Actually Tito, pep replacement at Barca have a better record managing them. So, i believe it's not Pep the one who come with the tiki-taka instead it was the academy and chemistry between player. What's the point of having Pep in Chelsea when we don't have the same set of player in terms of quality like Barca
somehow i disagree.. Barcelona previously was not the same like today if no Pep.
he sold one of the best striker in europe, eto'o and one of the most influential player in the game Ronaldinho just bcuz he wants players that can fit into HIS SYSTEM (not saying they're not good..but eto'o & ronaldinho surely not the kind of players who can play in tiki taka and move around i think)
spain today is also thx to these Barca systems.. i can still clearly remember the euro 2008 winning team. it's just the usual 4-4-2 formation with villa + torres upfront while there were some problems to drop Fabregas last time because they need one DM which is Marcos Senna..
today..u can see the system is different. almost the same like barca + madrid with 2 DM (busquets + xabi- cant call them true DM..maybe deep lying playmaker..not so sure hehe)
but if u ask me with 20m per year contract, i would take special one in any day.. not necessarily the most beautiful game (like we demand from RDM + all these 80 mils signings) but definitely one of the most effective one in the league.
