Question... Is it the Spaish tactical philosophy to have a more attacking oriented LB, while the RB is more defensive in nature?

Yes. A pure left winger, back in the day, as well. There´s always been a penchant for the damage a ´wrong´ footed player can do in attack.

Also, Spain traditionally has not had an abundance of 9´s, so the roles these people play are laden with more responsibility in attack than in other countries.
