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 .
A lot of people here seem not to have watched those matches back then and just read stats. It’s stupid comparing Bayern 2013 with Germany 2014. Germany adopted some of the tactics Pep introduced to Bayern. 2013 Bayern had Martinez, a Spaniard, that destroyed Barca’s midfield. 2013 Barca were in a bad shape even before that match. It seems a lot of people here either don’t remember these information or just didn’t follow these teams back then.
Germany 2014 was that great, but they couldn’t win anything else but the Confederations Cup, right?🤔
