Yep, on the counter
That's total opposite to the historic way of playing football at Madrid.
You prob remember the Galacticos who were never parking any bus, but even before that, going all the way back to the Di Stefanos and the Puskacs team
The fact that their fanbase simply swallowed that HUGE change in philosophy just like that,
in exchange for dethroning the great Barca of Pep
tells you everything you need to know about their spineless nature
The Galacticos were pretty offensive but not very well coached iirc. It was a free-flowing Harry Redknapp esque system from what I remember. More about vibes than intricate offensive play or any form of micro-management. In a very "lads go out there and express yourselves" manner, they weren't tactically sophisticated.
My point is that yesterday's style of play was unbelievably dogshite and Mourinho's low block counter attacking system at Real was far more fun to watch than yesterday's pile of crap. Yesterday they genuinely played more defensive than Big Sam's Bolton(underrated team btw).
In my personal opinion, Klopp and Wenger's style of play is far more entertaining than the typical Barca or Pep's style. The style Spain NT used in the 2010 WC was horrendous to watch. So boring when they were using ball possession as a defensive mechanism. Gimme Klopp's fast, vertical, counterpressing system anyday.
The 3 managers with the most entertaining and fun style of play:
Klopp(Dortmund, Liverpool)
Wenger(Arsenal)
Bielsa(Leeds).
PS: The streets will never forget Peak Sarriball at Napoli.
