What has gone wrong in Europe?

England have failed in Europe for the past three years. The last time an English team reached a final was in 2012. In that time Germany have secured a German win by having two teams in the final. Spain have had a derby in the final with Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid and then won it again with Barcelona and two consecutive Europe league triumphs with Sevilla.

So what have England done wrong? Well what have we done right is my question? So far this season, there have already been seven defeats in the Champions League and only two of them have been to finalists in the past three years! So I guess that this means that they are playing bad football - no! So we have no good players - no way! The English league has the best talent to offer. So what is it then? I think that it is the style of play the top teams in England use to beat the lower teams in the Premier League that is a weaker form of play to that of the power players in the Champions League. England have brought fewer players up through their ranks and none of them starting. As well as bought English players there are only two with Man City, Chelsea having one maybe, two if you count J.T (John Terry), none from Arsenal and three from Man United. Whereas Barcelona had six when they were under Pep Guardiola in the first team and Real Madrid had four when they were under Jose Mourinho.

So, lets ditch the money, bring back the youth and change the style and win some European titles. So maybe, finally we can be the power houses in Europe we once were.
