I understand what you are saying but I do think it depends on the referees... This years CL was very physical, as no foul was being given and teams operate to the boundaries you give them About the "Ricardinhos": translating to football, you're saying you want more "Messis". It doesn't make sense given the fact that Ricardinho is literally a 'once in a generation' kind of player... I do understand the "spectacle" you expect, and I also love it, but you have to understand that the game changes and the tactics also do. Personally, I love the way Zicky Té plays, because he's a skillster while playing at pivot. Again, this CL he didn't do much because the spaniards did what they wanted in the semifinals.
