Yes. The point of modern system football is How To Win Games If You Do Not Happen To Have A Superstar Goalscoring Striker To Do It For You; the system ITSELF becomes your match-winner. All the Gegenpressings, False Nines and fanny-dancings around the penalty area are not bugs, they are features.

Of course, nobody sees this because, most unsportingly, in my view, the best exponent of it always just happens to actually have a superstar goalscoring striker available to him. He's not silly.
