Tiki - Taka, Barcelona!

Some youth academies worry about winning, we worry about education. You see a kid who lifts his head up, who plays the pass first time, pum, and you think, 'Yep, he'll do.' Bring him in, coach him. Our model was imposed by Johan Cruyff; it's an Ajax model. It's all about rondos [piggy in the middle]. Rondo, rondo, rondo. Every. Single. Day. It's the best exercise there is. You learn responsibility and not to lose the ball. If you lose the ball, you go in the middle. Pum-pum-pum-pum, always one touch. If you go in the middle, it's humiliating, the rest applaud and laugh at you.
Xavi Hernandez

Xavi'nin Telegraph'taki roportajinda soylediklerini destekleyen Barcelona antremanindan kisa bir goruntu. Barcelona'li futbolcular tiki-taka pas yeteneklerini ortada sican oynayarak mukemmellestirmekle mesguller.
