The Evolution Of Tiki Taka? Germany have taken the tiki-taka passing game so intrinsically used by Spain to another level at the World Cup in Brazil, by adding ruthless efficiency to the possession philosophy. Spain beat Germany at two major tournaments and coach Joachim Loew was so impressed by the Spanish game that he has taken over many aspects and, of course, added some of his own flourishes. It may help that six of Germanys field players come from Bayern Munich, who have been coached by Pep Guardiola for one season. Guardiola was the mastermind of tiki-taka and won 14 titles in four seasons in charge of Barcelona, including two Champions League crowns. Barcelona inspired Spains game that brought two European championships and a World Cup title. Loew Also Adopted the Notion of a False Nine, an Idea he also borrowed from Spain, by not fielding a True Number 9 in Thomas Muller, but anytime he had difficulty with the Approach Earlier in the Tournament he never hesitated to Revert back to Using Miroslav Klose. Germanys Talented Midfielders Rotate Positions constantly and are also on the Move, of which any is capable of scoring goals unlike the Spanish team where goal scoring is narrowed down to few channels. Germany Loves Possession, Just as Spain Did, Loews team Avoid Endless Wide Passing and Prefers to Push forward at every occasion. When Germay win the Ball in their half they try to get bodies forward as quickly as possible hoping to outnumber the Opposing Defence and this leads to a lot of chances created and plenty goals.
