There’s a big difference between playing football, which the English do pretty well, and playing Total Football, which the English don’t get at all, but the Dutch perfected if not invented out right .... and since Cruyff arrived in Barcelona the Spanish have tried to emulate with reasonable success.
I will also point out that Cardiff is much too close to England to know the difference.
This is one reason why we, the best club in Wales, should never ever hire an English manager.
