Exercise 2.2 - Solution

The Danubian style is the short-passing, technical way of playing that developed in Vienna, Budapest and Prague in the early twentieth century, in contrast with the British emphasis on long balls, physical challenges and individual running. Scottish coaches (the "Scotch professors") and English coaches such as Jimmy Hogan contributed to it.

The chapter calls it a tendency rather than a fixed school because historians disagree about how unified it was and about how much came from Scotland rather than England, so treating it as one rigid system would claim more than the evidence supports.
