Barca have the best midfield in the world you can't press them of the ball.
not press up, press the player on the ball and the next player

start to press before the ball gets to them and then get stuck in close

instead what united did was stand about 6 feet off them with back to goal tryin to keep them at bay letting them pass it about with ease

this is absolutely pointless tactic and just lets them have the ball and they can do what they like

also it means far less time united have on the ball

and the few times united had it they throw it away by hoofin it up the pitch

pathetic tactics
