From Wikipedia
"Tiki-taka has been variously described as "a style of play based on making your way to the back of the net through short passing and movement", a "short passing style in which the ball is worked carefully through various channels," and a "nonsensical phrase that has come to mean short passing, patience and possession above all else".The style involves roaming movement and positional interchange amongst midfielders, moving the ball in intricate patterns, and sharp, one or two-touch passing.Tiki-taka is "both defensive and offensive in equal measure*"– the team is always in possession, so doesn't need to switch between defending and attacking.Commentators have contrasted tiki-taka with "route one physicality" and with the higher-tempo passing of Arsène Wenger's Arsenal side, which employs Cesc Fàbregas as the only channel between defence and attack.Tiki-taka is associated with flair, creativity, and touch, but can also be taken to a "slow, directionless extreme" that sacrifices effectiveness for aesthetics.
* In terms of fm thats describing Very fluid. Also to encourage 1 or two passing freedom must be more disciplined to encourage lots of passing
