It was a kind of possession football but possession so they could move the ball at their preferred pace (lightening fast) and frighten the opposition which they succeeded in doing, and in spades. Totally wonderful but significant energy given to the press which won back possession and generally quite high up the pitch. Fit, fast, skillful, and outstandingly marshalled by probably the outstanding coach of the moment who managed to change the culture, ditch the prima donnas, and take a quantum jump forward. Fabulous.

My grandad always used to bang on about a famous Brazil coach (i can't remember the name) who said that he never coached his team on what to do with the ball. He expected them to know what to do with it better than him. He instead focussed on telling them what to do when they didn't have the ball.

I think there's something in that.
