No dribble required
Same game as last week. To be honest this game was extremely good tactics wise. This is the perfect example of the perfect defense. I grew up with the idea of, if you are doing a good job in defending, your teammate will get the ball back for you. So this is the example.
Today we have a really interesting game from Okliga day 26 between Barça and Reus. The game ended 2-2 .

There are two main takeaways here. The first is the defence. Barça is pushing up high. All the players are doing their job. As a reaction, Reus tries to get the ball to 3 or 7. That is the common strategy when you are being pushed.
There is something else here. Barça is pushing at 40 mts just before Reus passes the halfway line on the transition. When Barça changes to 20 mts defense.
When Reus hits 3, they try to open up again moving the ball back towards 0. Here is when Aragones (Barça Nº55) performed excellently. Aragones attacker is at 0 so as Barça is defending 20 mts, He stays on their own floor. Not only thought. He is cutting the pass line towards the weak side. And that is actually what happened. Aragones cuts the pass and launches the transition.
