Germany was a rival to Spains dominant era, but they always lost. Germanys high press style didnt really come about until about 2013. I think 2014 Germany was much different than 2010 in terms of style. I feel like theyd give trouble to spain, and their counters would be a handful .
Germans won’t win - Yes they were more ruthless but Spain was lot more dominating in controlling things. That Spain team wasn’t just the midfield -Puyol, Pique and Ramos were no slouch and David Villa is a better striker than any Germany had. Not to mention the Spain bench was much better - they had fabregas, silva, mata, torres, pedro, cazrola lol
I am also not sure about which team would take it here, Spain was very dominant at that time. But to say David Villa was a better striker than Klose or Müller is a big stretch. Villa was good, yes, but he benifitted greatly from the midfield bossing possession and picking apart the defenses. If you have Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets AND Xabi Alonso behind you, I think even I could score goals there.
Yes, but to reduce David Villa to that is an insult considering he scored the second most goals in a decade between 2000-2010 in La liga while actively playing few years into the decade and playing for Zaragoza and Valencia. He was only behind Eto by 14 goals despite playing 3 seasons lesser. He also won trophies with teams outside Barca and Madrid including multiple copa del rey and a league with Athletico where he literally scored the league winner in Camp Nou. I can say with utmost certainity hes a better goal scorer and striker than Klose and Muller who both have only about 60% of career goals as Villa despite playing in superior teams.
