He said in his day Don Alfredo Di Stéfano's phrase that is not forgotten with the passage of time: the now famous “and we play like never lost as ever”. That so it distinguished that referred to a new display of touch football that did not match with the score. Nowadays, There are many teams in La Liga who have opted for the tiki-taka style of play as and when the shot is coming to them by the butt.

While it is true that it is appreciated that many teams, especially the most modest, try to find the goal counteracts unabashedly, but we should ask to what extent should they play well.

Lightning is arguably the most obsessed together with the idea of taking the ball played from their own area. The result: 24 goals against children because of delivery failures and only 7 in favor.
