Pluck, you see. Guts. British spunk, if you will.

He said they don't train it, which was probably a wise thing to say, under the circumstances. Anyway, it's probably not necessary if you're in charge at Barcelona; the officials do most of the ball-winning for you there, I think.
Remember Ronaldo saying that he preferred Spanish football because even the smaller teams tried to get the ball down and actually play football. Which I suppose is terrific if you happen to play for Real Madrid

If we don't beat City this weekend we may as well just pack the whole thing in and accept our lot.
