What England is trying to imitate is a style Spain have already mastered! Sample these statistics of the FIFA U-17 World Cup finalists: Spain passed the ball 3,520 times in their six matches while England managed to do it 3,017 times. On an average, Spain had 62.1 per cent of ball possession, which is slightly better than that of England's 58.5.
