Would you still stick to tiki taka when your last major trophy 🏆 was euro 2012

And you’ve been humiliated for almost 14 years straight and you’ll stick to your old guns and not adapt to the times


You’ll end up as another finidi if you’re a coach just barely 3 match them don sack you

yinkeys:

Complete but I don’t think he was good with his head like cr7

TheGoodJoe:


Nothing like sticking to Tiki Taka. Guardiola and Enrique play different things. Just like Guardiola and Tito played different things.

What matters is the identity of dominating possession.

Fuente needs to fix that midfield.

TheGoodJoe:
It is not by abusing me.

TheGoodJoe:
Just found this on Twitter. I think he hammered the point well and also proposed a solution which I find interesting and I hope to see the approach in the next round.

TheGoodJoe:


Na wa.
Guardiola and Areta play heavy possession game. When Arsenal meets Manchester City most times, they sit back and allow Manchester City dominate possession. Does that mean Areta is not a heavy possessive coach?

Croatia dominating possession means the Croatian coach set them up better. It does not mean Spain no more plays heavy possession football.

Finito.

"Maybe in other times, having more of the ball guaranteed better results," he said. "Now, we are a team that can surprise opponents like we did today. We are satisfied; I think we did well. We used the ball with a lot of sense and were clinical in the final third. It shows that you don't have to have so much of the ball if you're a team like us, with pace." — De La Fuente

Odunayaw:



If na by heavy possession, Croatia would have carried a W

TheGoodJoe:


That was my first point. Not too thrilled with Fuente's approach because I felt with more choice selection, he can have a more controlling side. That is why I am interested to see Mikel Merino start and play the next game.

Odunayaw:

"Playing style has to do with player selection"

Fuente used almost 50 players before settling saw tikitaka won't work without Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets. But you are there ululating that SE should play tikitaka.

When we point out possession football does not mean tikitaka and tikitaka isn't everything, you don see am now.

Croatia that dominated Spain didn't tikitaka. Spain that dominated Italy didn't tikitaka.

TheGoodJoe:


I have to repeat myself over and over and over again.

I have said it is a process, never said it was a magic wand to win games. Guardiola did not win his first season which Manchester City and lost 4-0 to Leicester City. Look at us today.

It is not by one game.

Finito.

TheGoodJoe:


😂

I don't know where you people get all these ideas. There is a reason why I have hammered heavy possession football.

Na wa.

Odunayaw:
Why won't you repeat yourself when you are too afraid to admit truth.

Process? 🤣 De La Fuente has been coach since 2022 and he has been playing direct

TheGoodJoe:
I am the first person that has used variants and adaptation to Tiki Taka. I am the first person to use Taka.

Most of you guys never supported Spain.

You guys are running in circles.

Where the hell is your park bus game.

Na wa.

Odunayaw:
Why won't you repeat yourself when you are too afraid to admit truth.

Process? 🤣 De La Fuente has been coach since 2022 and he has been playing direct

TheGoodJoe:


You don't know what you are talking. Spain is one of the best passing teams in this competition. How the hell is that direct?

Explain to use when tidy build up play from the back became direct.

It is not by arguing.

TheGoodJoe:


Read the last paragraph and learn.

Odunayaw:
I know you almost close to tears when you go "it's not by this or that" 🤣

Spain was out passed by Croatia. Spain used speedy counterattacks not pass abouts

LEARN!

TheGoodJoe:


Stop trying to save face. You did not even know what you were arguing. Now he has jumped back to Croatia.

Odunayaw:
Cry.

"Bbbut Spain is one of the best passing teams"

Yet they were out passed, yet they used counter attacking football & crosses

TheGoodJoe:


Learn what. That is a response to one game. I have explained, that was just a cover. Spain know they can't go long being dominated in the midfield. It is not their way.

Spain play direct. Na wa.

Odunayaw:
One game one game, yet your bowels couldn't hold shit in when I mentioned "pragmatism" over blind loyalty

TheGoodJoe:


Director. 😂

BascoVanVeli:
Guys this Technical director isn't that the position Augustine Eguavoen was having?

Odunayaw:
It is not by emojis abi how you de take cover when you shit again
