Germany was playing Louis van Löw (van Gaal style with Löw touch) in World Cup 2010. That has changed a little as the teams sit more and more back against them. But it is still less control and more offense than e.g. Spain.
I took the data of all club competitions of Reus, Müller, Özil and Götze - if we play with a false 9 - and the data of Fabregas, Iniesta, Pedro, Silva and Costa to show some spanish constellations - just to show this. Özil was a lot more productive in the recent years - and for Germany - but Reus with his boom in April and May has probably equalised that.
Reus, Müller, Özil, Götze
70 goals, 65 assists, 12747 minutes
182 minutes per goal, 196 minutes per assist (broken down on one player)
1.98 goals per match, 1.84 assists per match (the 4 players together)
Fabregas, Iniesta, Pedro, Silva
43 goals, 63 assists, 13553 minutes
315 minutes per goal, 215 minutes per assist (broken down on one player)
1,14 goals per match, 1,67 assists per match (the 4 players together)
Fabregas, Iniesta, Pedro, Costa
70 goals, 54 assists, 14648 minutes
209 minutes per goal, 271 minutes per assist (broken down on one player)
1,72 goals per match, 1,33 assists per match (the 4 players together)
Fabregas, Pedro, Costa, Silva
75 goals, 57 assists, 14068 minutes
188 minutes per goal, 261 per assist (broken down on one player)
1,91 goals per match, 1,38 assists per match (the 4 players together)
You really see the difference if you take Fabregas as a false 9. But even with a forward in the form of Costa the German option still seems to be more dangerous.
