Cesc Fabregas for Spain when beat Italy 4-0 was it Snoots.
But they didn't have a number nine worth a light .... or it was Torres on a bad run.
If your entire country is full of number nines it is even more weird than the idea of a false number nine itself. I don't see how it works, though it has. I reckon selecting three quick defenders and pushing up to the halfway line destroys the false centre forward unless they've got Adam Gemili on the wing.
The last bloke I'd choose as a false nine is one the best players in the world.
