There’s no better football league in the world than LaLiga
One of South African football’s greatest thinkers on the pitch, Teko Modise, believes that, for the fan who loves carpet football, technical ability and intelligence, there is no better league in the world than Spain’s LaLiga.
Also, the ability to attract such players who don’t necessarily need height. They don’t need to be superstrong on the pitch or have speed, but they are very smart, thinking players.I’m at Madrid to be David Alaba, not Ramos’ replacement We were fortunate to witness superstars such as Ronaldo on one side and Lionel Messi on the other for 10 to 15 years.
I think these are some of the main attributes they have in their game and also something I try to take bits and pieces from. I think what made the team so special was the understanding among the players. It also helped that at the time of the dominance in Spanish football, there was Barcelona, whose philosophy was the tiki-taka style of keeping the ball on the ground.
For me it was very educational, because they had Andrés Iniesta, Busquets, Xavi, Xabi Alonso, Silva – players who know how to play simple football, but are so skilful and are able to control the tempo.
