The term La Furia was left out by Luis Aragonés on his first days at the national team. He replaced by La Roja (the red one). The despective term tikitaka (not a Basque word) was adopted in a possitive way by a tv narrator famous for his flamboyant expressions and nicknames. His name was Andrés Montes he died ten years ago. David Villa arrived at Barça very old after playing for Sporting de Gijón, Zaragoza and Valencia. He never stayed at La Masía

I've loved Tiki Taka since I saw Guardiola's Barca tear Mourinho's Madrid side 5-0 about a decade ago. When I coach junior teams I encourage rotation and ball retention because I've always believed possession based play breeds football intelligence. Question: why do you think the 4-3-3 formation is the dominant formation when it comes to tiki taka? Is it simply because its optimal in terms of player positioning or is it more to do with the ability to spread play and make the pitch as wide as possible without committing midfield players (Man City for example)? P.S I always found gegenpressing to be sexy
@vainokautto99344 жыл бұрын
I think it's 433s natural positioning (triangles). For examble cb has naturally 3 or 4 diagonal short passing options. Also it is easy to overload center areas of the pitch (3 midfielders, false 9?, inverted fullbacks or wingers etc.)

Scott White Barcelona’s possession football is defensive and focused on ball retention. Real Madrid played better possession football with the midfield of Modric, Kroos, Isco and Casemiro. Real Madrid played possession football before mourinho. Jose mourinho made real play counter attacking football but then ancelotti made real revert back to possession football when he became coach.

To me, tiki taka is always about controlling the opposite team while also being able to rest. Players like Xavi or Iniesta are thankful for these because they can pass quite a bit of time without running and exploding only, using more their brain then speed to press or push forward if needed. The lack of physical players as mentioned is also a factor, specially at the front 3. Pedro, Messi and etc... Not built to battle it out physically. A difficult but ""safe" strategy to be able to dominate possession and mitigate how many times you have to press.

Listening to this it seems clear that one of the reasons why the rivalry between Liverpool and Man City over the past few years has been so goos is not just the quality of play by both teams, but also the contrasting approaches and philosophies used by Koop and Pep. Could you do something about historic rivalries and their underlying approaches to play employed. For instance, are these rivalries more exciting when teams use contrasting approaches? How does a rivalry feel different when two teams are attempting to pursue a much more similar style of play?

I think an effective analogy to football is Boxing at times, and Tiki-taka to Floyd Mayweather. Very technical, one of the best to ever do it, very controlling likes to hit and not get hit, but very susceptible to being boring. You can't deny how good and how effective it is but it's not always fun to watch a team roll their shoulder and jab and move for 12 rounds. Teams like Liverpool play like they're in the heavyweight division, you throw bombs and risk getting nuked.

On the topic of Tiki-taka being a pure form of football, it actually encourages more fouling from the team playing it. Both Barcelona and Manchester City are fairly infamous for their tactical fouling. They not only stop a whole attack in its tracks, but since it is done in a fairly precise and gentle manner, they also rarely get booked for it. You can often see Busquets and Fernandinho going straight for the foul with no intention to win/play the ball. They usually make use of their hands to make sure the plr stops and do not hurt him. Yet, that is a fairly cynical form of play - they are essentially using the rulebook to stop attacks, not their sporting abilities.

Yet when it happens to Pep , some people just turn into Pep hating a certain player, Pep wanting to be the main man of the team (isn’t Mourinho praised for being the main protagonist in the team, because it takes pressure off players 😅?).

Italy won the world cup playing defensively? In 2006? They had Zambrotta and Grosso bombing up the wings from full back, two playmakers in Pirlo and Totti, then two attacking midfielders in Perotta and Camoranesi. It's down to subjective judgement but I'd describe them as one of the more attacking world cup winners of recent tournaments. France in 2018 had 4 centre backs across their back line, Matuidi as a defensive left midfielder and Pogba only occasionally joining attacks. I'd go for them as a better example.

I am spoiled football fan . Growing up watching that Spain and Barcelona team. I've become so biased towards positional play and couldn't enjoy football more often like I used to do in those days and I am not likely impressed by teams. ( I feel I'm missing something that my friend's don't watching football) But I have to admit lately Manchester City and Liverpool have been brilliant and pretty impressive. I like Klopp's side (despite that Anfeild disaster) which has come as a bit shock for me. With someone like Coutiniho(pre 2018) /Havertz /Thiago / kovacic in midfield for Liverpool it would be more fun to watch. For City someone like Grimaldo/Alaba/Chilwell at LB and ball playing defender like Skriniar / Upamecano they'd return back to their old form.

Tiki Taka and Positional Play are two different things. Tiki Taka was a time wasting strategy to defend by keeping the ball because the other team can't score if they don't have the ball. Positional Play is a strategy to overload certain zones, gain advantage and move the opposition in order to create space and openings to score.

Thanks for a really enjoyable and informative offering. I think that Tiki-Taka is a very niche style of play and requires a brilliant squad of technicians plus a couple of elite players sprinkled in the MF and Forward lines with a bold, equally brilliant coach on the sidelines. I think as the seasons went on under Pep at Barca they shifted focus more to possession as a way to compensate for structural weaknesses... Now I don't think Tiki-Taka will fare as well as it did in that period between 08-12 as was pointed out, now we see more teams employ the tactical anthetisis with several notable instances of success against Barca just outside of that peak period of Tiki-Taka. I think Barca has to evolve and embrace certain tweaks similar to what we see at City as the English club under Pep is still possession focused yet have more strings to their bow and actually embrace some direct elements. Once again, thanks for a quality episode.

Very fun podcast, I've been really enjoying it the past couple of weeks. Thank you. A request; "What's going on at Newcastle United?" I don't refer to the trite, oft-regurgitated hyperbole of 50,000 passionate Geordies and all that lark (all football fans are created equal). Just an objective, in-depth, and typically-TIFO discussion of the club's current status in the game. Help expose what a scumbag the owner is by just using facts regarding the club's debts, the SD advertising, the sale of club-owned land, the status of the club BEFORE he decided to sink his parasitic fangs (or whatever leeches have) in to the club, the relentless barrage of lies and biased, discourteous main stream media "interviews". You wouldn't even need to use highlighting his many downfalls as a human being as the main topic of the video, it'd simply become apparent. In a piece discussing the financial state of the game and the motives of football club owners, Football finance expert Kieran Maguire stated “If Mike Ashley, for example, offered £2bn for the club I supported, I’d be soiling myself". And the less said about his treatment of Sports Direct staff the better. His recent actions should serve as incentive enough to want to expose this wretched, greedy, malevolent bully. And now that your audience is up (I assume) it would offer a perfect opportunity to do so. Peace and love. Stay safe and all that sort of thing x

As a Newcastle supporter one of the interesting things to me is that he knows he's hated and despised, he has no interest in achieving anything substantial with the club and appears to want to wash his hands of it entirely. Yet, any serious offer in the last 5 years has been rejected for reasons that are never apparent. Even with his insistence that the selling price has to include the money he has loaned to the club he 'only' appears to want 350 million or so for it, which is peanuts to be honest in todays game - yet it always breaks down, strange.

It is not unfair, tiki-taka is best, most pure form of football. Yes there are other ways to play football, all of them valid of course. But they are more corrupted ways to play. And it had absolutely nothing to do with its name, come on be serious guys :). In many ways having watched so much of Xavi and Iniesta, so much Spain and Barsa of the time, it has ruined football for me a bit. Anything Ive watched since has been a poor substitute for that football. Btw that was the real tiki-taka, any other current versions are just something else. Great channel though! Keep up the fantastic job you are doing :)
