Tiqui Taca, Taca Tiqui

What is Tiqui Taca?

Its the art of ball movement and control that contribute to goals from a unified team. This is "la tiqui, e la taca". The artful passing of the ball from feet to feet. A collective orchestra of players with precision placement of the ball.

This is a style of soccer credited to Johan Cruyff and molded by Pepe Guardiola. A style responsible for the success of Barcelona and Spanish soccer. A Dutch borne philosophy that was perfected and adopted by the Catalans.

Tiqui Taca is a style that requires time to perfect and team chemistry. An aging process of style and creativity that takes years and years to perfect. Like ballet. Like gymnastics. Tiqui taca is an art form that is slowly perfected through training, passion and time.

Whereas young players may win through physicality and athleticism, tiqui taca trained players mature into controlling the ball and game eventually dominating more physical teams. Only through training, endurance and repetition does the art of tiqui, taca, and TEAM become successful.
