The best thing about Ancelotti is his versatility. Without a good striker and with a lot of injuries at Real Madrid this season, he was able to change their playstyle and adapt and still do well in la liga and get all wins in the UCL group stage.

@joshuajerome553 6 ай бұрын

That’s the problem with tiki taka if you just keep on playing 1-2 touch passes you will end up getting stuck that’s why you need a dribbler or a target man/false 9 to hold on to the ball a little longer so your team mates can enter the pockets of space and shift the opponents defence (like Messi at Barca or Grealish at Man city)

I'm more interested on his longevity, playing the same dribbling technique like he thought he is 24 even to this day. Messi, Ronaldo, Modric, etc longevity are so astonishing. Even Ronaldo, who Pessi fans always joked by being "tapinaldo" can still dribble decently

Honestly, Man United needs to get fullbacks who can invert. Their biggest problem is a leaky backline in counter attacks, and as long as they have overloading fullbacks, they’ll always leak goals.

I loved watching tiki taka get demolished by Mourinho’s Madrid in 2011-2012, a phenomenal achievement bearing in mind that was probably the best club side the world ever saw or close too. For Ronaldo and Madrid to actually wrestle la liga off them and beat them 11 v 11 in the camp now was great to see, because with Barca and Spain dominating football, you just couldn’t see how they weren’t going to win everything every year. Messi score 90 or so goals in a calendar year around that time. Jose also dismantled them with Inter Milan too. Rough them up, soak them up and blitz them on the counter. The fact Jose’s sides held such esteemed victories against them was a magnificent feat.

Most people think tiki taka is just possession football. Anyone can make short simple passes but possession football and tiki taka are two diff beasts. TT requires players to understand how to position themselves off the ball, when to run into space, anticipating teammates and opponents, requires players to pass with purpose. Exploit space around opponent. Whereas possession football is more defensive, just pass around and run down clock and not allow opponent to touch ball.

@KRuStyKxng That's incorrect. All the top Spanish clubs played a version of it as well as the national team. Playing the ball from the back with the goalkeeper was the by product of the system that lead to most (but not all!) GKs playing the ball with their feet instead of throwing it or punting it down field.

Zidane's pass to Ronaldo is more effective..... Well it's true but the Tiki taka's main aim is to keep the ball away from the opponents not Scoring goals. You only score goals when the opponent defence gets sloppy.

Pep Guardiola: "Be yourselves. You need to dig into your own DNA. I hate tiki-taka. Tiki-taka means passing the ball for the sake of it, with no clear intention. And it's pointless. Don't believe what people say. Barca didn't do tiki-taka! It's completely made up! Don't believe a word of it! In all team sports, the secret is to overload one side of the pitch so that the opponent must tilt its own defence to cope. You overload on one side and draw them in so that they leave the other side weak. And when we've done all that, we attack and score from the other side. That's why you have to pass the ball, but only if you're doing it with a clear intention. It's only to overload the opponent, to draw them in and then to hit them with the sucker punch. That's what our game needs to be. Nothing to do with tiki-taka."

Not even cruyff could make players do this. But he gave the means and knowledge to pep so he could. Tiki taka was a golden period but barca dont intend to do it . Barca base style is positional play,not tiki taka.
