The fundamental difference between the PL and La Liga is the attitude lower sides have towards playing the top teams - the only time a ground is full in Spain is when one of the big two come to visit, and it turns into a bit of a procession. The fans expect their side to have a go, and consequently they don't defend in huge numbers and hit on the counter attack as is what you really have to do. No side in Spain has emulated how Chelsea played them a couple of years ago, which in my view, was just about spot on. In fact, United v Arsenal the other week was strikingly similar to so many games La Liga churns up every week. Obviously we were the inferior side due to the loss of our two best players and multiple injuries, but we played as if we were your equals, which was obviously not the case. Hence we got battered, whereas if we'd accepted that on that day, we were going to field the inferior team in terms of talent, and created our tactics accordingly, the score would never have been so high. |
