Real Sociedad manager David Moyes believes that Spanish football is more technical than the English game.
The former Manchester United boss made his return to management with Sociedad last month, signing an 18-month deal with the La Liga outfit.
Moyes has said that he has noticed differences between the two styles of play just six weeks into his tenure.
"Spanish football can be more technical and perhaps English football can be more physical and with stronger teams," the Scot told the London Evening Standard.
"But we must recognise that this Spanish national team have won a World Cup and two European Championships and that means that in Spain, in La Liga, they are doing things very well.
"I have always stressed that English football is very competitive but, since I have been here, I think that La Liga is too. I love the diversity that is being achieved in La Liga and in the Premier League, and that is a good thing for the sport."
Moyes has won two, drawn four and lost one of his seven games in charge of Sociedad.
