Bojan is a real choker.
His father made him far too Spanish. Should have sent him to Red Star as a youngster.

Footballing styles are cyclical. In the 70's, everyone said defensive football was dead due to the coming of Total Football, but plenty teams have still won playing defensively since then.
I don't approve of the sort of defensive football that most teams play (lining up 10 men on the edge of their own box). That is asking for trouble because you aren't pressing the ball and you don't pose a threat on the break.
I like defensive football, but I like it to be done with a high defensive line and the midfielders putting a lot of pressure on the ball, possibly with one or two key opposition players being man marked. Being high up the pitch and pressing hard also means you have players higher up the pitch, which makes you more dangerous on the break.
The difference between us is that you are obsessed with possession football. I am not interested in having the ball just for the sake of it.

You are obsessed with defensive football, what's the difference?
I won't go into the advantages of having a lot of possession, especially with a weak defense, as they are too obvious.
But one thing is for certain, I do not like sides who waste a lot of chances. If it was my team, they'd better finish their chances or they would be running quite a lot after a loss of missed chances.

If I was to build a team from scratch, they would be a defensive counter attacking team.
That does not mean I believe teams who don't have the players to play like that should try to.
I'm not going to tell Barca to sit back and defend, though I think they would be better if they let the opposition have the ball a little more as it would allow them more counter attacking chances.
