Excellent read.
Despite what the media and other clubs think of our style , the coaching staff worked hard to maintain the level of consistency we showed over 46 games ! Yes , we would all love to see beautiful flowing football but as Athetico Madrid proved again last night there is more than one way to play football and I guess they are a good template for us regarding their defensive qualities and work rate although obviously at a higher standard but I believe we base our game on the same principles .
