Pep Guardiola i sin nye bog - ''Jeg hader Tiki-Taka'' , glæder mig godt nok til at læse hvad der underbygger hans had til det.

Tiki-taka var seværdigt, inden Del Bosque og Pep tog konceptet for langt. Den oprindelige tiki-taka spillestil, som Barcelona udøvede med Ronaldinho som frontfigur, blev spillet i et meget højere tempo. Det var ofte seværdigt.
