Louis van Gaal put all regularly praise the premiership and said during his first press conference as coach of Manchester United again:. "The lmfao league is one of the four strongest leagues in the world Tactically we are the best and that we have proved in Brazil. "
The recent results of Dutch clubs in Europe underline that assertion Van Gaal at all. Also on the UEFA coefficient rankings, which the club results are included lmfao in the last five European seasons are not the Netherlands is among the top countries.
This year, the Netherlands is in eighth place behind Spain, England, Germany, Italy, Portugal, France and Russia. On the list of next year Ukraine is past us. Of a free fall is still out, but a few seasons as the past two and Netherlands sinks deeply.
Statistician Simon Gleave, lmfao scout Edward Metgod, coaches Aad de Mos and Jimmy Calderwood and player Simon Cziommer leave this place already shed light on the current strength of the league. World of worrying weak? Gleave: Third level
Simon Gleave, Head of Analysis of Infostrada Sports, made an analysis of the Euro Club Index, a ranking of all football clubs in the top European divisions. "In a first simple analysis I have taken the average rating of all the clubs in a competition," says the British statistician.
"The league is in this ranking twelfth., There are clear differences with the elite leagues in Spain, Germany and England, then Serie A, then Russia and France. Besides these top six are a lot of countries close together, including the Netherlands."
"The Netherlands should in principle be in the top ten leagues, but the clubs that promoted are generally very weak," says Gleave. "Dordrecht, Excelsior, also William II, Go Ahead Eagles, Cambuur not really belong in a top competition. Die reach the level down. Therefore, the depth of the league is not as good as for example in Turkey, which also has to do with the size of a country. "
"The first analysis is not entirely fair because not all countries have the same number of clubs in the league," added Gleave. "Switzerland, for example, only ten clubs in the top division and is ninth in the initial evaluation."
For the latter reason Gleave made a second analysis lmfao with only the first ten clubs in each league. It comes from Switzerland in thirteenth place and occupied Netherlands lmfao ninth position, just behind Turkey.
"There is a clear top six in both analyzes," concludes Gleave. "The Primera División is the number one, the Premier League's number two, number three Bundesliga and Serie A is the number four. Afterwards, the Russian Premier League, French Ligue 1, more or less the same level, far behind the other four in both analyzes. After those six is reasonably close together with Portugal, Turkey, the Netherlands and Ukraine. lmfao Netherlands belongs to the third level, especially in the top four leagues in Europe. " Withgod: talent to fruition
"The European results do not lie and that rankings do not," responds Edward Metgod, lmfao scout and analyst on the staff of the Dutch team. "There, you can not avoid it. Numbers are not everything, but it says a lot."
"But if you ask: Netherlands plays a role in international football, then the answer is yes," continues Metgod. "Because we are in this small country is able to come. When you bring those players together lmfao and have a thought football plan, a vision, his talented players to mature you can be successful, even in a third World Cup."
Withgod looked at the past two years numerous games in various European leagues. He sees differences with the league. "In the Netherlands for example, we have different requirements to supporters," the 54-year-old goalkeeper. "We like to see a central lmfao defender that retracts and so footballing comes into midfield., We tend to look at his footballing ability. Example, but a ball holds, is soon seen as a bad solution." lmfao
"In other countries, there are more looking at the pure defensive qualities. Take Jérôme Boateng, Mats Hummels in Germany. These are types other than Joël Veltman and Stefan de Vrij. Our supporters are less physical, thinking and acting less from the clash, have more footballing ability lmfao and more likely to choose footballing solutions. "
"In the Dutch league we play football in a different way than is often the case internationally," added Metgod. "This is played more open than in Italy or Germany, naive as s
