Actions Resume At Football Leagues
By Tanko Bauka
The frenzy and exciting time for football lovers are here again as most of the major leagues in the world, which have been on break, will resume this weekend.
Among the leagues starting this Friday are the most watched and the best football league in the world, the English Premier League EPL, the Spanish LA Liga, the Italian Serie A and the French Ligue 1.
Football globally is believed to be a unifying force and it comes with a lot of excitements amongst followers in all the foreign Leagues.
The English Premier League EPL has been adjudged as the best and the most watched because of its organizational structures as well as the signing of quality players to strengthen the depth of clubs for the league title.
This season, many clubs, except for Liverpool FC which are yet to do any single transfer business, the rest have all gone to the transfer market to do one or two deals for players.
Chelsea FC have been the busiest with the most signings while some are still in the transfer market to finalize some of their deals.
The curtain raiser for the English Premier League EPL, the community shield between the winner of the league and the FA Cup winner, was played last week on Saturday between Manchester City and Manchester United. The match finished one piece, but Machester City prevailed during a penalty shootout, winning the community shield 7-6.
The first match of the English Premier League will see Manchester United taking on Fulham on Friday at Old Trafford.
Attention will shift to Saturday and Sunday with mouth-watering encounters as Chelsea battle it out with the league Champion Manchester City.
