Hello, everyone.
Over the years we have seen wonderful attack-driven teams being beaten by ultra-defensive and result-driven "winners". Just remember the Catenaccio days. The failure of the 70's Holland. The fall of Brazil in 1982 under a less-talented Italy. Or, not going so far (but with less impact, of course) the defeat of Valencia in hands of Cuper's 11-men behind Inter in the last Champions League.
So, my point is that if the Merengues want to go somewhere, they should build a solid defence. Maybe they should be running behind Chivu, or Thuran. Or other talentend defenders. Hierro is leaving, his time is up. In my opinion, if they fail to do so, maybe the next Champions League final matches will continue to be mediocre and goalless and maybe the LFP could be won by a mediocre team that only wins its matches by 1-0. Or maybe the old Catenaccio days will go back. Maybe the next World Cup will be just like that in Italy in 1990. A really boring thing.
Do you agree?
