Spain, Bayern Style (3-1-4-2) - Spain, Bayern Style - ShareMyTactics.com

Spain's early exit in the 2014 WC prompted many to say that tiki-taka was dead. This may not be so, as Bayern have shown that assymetric play and fluidity between defensive roles may guard against counterattacks, as well as maximize offensive potential. If Spain ever want to take a page out of Pep's Bayern, just as they did from his Barcelona, here's a suggested 11. Note the positions of Azpilicueta/Pique and Busquets. These region is the most significant, because unless the opposition play 2 in the front and pressure well, one of them will always be free, and Pique and Busquets can all spray long passes to Alba and Silva. The role of Iniesta is to find space and interchange with Fabregas and make key passes into the box, while the "Robben" role of Pedro/Navas/Silva is to play an attacking winger role.
