Oh come on now. And Italian teams don't play defensive? They have mastered the art of defense. Are you telling me that Italian teams play all out attack?
I have no problems with a team playing defensive..
United played defensive football last night and still scored 7!!!??? Chelsea and Arsenal play defensive and counter attack football? Did you watch Chelsea last night? They had Valencia under so much pressure for such long spells. Last season Arsenal played some of the most attractive football in Europe.
Well, we agree that you scored your first 3 goals from counterattacks I guess. Roma had the first three shots on goal from what I remember.
After that Roma was in shambles and you controlled them. Still, this United team has its main strength in defense.
Valencia is an ultra defensive team and Chelsea needed to grab a win. Obviously, you try to attack there.
But Chelsea are considered by some as boring too.
Arsenal are a different story...I don't see them in the semifinals though, do you?
I mean with that statement you have made me praise Chelsea and Arsenal. I will never forgive you for it mate
Again, I have no problem with defensive football. I think that in certain circumstances and given the team you build it's your right.
There are other people however who believe playing offensive football and doing mambo jambo stuff is a divine commandment.
I don't diss Italian football and call them boring and defensive.
but it's funny to see people who usually do that in praise of the 3 English teams in semifinals, where 2 of them are not really the most offensive teams outthere and the 3rd one last night scored 3 times from 3 counterattacks.
