I was thinking about this for awhile, and was wondering if anyone else felt that people are hesitant to award Premier League players with the credit they deserve?
Eg. Am I crazy or was Haaland not winning the Ballon D’or really disrespectful towards the Premier League?
He set the goals record, and won the treble.
You Look over the list of winners and in the premier league era only Michael Owen and Ronaldo have ever won it while playing for a premier league team.
How did Henry not win it in 2003?
I feel like now that he is dominating a much poorer league Harry Kane is finally getting the respect he deserves.
Jude Bellingham is getting bonus credit for doing it for Real Madrid.
Yes. Always has and always will. And it’s for a very simple reason. Europe doesn’t like England or the premier league. The overbloated bollox about it being the best league in the world, snapping everyone’s players and youth players.
PL based players only get it when it would unmask the dislike.
And I’m saying this as someone not from England. While I support an English team the crowing about the best league in the world and all that shit is very annoying
