Of course the Premier League is the most difficult league in the world because it's so even. I think you can't really compare other leagues with the Premier League. In the Premier League, every team can beat every team, and in football, that's something where you can have surprises.

Mesut Ozil

I watch the Premier League, the Spanish and Dutch leagues, and a little bit of the German league.

Louis van Gaal

Obviously the leagues are different. The Premier League is much more competitive than the Dutch league.

I won the most important league in Europe, I think - not just Europe but the world - the Premier League.

People say 'Why would you learn Dutch? Nobody speaks it. Why not French?' Even the Dutch say that to me! I say because I want to live here, I think it's only common courtesy that I speak the language.

Every footballer knows the Premier League is a great league. It's very competitive, and it's among the best leagues in the world.

I didn't join Chelsea to lose things. I came because the Premier League is the strongest in the world and I am playing for one of the strongest teams.
