Newly promoted Premier League teams enter preseason with excitement from new signings and the belief in their capabilities. However, this confidence can be misleading. While some players relish their first matches in the Premier League, the preseason experience does not fully prepare teams for the actual competitiveness they will face. Past experiences show how quickly hope can turn into struggle, as teams often find themselves challenged unexpectedly. Even if they aren't outright worse than opponents, newly promoted teams must recognize the potential for losses and the need to adapt quickly to the league's realities.
Preseason for a newly promoted Premier League team is a unique experience. It's filled with hope, new signings and the belief that the club shouldn't be underestimated.
Promotion has instilled a belief in what the manager is doing, and that has been transmitted to the players. For some of the players, it's their first time in the Premier League.
Even though the players and teams you're up against every week in the league aren't all better than you, they're all more than capable of taking points from you.
You soon realize that the games you play in preseason don't necessarily prepare you for the difficulty of playing in the Premier League.
