Chelsea defender Alex says there's as much long-ball football in Holland than the Premier League in England!

The Dutch love talking about their superior, technical style of play over the English, but former PSV stopper Alex is having none of it.

He told chelseafc.com: "When I came to England I thought only Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United liked to play, all the other teams I thought would be long ball, but after some time I knew only two or three teams play like this and the rest of the teams like to play.

"In Holland it is the same as Stoke, and Bolton too, there are many teams who have tall forwards and put the ball in the air and play like this. They don't have the good quality like Stoke have also."
