Well that is what Rmpr was referring to in his original post...................................

Understood what he said then. Of course teams like Barcelona and some others do it better and effectively more than others. Was just making the point offering basic movement attacking generally.

Sheesh!

Yes, Guardiola's Barcelona had amazing movement but that's kinda like the basic aspect that every team should have, no? Regardless of the team, if you don't offer movements going forward, you're not going to penetrate the opposition. Barca may have an off day of sorts but Milan made it very difficult for them to penetrate by remaining discipline, tight and compact. They denied them the space in which Barcelona likes to play in.

No, far from basic stuff!

In a normal team, the striker can get out of the box and by doing that he drags a defender with him. This opens the oppostion's line and makes it easier for diagonal infiltration, leading to a good goal possibility. They also cant cross because no one is taller than 180cm. Barcelona doesnt have those weapons, it either rellys on Messi to finish with the game or thier through balls have to work. Pep's team had an incredible movement (ball and players), even with a good back 4, teams would suffer. Tito's team, on the other hand, looks very static. This is good training sessions and tactical ability (Barcelona would always change to 3-4-3 when the game was too one sided), something people dont give Guardiola credit for.

Look at their game in 2011:

Now look how they were yesterday (watch the first 30sec):

EDIT: Add what Choulo said! :P
