Different tactics

Been a long time since I watch a full football match at 2.30am. I saw one recently. The match between Man U and Ajax in the Europa league final. Played in Sweden of all places but never mind the venue. The match itself showed contrasting tactics by the different managers. Maurinho, with his expensive assembly of stars chose to sit back and play the long balls. In stark contrast, the Ajax youngsters, played the dribbling, passing, possession and territorial game. I thought it should have been the other way around. Anyway, what mattered was who won the game? Man U for sure.
