You can't say it's good when guys out there are signing minor league deals and they would be big league players on 80 percent of the teams, but why would a team sign a player when you can pay dirt, and they're not going to win anyway?
I know it is really hard to win a league, especially the Premier League, but we have experienced players here at Liverpool.
It's pretty hard to predict anything when talking about the Premier League because of the liabilities the teams and the players have when playing in the Champions League and the other cups, too.
To see a small, modest team built on hard work, where the players are so close, so together, win week after week, stay up there and play so well, when they're so consistent and they win the league, that makes people take them to their hearts.
Playing week in, week out in the Premier League is massive. You're coming across the best players in the world in probably the best league in the world.
What puts you in a different level is if you win the Premier League, and you're capable of challenging every season for the Premier League, and if you play Champions League, and you really believe, and you're a real contender one day to win the Champions League. That's my objective in Tottenham.
It's such a crazy league, the Championship. People used to say that to me, and when you are in the Premier League, you don't really take notice. It's a good league; it's tough, and I like it. But the Premier League is where I want to be, with Villa.
If you analyze the German league, the Spanish league, the Italian league, there are two or three teams that stand out above the rest, and the other teams have a regular level.
I'm not going to say the Dutch league is naive but they all play to win. In the Premier League, you have teams with a different idea.
Spanish football is very good but every year the same teams win the league.
The Spanish league has better individual players than the German league. However, in Germany, there are more teams that are uncomfortable to play against because they are more aggressive than teams in Spain.
There are so many great players in the Premier League and of course the big teams are always the favourites, but the teams below them also play good football. The mixture of foreign and English players works really well.
I like Tammy Abraham and Olivier Giroud, they are good players, but are they going to win you the Premier League? No, and I say that because they are not going to be in the top five or six goal scorers in the league.
It's hard to win in the league, because every team is good, they got players on their team. A lot harder than high school. It's competitive, and that's what I most love about it.
I am one of the pioneers, along with those players who went before me, and I'm coming to China to help the league and help more players get to know this league.
Closing games out in this league is hard. You have a lot of good players that you are facing, and fourth quarters are tough to handle because teams are going to make their run.
