That works when you’re Ajax and you dominate possession in every match and few sides are good enough to get the ball down the pitch against you and force corners and crosses.
No coincidence that the top possession sides in the PL also have big aerially dominant CBs.
We don’t play against Chelsea, city, and Liverpool every week though. So you expect if ten Hag wants to play the way how he expects him to play then it will be dominate possession against the other 16 teams. Thus, why we are targeting these type of players that are more suitable to play his system.
