PREMIER LEAGUE, The City began the defense of his throne

Today kicks out an exciting new edition of the Premier League. The Manchester City, defending champions as favorites despite the arrival of Jack Rodwell only. His main rivals for the title are Manchester United, who has just taken a knock on effect with the signing of Robin van Persie, Chelsea and Di Matteo, who has spent 80 million on the likes of Hazard and Oscar. To defend our league, until a year ago could use one of those statistics that mask truths. Since 2004, the Barcelona and Madrid had monopolized all leagues.Just the same as Chelsea and Manchester United.To that list has now been added on Manchester City: Premier League is one of the world's most competitive leagues. Back from favorites Mancini's team has been reinforced only with Rodwell, a midfielder who can turn out to be central. The objective is the Champions League and good. The four squares in the top European competition will come from the two rivals for the title (Chelsea and Manchester United) and a list of three potential teams: Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham and Newcastle. The arrival of Van Persie to make his United Front perhaps the most feared in the country (Kagawa, Rooney, Chicharito and Wellbeck, Berbatov is looking team) but it was the position that needed new wise. Vidic back from his long injury, but doubt Rio Ferdinand and Evra, and the lack of creativity in midfield. Chelsea stayed with Di Matteo but because Guardiola decided not to change plans, so it is in charge of a team rejuvenated, full of expectations and the role of Fernando Torres. Behind him a few of what Abramovich called "Torres assistants": Mata, Hazard, Oscar and Marko Marin. It has spent $ 80 million this summer and the goal, won the Champions League, is returning to the top of the Premier. Arsenal are said to have survived the departure of its stars. But in reality it is no accident that takes seven years without titles: while paying the construction of a stadium, the team loses competitiveness and can be next to go to Barcelona Song. In any case, Wenger and Cesc saga learned of the arrival of Podolski and Giroud served to cushion the blow. Arteta Cazorla and offer experience and quality. Villas Boas (Tottenham) and Rodgers (Liverpool) are devout followers of tiqui-TACA. Roberto Martinez will try to continue working miracles with Wigan, while the Premier was full of Spanish players upper middle class (including Chico in Michu and Michael Laudrup Swansea).
