I prefer a much more offense oriented style of play, with constant crosses and quick passing. The only other style that is similar to the Spaniards is the Dutch approach. Why do you favor the German style of play? Simply because of its success rate? Because the German style (and I am German myself, through my mother; and dearly love the country and culture) is not attractive. And IMO, if you cannot look good playing the beautiful game, then you have failed. This is why the Latin style of play is so much better, it is truly beautiful (Spain, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, etc etc) I would love for my favorite club to try to play beautiful football and eventually succeed. I can only pray that FC Bayern plays like Barca some day.

Omg....Seriously, I thought you were smarter than this my friend....German style similar to ITALIAN??? omg....I feel like its an insult towards every german football fan. Lemme explain somethin, Italian aint a style, its more tactical defensive savageness(imagine Gattuso) while the german is more disciplined, physical and more organised style of play, If you wanna know more look back at the Hitzfeld days and if you want to go even way back look at the Beckenbauer days with the NT, startin from the back, progressing forward, creating openings, crossing and phyiscally beating your opponent, a well disciplined mentality, motivation and a good teamwork atmosphere. Thats how I saw from Germany, good quality players playin good quality football from their own style, Germany won everythin from their style through the ages and thats how it should be, its like tradition. Its got nothin to do with its success rate, success will eventually come when the team is united and plays their upmost. Btw Tomas, Arsenal did infact win some trophies with their beautiful football, they had quality in their Bergkamp days and won their share, but Arsenal are more into youngsters than Bayern, thats how we beat them, Experience, quality and a well focused style of play. ST, I cant comment on the non european styles. But SERIOUSLY you cant say that Bayern are playin good football, the results are strained, it doesnt look natural, 2 years ago we were playin good football and won the domestic double again, sure we failed against Zenit, but they had a favourable edge in terms of fitness, but look back and then now and see the difference. Last thing, Filo. The coach decides the style of play on the players and all this holland shit doesnt make sense, Cruyff was a genius as a footballer. Im not sayin Van Gaal is an idiot for giving young players a chance to shine, far from it. But the play is not idealistic, well atleast for Bayern anyway. Van Gaal's victory came in 1994-1995 with a solid Ajax, Kluivert, Davids, De Boer (both of them), Overmars, Litmanen and Seedorf. After that, nothin. Rijkaard, had a Ronaldinho in his team.
