Defensively we weren't caught on the counter so often back then despite having supposedly less cover for the defence. This is partly due to the discipline of players like Seedorf and partly because of our strong pressing game, where essentially we simply didn't give opponents the chance to counter.

Yeah that's very true. Ahh, miss the good old days. We were a much more dynamic team then weren't we? I still remember Seedorf owning the left side of midfield, Sheva running the channels, Pippo holding back the defensive line, and Pirlo and Rui Costa with those sublime passes.
We have slowed down substantially these days. No more pressing, no more movement off the ball. Now it's just pass and jog
