Hi guys, welcome back to my channel
March 8th was my channel first birthday and for this reason I decided to recreate Pep Guardiola's historical tactics, from his first Barcelona tikitaka (2008-2009 season) till his current Manchester City tactics.
In this video, I will introduce to you his first tactic, the first tikitaka he used at Barcelona in season 2008-2009, when Barcelona forwards were Messi on the right, Henry on the left and Eto'o on the center.
In this series about Guardiola's tactics I will not cover the following season 2009-2010 when Ibrahimovic joined Barcelona and struggled a lot to play with Messi because both of them wanted to play in a central area, Ibra wanted to drop deep to link the play and he never accepted to swap position with Messi and move to the right flank, something that only Eto accepted to do and did very well.
Tiki-taka, the possession-based strategy synonymous with Guardiola's Barcelona, revolutionized football.
It emerged under Guardiola, but drew inspiration from Rinus Michels' Total Football.
While ball retention was key, Tiki-Taka emphasized exploiting space through intelligent passing and movement. This overwhelmed opponents, tiring them out and forcing mistakes.
Tiki-Taka thrived on players with exceptional technical skills, vision, and anticipation. It challenged the dominance of physical play.
More than just short passes, Tiki-Taka involved creating space through triangles and diamonds for effective passing options.
Guardiola emphasized player positioning and regaining possession high up the pitch. This included a high defensive line and pressing strategy.
Short passing aimed to break down opponents and create space for attackers. Positional play with specific roles for players was crucial.
Training drills instilled "habit football," where players instinctively made decisions based on positioning and movements.
Overall, Tiki-Taka was a tactical philosophy that prioritized controlling the game through superior positioning and intelligent use of space. It relied heavily on technical skills, teamwork, and tactical awareness.
