3. The Spanish Style

Johan Cruyff
Johan Cruyff: the pioneer of tiki-taka

Tiki-taka is a Spanish style of play in football characterized by short passing and movement, working the ball through various channels, and maintaining possession. The style is primarily associated with La Liga club Barcelona, especially during the era of manager Pep Guardiola. Its development and influence goes back to Johan Cruyff. Tiki-taka moves away from the traditional thinking of formations in football to a concept derived from zonal play.

This style of football is highly offensive which makes it fun to watch for the fans. However, Real Madrid was not known to play with such an expansive style. But with the players that Los Blancos have in their squad, it won't take much time for the squad to adapt to this playing style seamlessly. It is safe to say that the transition won't take a lot of time.
