After many years I always come back to watch replays of this team. Even as a kid I could understand that this would be the greatest team ever to exist. A team like this will never exist again
Con Guardiola el barca explotó a lo máximo el tiki taka, porque después con Vilanova si bien se intento lo mismo ya se empezó con los excesivos pases intrascendents lentos, que no podían penetrar las defensas rivales de 10 jugadores.
El juego de este barca era un espectáculo, esa secuencia de pases esa capacidad de filtrar los pases entre defensas que en la mayoría de los casos eran de 10; sin contar el control el dominio que tenían del balón durante el 90 por ciento de los partidos, a pesar de los intentos de presionar su salida del balón, pero tarde o temprano el barca terminaba teniendo el dominio absoluto del juego. Ni que decir de la presión asfixiante sobre el rival, durante gran parte del partido. La obligación de todos los jugadores de buscar recuperar el balón. Aunque pienso que la lesión de Villa perjudicó en gran medida al ataque del barca, viendo que si bien Messi tuvo números monstruosos, en los partidos trascendentales por la liga y la champions messi no marcó, por lo que si él no lo hacía nadie más; en cambio con villa si se tenía otro referente en ataque que si sabia meter goles en partidos importantes, hecho que quedo demostrado en la temporada 2010/11, en la que el barca lo gano casi todo.
Peace be upon you, your brother from Morocco. I want to say that there are advanced football periods that Europe has witnessed at the level of national teams and teams through work, training, academies, coaches, players, training and talent. I will give you stories about Spain, which has developed football in recent years. The Catalan derby between Real Madrid and Barcelona is considered one of the most beautiful derbies in The world may remember some of the legends who came to Spain and changed a lot in the world of football, and here we mention the Dutch legend Johan Krief, who noticed that playing in Europe needed development and noted that plans must be introduced that make the game more moving, enjoyable and entertaining, and this was actually done through the tiki-taka technique, which It depends on rotating the ball quickly and pivotally around the center of the field in length and breadth through skilled and self-confident players. This technique pleases the team and its fans and angers and destroys the opposing team. As we have noted, tiki-taka succeeded with the generation of Messi, Ronaldinho, Iniesta, Xavi, Bosquet, Abidal, David Villa, Daniel Alves, Neymar, Suarez and Alba. ...and Barcelona was actually able to win titles and Spain was able to win the World Cup, and this is what the fans around the world have missed today, searching for plans and skilled players who master the art of football
Injuries and illness are the only reason this team didn't win everything again that season. With Villa no way they don't score more vs Chelsea, and with Abidal they would have kept things tighter in those crunch games towards the end of the season that cost the league.
Early 2010s was the time when pressing was not used as commonly as today. Current pressing methods would probably make it difficult for this FCB to make so much control on the ball
