Germany was a rival to Spains dominant era, but they always lost. Germanys high press style didnt really come about until about 2013. I think 2014 Germany was much different than 2010 in terms of style. I feel like theyd give trouble to spain, and their counters would be a handful .
That starting line up they had in 2014 was very good. I don’t think there’s much excuses. Lvg really cluttered the center with pressure it was amazing tactics. Spain just couldn’t be comfortable on the ball with all those guys running around.
