In an exclusive interview with Football-Oranje, which you can watch below, Sheffield Wednesday captain Glenn Loovens suggested that the English Championship is the toughest league he has ever played in – even more so than the Eredivisie and La Liga.

In one of the questions put forward to Loovens regarding the most difficult league he has experienced, the defender answered, “I think the Championship, where I play now, is the toughest.”
When pressed on why Spain’s La Liga was not his choice, Loovens replied, “There are so many more games in this league. The games are a lot more competitive because the teams are a lot more equal to each other. Of course, Spain is hard as well. If you play Barcelona or Real, it’s hard. I think the sheer amount of games you play makes it a very tough league.”
In addition, the 33-year-old seemingly ruled out a future return to first club Feyenoord, which he has supported since being a child.
“At the moment I have another year’s contract at Sheffield Wednesday. I’m the captain here, I’m very much respected. I enjoy my time very much [at Wednesday], so does my family, so in the near future I don’t see the urge to change my career at the moment. What the future will bring we will see but at the moment I’m very happy where I am.”
