Is Tiki Taka the Answer?

Tiki-Taka.

Originally meant to describe meaningless passing, the term has evolved into something greater today - a philosophy; a radical idea that took the world by storm, and left everything in it's path to the dust.

Born from the simple seeds of total-football, tiki-taka was revolutioned by Pep Guardiola and his vision of playing one-touch football at Barça; a vision where the ball was precious. The players would strive for the ball, and when they didn't have it, they would methodically press the opposition like a pack of wolves, before regaining it. The passing was crisp with short triangles, and each pass was a lesson in how to caress the ball, and make it do your bidding.
