English Premier League
I want to give you a short speech about the football premier league of England. For those who dont know
it, the premier league is the highest football class of England. The Premier League consists of 20 clubs and in the end of the season three of them have to play in the First Division (2. Liga).
Actually I dont want to mention any special teams there, I just want you to have an small impression about tradition and emotion of the league.
The English premier league is after the primera division in spain the most popular and most successful
football league of Europe.
It keeps a long tradition. On the one side its still famous for his fans and on the
other side the Premier League is known for his hardness.
The fans of the different football clubs have an very important part in the history of this great football
League. They create an unbelievable atmosphare into different stadiums, which were all closely built to
the pitches. That is the reason why spectators have the feeling as they would be directly in game. The fans
in the Premier League are not the same like in Italy, Spain or in Germany.
They are something special,
they always stay behind their teams and help them also in difficult situations.
Another point I want to talk about is the hard way football is played there. It is a reason why the Premiere
League has so much respect in other nations. This kind of playing football is not used only in the national
cometition of course also international and on the whole this makes football clubs of england very
successful in a comparison with other international clubs.
The two words emotion and hardness are very important catchwords of the history of english football for
more than 10 years after and before the Premier League was founded 1992. Before 1992 the League was
called First Divison but now people in England call this League also Premiership or Barclays Premiership,
labelled as the main sponsor.
All of 20 clubs have their own history.
In spite of these great histories the League has also its dark sides. Many clubs are in a difficult financial
chaos but this shouldnt be reason to forget all positive impressions.

Die Premier League ist die höchste Spielklasse in England.
Sie besteht derzeit aus 20 Mannschaften, von denen am Ende einer Saison drei den bitteren Gang in die First Division (2. Liga) antreten müssen.
Da England auch als Mutterland des Fußballs gilt, gibt es zahlreiche Traditionsvereine. Dies sind zum Beispiel Aston Villa oder der FC Everton. Die Premier League zählt neben der Primera Division in Spanien und der italienischen Serie A zu den besten Ligen der Welt.
Zu den Topteams gehört seit vielen Jahren neben Manchester United auch Arsenal London.
Die Vereine sind mit vielen einheimischen, vor allem aber auch Spitzenspielern aus dem Ausland gespickt: Neben Ruud van Nistelrooy aus Holland und dem Portugiesen Cristiano Ronaldo (beide Manchester United) kickt beispielsweise auch Thierry Henry (Arsenal London) aus Frankreich in Englands Eliteklasse. Auch deutsche Spieler haben in England schon große Erfolge gefeiert, so zum Beispiel Jürgen Klinsmann (Tottenham Hotspur), Jens Lehmann (Arsenal London) und Dietmar Hamann (FC Liverpool).
