA Cup couple with some UEFA competitions makes it highly demanding.
According to formal Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson once said and I believe its true ‘’Football, bloody hell’’ and many will agree with me that such is the level of competition in the English premier league.
Can you believe that the once feared Manchester City; tipped to be invincible to be at this position in the league now. Chelsea lost to wolves and Leicester with 70% of possession with no points to show for their efforts but on the contrary won 2-0 with less than 40% possession against Manchester City. Such are the twists in the league that makes it interesting and unpredictable.
In another Sir Alex Ferguson from where I will be drawing my conclusion as well as my Christmas wishes to all football fans across the world and especially scorum community ‘’the real battle for trophies starts after the Christmas and New year period finishes’’
This period will clearly define how pretty well some teams are going to line up on the EPL log.
After this period we may as well receive shocking dismissal of coaches and movements of players across clubs and league to help fortified positions in the league.
Six games in 12 days for teams in the caraboa cup semi finals will be a moment to define the boys from the men. This is a period that will test teams’ strength in terms of dept as well as mental ability.
Tomorrow will be Boxing Day football in the EPL and the house is already bobbling with friends and relatives. Everybody will be supporting of their club and maybe we have to split the TV screen into sections to accommodate all interests, hahahaha
AS we celebrate the festive period with our loves once, please make out time to show someone around you love not necessarily with a gift but a cheerful smile.
To the scorumnigeria community is say Merry Christmas to your guys
''Make wuna keep my own Chicken o''
To all the scorum members who has made our stay here a memorable one and the organizers of different contest here, I say
