Tiki-taka has its roots in the passing football of Johan Cruyff's Barcelona and Ajax teams of the 1980s and 1990s. Cruyff, a true pioneer of Total Football, introduced a dynamic philosophy where players seamlessly shifted positions and moved with grace on the pitch. In the early 1990s, he planted the seeds of Tiki taka at Barcelona, laying the foundation for a lasting footballing legacy. As Cruyff passed on the torch of leadership, Dutch managers Louis van Gaal and Frank Rijkaard embraced the appreciation for possession and space during their stints at the Catalan club. However, the zenith of Tiki-taka brilliance arrived with Barcelona's renowned La Masia academy, which nurtured footballing legends like Lionel Messi, Xavi, and Andres Iniesta. These exceptional talents embodied the very essence of Tiki-taka, a philosophy refined through La Masia's teachings, and later showcased their magical skills under the tactical genius of Pep Guardiola. However, unfortunately, not a lot of managers follow Tiki Taka these days. Why is it? Let's find out.
