From a progressive and attacking team to a Spanish style bore machine, tapping it around aimlessly, sideways, backwards, at 1 mph, like most of the terrible teams in this competition. The new football. I'll agree, like the rest of them, his life is way too easy. But that goes for every modern footballer. Paid the earth and they can't even be bothered to run.
