Wait, can't you play to win with a defensive style aswell? Can't see how It's negative, use the right players for best possible result.
And against the best defense in the world, I don't see how they could have scored anyway with thier forward of thiers.
Yes, they played more offensive and it costed them the match, not worth it if you ask me.
But I have to agree with this guy with his previous post..
Barca and Spain indeed have raised the bar, like it or not, they'll be on top for many more years to come.
I would like to see the bigger clubs go thier way (not talking about thier football style) and invest more and more in the youth.
I want to see 20 year olds starting in Inter, who earn under 500k, that can actually pass, defend and score, not a retarded overpaid 35 year old who can't even cross.
It'll take a while, probably over 10 years to see it happening here, but why not?
As for Barca.. as much as I dislike them, I can't see how they're gonna fall apart anytime soon. (alongside Spain)
They got a plan going, it started over 10 years ago, only came to full effect only around 5 years ago though.
They will always have a replacement for thier current players, maybe only Messi is impossible to replace, but there will be a new Iniesta and Xavi.
Like 'em or not, that's the reality.
