This is the Barcelona team doing their thing. They are all teaming up at a time to get the ball after they have lost it. Then they will keep possession. Now for my question. My question is Why is the Barcelona playing style so effective and how does it work. My answer for this is that I works because they just know how to keep the ball and now when it's the right time to go for goal or keep passing. Like for example Messi. Everybody thinks that he goes for goal every time, but he only makes quick passes and never gives the ball up. This is why he is good. Even though he has his magical moments when he scores.
