Just as Italians surely poopoo the attacking mind of Spanish football, and Spaniards the defensiveness of Italian, we both appreciate and respect, tactics.

I think these prem people can´t get into anything which isn´t mindlessly heaving up and down the pitch.

It´s evident when they see CL matches, and bitch about the officiating. The prem would be very boring were they to whistle every foul.

I still get a kick out of the English crowds applauding the awarding of a corner.

They mainly just say "why donta the defender justa go and take a the ball away?"

Seriously though, I think La Liga and the Spanish NT has really influenced Serie A recently. Roma has almost always embraced an attacking style (like, say, Spalleti's famed 4-6-0 champagne football) even when it was out of vogue.

However it's not only sides like Napoli or Fiorentina playing more opens attacking styles but perhaps more telling is that smaller sides like Sampdoria, Verona, Sassoulo etc are as well.

In small exchange, Diego Simeone seems to be giving La Liga a taste of some ol' fashioned take out your balls, break off a whiskey bottle and defend with your team for 90 minutes that used to be the norm of almost every Serie A side.
