[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From Pep

"I loathe all that passing for the sake of it, all that tiki-taka. It's so much rubbish and has no purpose." He emphasizes that passing should always have a clear purpose, aiming to create scoring opportunities, rather than just maintaining possession.

Guardiola's approach is not about mindless passing, but rather about creating an attack by overloading one side of the field, drawing the opposition in, and then attacking from the other side. He believes that the team should have a clear vision and a plan for how to exploit weaknesses in the opponent's defense"[/quote]

Yawn. Teams always have a purpose. You as a viewer may not like the purpose. A team can maintain possession to shorten a game or denying the other team from developing a rhythm. The boring soccer is a team loading the box and look for one or two counter attacks for the whole game. If you load the box against a direct team they will pass the ball a lot(though not well) because the defending team will not challenge till the final third. They are lost if they can not play direct.

I have seem many direct teams with no purpose. Fullback gets a ball with no pressure and kicks it long to no one. The whole game is long balls to no one.
