About this deal

Journalist Guy Hedgecoe from Iberosphere argued that tiki-taka is not entertaining any more due to the lack of pure strikers in the Spain national team and their use of a false "9" or a midfield player as a forward. As a result, Spain finished runners-up in their group behind Croatia, who managed to jump above Spain in the group, having been on four points prior to the game, setting Spain up for a rematch of their Euro 2012 final with Italy. Manager Angelo Niculescu adopted a style that is also considered a precursor of tiki-taka (the Romanian term was "temporizare", which translates to "delaying"). For Lowe, Spain's success in the 2010 World Cup was evidence of the meeting of two traditions in Spain's football: the "powerful, aggressive, direct" style that earned the silver medal-winning 1920 Antwerp Olympics team the nickname La Furia Roja ("The Red Fury"), and the tiki-taka style of the contemporary Spain team, which focused on a collective, short-passing, technical and possession-based game.

The lyrics "Booty explota como nagasaki" (Booty blows up like Nagasaki) was criticized by Japanese media for belittling the atomic bombing of Nagasaki and the experience of its survivors. Spain fared even worse in the 2014 World Cup one year later, as they lost to both the Netherlands and Chile and failed to progress beyond the group stage. Most people credit the late Spanish broadcaster Andres Montes with coming up with the phrase, its popularisation stemming from his TV commentary on LaSexta for the 2006 World Cup.The team is famous for transforming football – not so much because of the flair and eye-popping skills of top players like Lionel Messi, but because they have introduced a new style of play, which is all about starving the opposition of the ball. While as little as 20 years ago, most goalkeepers would kick the ball long from each goal kick and many English league center-backs would not be expected to regularly build up possession from the back, it's now standard practice for teams to want possession as much as possible, building gradually from goalkeeper all the way to attack. Studies like that conducted for Barcelona go well beyond the traditional totting up of how many shots were on target and for what proportion of the game each side had possession of the ball. The term ‘Tiki-Taka’ comes from the Maori word for kick, which symbolizes how quickly players contact one another.

Most people agree that this was said derogatively, capturing the view of many that tiki taka football can be tedious and sterile. Barcelona has won the UEFA Champions League five times, but they have been accused of not playing real soccer in recent years because their players pass back and forth to each other without shooting very often. On 15 March 2019, Ozuna performed the song in a medley alongside " Baila Baila Baila" on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. In a 2013 interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, Spain and Barcelona defender Gerard Piqué admitted that he felt that Barcelona had become predictable in the way they played as a result of being overly dependent on tiki-taka, stating: "We played the last few years with homegrown coaches, first Pep and then Tito, and maybe we ended up exasperating our style of play to the extent that we found ourselves slaves to that system, that style. Although they could play out from the back, most of their attacks started from the midfield as their high defensive line kept their opponents penned in and meant that they usually controlled the lion's share of possession even in their opponent's half.Different systems are implemented for different purposes, but most successful teams will have a clear formula for how they want to approach matches. All of them had the talent to pull off intricate passages of play and keep the ball wherever they were on the pitch. Thank you for reading our articles - we hope you've enjoyed them and are having fun playing, coaching, and watching soccer. To assess the impact of tiki taka across the globe, you only have to take a look at the playing style of the average Premier League side 20 years ago compared with today.
