CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN IT?

I've done a review of the past 10 seasons in Europe, including this one (Champions and Europa League). Spanish teams have been in semifinals 23 times (12+11), with 7 Titles (3+4). The English 20 (15+5), with 3 wins (3+0). Germany has 11 semifinalists (5+6) and 1 Title (0+1). The complete table can be seen below:

I've heard and read many things about the Champions League semifinals yesterday and before yesterday and also about the teams in Germany, England, etc.. Here are some of them:
  • Spanish teams lose in Europe because the Spanish league is not competitive enough.
  • If the league is too competitive, you don't arrive well at the end of the season.
  • It is better that the league is not so competitive, because you arrive fresh at the end of the season.
  • The league does not have a high level, because the champion is 20 points ahead of the second.
  • This team plays badly, and loses, because it is in bad shape "physical".
  • This team plays well and wins, it is in great shape "physical".
  • English teams can not compete in Europe, as the level of English football is very low.
  • The "tiki-taka" is not useful to go to Europe.
  • The Germans are not creative.
  • The English do direct play because the weather in the islands is pretty bad, and pitches are often muddy. With this you can not go to Europe.
  • The English direct play is bad for the other teams, as they are not used to play against it
  • 1 defensive midfielder just does not work, it has plenty of room to cover
  • The double pivot does not work, because there is only 1 link with the forwards.
  • 2 Forwards Centers is better than 1, as this is very lonely.
  • It's better tot play with switched wingers, because the ball goes closing when crosses.
  • It's better "classic" wingers, as they give more width
  • You can not play every week with a different line-up
  • Fans should know "by memory" the lineup.
Everything that comes here has been said and/or commented on by the big "gurus" that fill newspapers, magazines, radio and television. I simply have made a compilation/summary.

And, we could add a lot more. Ones, to one side, others, to the other. And speaking of players, the list of "sentences" is amazing. Today "X" is a phenomenon. Tomorrow, is useless. Today "Y" has not been fine. Today "Y" has been pretty good. The goalkeeper has failed in the second goal. The goalkeeper couldn't see in the second goal. And, whatever you want.

Anybody can explain how you can say so much different and contrary things and that everyone is right at the same time? Anybody can explain how to link the data set with everything that it is said? Because obviously, ALL are right! Or maybe not? Thank you!
