The Inherent Characteristics of a Good Team

A good team can win without playing well, says Michael Essien. The old cliche of either losses into draws or draws into wins is being used more and more in the Premier League. Spain are a great example of this because they've gone out without reaching the final of the last two major tournaments. But I think there's a broader discussion really about what playing well is,. quote unquote, and that we've got to this centralized idea in the English game where it's now about having organized possession football.
