I know how to Beat Barca

To beat Barca, we must first understand what makes them special. Only once we crack this, we can move on to the next level and prepare for the ultimate plan to crush their pride in attack and defense. I believe I have found it, the reason behind their so called invincibility.

Barca players outrun all the other teams' players. How is that possible you say? ........... Barca is built as one unity. Everyone participates in the attack and is involved in defense. Keep in mind that while all this's happening, the ball doesnt stay long with one player. They keep passing it from one to another, from one side to another. This way their players won’t get tired quickly and at the same time the other team’s players slowly but surely wear out. That's a trick that Barca implements instinctively without even knowing.

Take for example a group of players who keep passing the ball while attacking another group of players. They will stay in a warmed up condition whereas the other group of players will keep trying to trail the ball until they're exausted and out of rhythm.

This might not register in your brains at first, but this is a very important strategy that Barca adopts consciously or subconsciously. 70% ball possession, rotating the ball from one player to another, the defenders participating in creating a chance, all this contributes in keeping Barca players in a ready and warmed up state. This tiki taka and high percentage of ball possession in addition to the participation of every team member drains the opponent’s energy. This is where all is lost for the other teams. It's a very successful strategy to implement.

99% of the people are amazed by Barca's athletic display. I hear it all the time: "It's unbelievable, how can they still run after all what they’ve done? Theyve been running nonstop". Truth is barca players dont keep the ball with them for more than a few seconds, they play as one unit and it's actually the opposite, they're saving their energy to display at the right moment. In actuality, it is the other teams who are exerting all the effort and sweat.

Yup, that basically nails it, in my opinion.

How do you beat barca then?

I know how to beat Barca..................score more goals than them .

In fact I know 2 ways. The second way is too concede less goals . I know I am a genius.

you have a point there, barcelona are an engine that will eat u up if not careful. united got it up the ass for playing the way they did.

thats why in the copa del rey final you could see we were fatifgued in the 2nd half, but through time we will find a way to crack their mid and counter them.

we will become more dangerous than them/

by scoring more goaols and conceding less


durrrhhh

I know what's so special about Barca. Apart from their individual quality, they play the most efficient style of football in the world, and maybe in the history of the sport. How do you beat them? Play them on an off day, rely on individual magic, or figure out a playing style that can counter possession football.

I'm afraid UEFA has a lot to do with this subject

easy, field the team of copa del rey final.

i wanted to reply at your thread at general section "i know how to stop messi" before it gets closed huntsman...

i´m pretty sure mourinho "knows" how to stop messi or barcelona

but this must be obvious that the problem is only "to do it" and "do i have the players for that"?

Madrid really didn't beat Barcelona convincingly enough that it was down to team selection and tactics.

A minute's silence. A great thread has been put down in the general section indeed. The best there is at the moment.

I think Messi can be stopped the same way i described it. As for the players who can do it, Altintop can do it, and will do it.

Madrid didnt have the confidence to do it easily and convincingly, they have both now.

Do you really think you know more about defending than Vidic or Manchester United or Real Madrid or any of the teams that Messi has faced and has been unable to be stopped by?

Well i guess you already know hehe.

real madrid has the players, and a bit of experience, we still need time under our belt, but considering how good we did in our first season, i would consider it failure not to do big things next season.

As soon as I saw the name of this thread and the name Huntsman beside it, I knew this thread would be a joke!!!

Huntsman, what you are saying is common knowledge. Didn't you hear Cruff during the year when Mou was complaining his players were tired, Cruff said it's because your players run all the way back before trying to stop the opposition.

What your comments don't say is what skill levels are necessary to play the tiki tacky as well as the instant on them team defense. Nor does it say how to beat them. To beat them you either have to take them off their game, as Mou did with the defensive tactics or you have to take over control of MF with quick team defense and slick passing.

Mr. Daniels, seeing as you are set up as admin and that this is a Huntsman topic, can you advise us if there is an IGNORE option with this forum?
