Styles of Play

Hello again,this blog is about the styles of play in two of the biggest countries in the world,England and Spain. Firstly with England and the Premier League.People find the style of play in England the most enjoyable to watch as it is very fast paced and action packed.In the Premier league the players are a lot more direct then other leagues which means the players don't rely on possession to win matches and score goals,instead there is a lot of running at the opposition and a lot of long balls and crosses which in my opinion is a very effective method.In England the players are generally very big and tough which also adds a rougher edge to the style of football in England which a lot of people enjoy watching.In Spain the style of football is generally different to the style in England.A lot of Spanish teams in the liga BBVA use the style of tika taka which is "the style of play in football characterised by short passing and movement,working the ball through various channels and maintaining possession" which in my opinion is a very enjoyable style of play to watch but I think it is less effective then the direct route.A great example of a Spanish team that plays possession football is FC Barcelona.Possession football is effective as it tires your opponent down as they have a lot of running off the ball so cracks start to appear in their defence which the very best teams for example Barcelona can attack at ease.So to conclude this blog there is a couple of very effective styles of play that are very enjoyable to watch that we can clearly differentiate across the globe.Here are two videos showing the two different types of styles.Enjoy!
