In the UK there is this opinion of ganging up and physically dominating creative players, but that shouldn't be confused for saying one player is better than another or x player is not very good.
That is a general British belief, that swamping an opponent with physicality and tempo can win over. It has done in the past, and we have fell victim to it ourselves, but there is no development in that kind of football, which is essentially why British sides without the aid of foreigners have turned to shite.
