Lets be clear... Pep: I loathe all that passing for the sake of it, all that tiki-taka. Its so much rubbish and has no purpose. You have to pass the ball with a clear intention, with the aim of making it into the oppositions goal. Its not about passing for the sake of it. In a meeting with his players the next day, he added: You need to dig into your own DNA. I hate tiki-taka. Tiki-taka means passing the ball for the sake of it, with no clear intention. And its pointless. Barca didnt do tiki-taka. Its completely made up. Dont believe a word of it. In all team sports, the secret is to overload one side of the pitch so that the opponent must tilt its own defence to cope. You overload on one side and draw them in so that they leave the other side weak. And when weve done all that, we attack and score from the other side. Thats why you have to pass the ball, but only if youre doing it with a clear intention. Its only to overload the opponent, to draw them in and then to hit them with the sucker punch. Thats what our game needs to be. Nothing to do with tiki-taka.
