The Sign of Champions

We're probably looking at a team who tactically are not obsessed with a heavy possession based style. Winning without playing well is the sign of champions, the sign of a good team. Psychologically, I'm not sure if we've ever really nail this down because who are we to really judge the psychological strength of players? A team that has excellent finishes inside the opposition penalty box and ideally very good shot stopping goalkeepers as well. And it cannot hurt to be a strong set piece team,. big old positive set piece goal difference for again, those situations where open play, the dominance hasn't quite been realized.
