But, as tonight proved, possession alone doesn't win games, goals do.
I think a combination of "tippy tappy" and quick breaks, mixed up with the occasional long ball, would be an exciting style, rather than all slow build-up and possession, and boring teams into submission
This.............the long ball to Ballotelli nearly worked several times last night proving there needs to be a mix of styles, Germany play long too sometimes and I think they will probably win it, will be interesting to see how Spain play when pushed, rather than being allowed to boss games.
