'English' football style no longer exists, says Spain coach Vicente del Bosque

Spain manager Vicente del Bosque says the "English" style of football no longer exists because of the number of foreign players in the Premier League.

There is no 'English' football any more, I don't think: no authentic English style," Del Bosque said. "Because of the mix of different styles, the arrival of players from abroad makes it impossible to maintain an 'English football.'
"I imagine there are still some idiosyncrasies at English clubs, teams that are very English, but on the pitch it's difficult to guess where teams are from.
"The purity of each [national] style has been lost. I don't think there's much difference between any countries. Maybe I'm missing something but even with the national side England has started to look like other sides on the continent."
