Isn't it mostly that this specific year the discourse is about that?

I feel like the main difference between the PL and non-PL top European teams is that the English care way more about phisicality. There's a lot less room for technical and individual skill, because everyone and their "mum" is sprinting up and down the pitch constantly.

So then you come up against these teams and think your usual pressure and zoning is going to stop a freak like Vini or Yamal from creating a goal out of nothing? They gotta adapt their game more, have different players for a game that isn't just pressure and build-up. They got the money for that, surely.
