Strikers play different games in Greece v Spain match

June 18th, 2008 •  Permalink  • Read comments

Two different nationalities, two different ways of playing the beautiful game, two sets of strikers. And two very different looking Castrol Index heat maps. But the same result as both players have scored - Charisteas getting the first of the game, and Guiza the last. Arguably Guiza is the lazier of the two, hanging around Luca Toni-like in the middle of the box waiting for the ball to come to him, while Charisteas has taken a leaf out of van Nistelrooy’s book and has been coming deeper to collect the ball. Two different styles, same result. Which is better? In the words of a famous Geordie who’s voice we hear every summer - you decide.
