Is Tiki-taka the best tactic ever?

I was very critical of this formation at first, I must admit...my disdain toward's Guardiola blinded my judgement. :eekani::eekani::eekani:
Dags misses this formation, it was truly eye candy :proud:.
Tiki Taka is the only tactic that allows multiple legends come together.

It's such a simple formation based on ball possession.

Quote:

Tactically, Barca (2009) generally stuck to a 4-3-3 shape throughout the season, playing high up the pitch and pressing from the front. Henry stayed wide on the left, with Messi having more license to come in off the right wing, knowing that the energetic Dani Alves would be providing width. In midfield, Iniesta played furthest forward, Xavi was the calm, methodical ‘link’, whilst Yaya Toure sat deep infront of the centre-backs.

Let's look at these names again:

Valdes (GK)

D. Alves (RWB/RB)
Puyol (CB)
Pique (CB/SW)
Abidal (LB)

Toure (DM/BTB)
Xavi (CM)
Iniesta (AM)

Messi (FW/SS)
Etoo (ST)
Henry (FW/SS)

No box to box midfielders…
A #8 (CM) + A # 10 (AM) in midfield :eek:
No wingers but one of the FWs needs to be capable of playing on a flank (e.g. CRUYFF, RONALDINHO, MESSI, etc).
This formation looks unbalanced to the naked eye, so how does it work?
Again, it all comes down to ball possession and superb ball movement.

Tiki-Taka is probably the only tactic that will allow us, football lovers, field the team of our dreams!


And here it is!

The same format, but only 100x better :proud:
Thank you Guardiola for bringing sexy back :proud:!!!
