The pressing game (1 Viewer)

If you are England it may well be but it won't make up for what other International teams are doing, particularly control and one & two touch.

I think football moves in paradigms and is obviously a progressive sport which is continually innovating tactically. In 2005-2009, the power and pace of the Premier League and English football was dominant and players like Gerrard and Essien were considered some of the best in the world. The dominance was also reflected in European Success.
However Barcelona began to blow sides (inc English) away with their 'tiki taka', pressing football. Intelligent passers like Xavi, Alonso and to some extent Scholes became more appreciated for their extraordinary ability. To my mind Barcelona are no worse now than they were 5 years ago, but they are no longer untouchable, as teams have altered their tactics (Chelsea, Inter, Celtic, Milan) and a new, innovative style has overtaken.
Bayern have clearly set the standard for modern football. It combines the best elements of both the aforementioned styles, as possession, skill and power meet in a side that look unbeatable. I imagine they will be the best side in the world for a couple of years, before another great side which has more astute tactics redevelop the way the game is played once more.

Walsall play a mix of the pressing game, and tika taka, commonly known as the best footballing side North of Catalan (or is Matalan), as you will find out tomorrow.
