TikiTaka only works when you are quick to recover the ball in the oposition's half; the problem with Spain, Bayern and Barcelona is that they stopped doing that. So when someone like ronaldo , Park, Bale, etc got the ball they always outnumbered the defense through speed. The key is to recover and press as soon as you loose the ball, if you dont then the only people between the other team and the goal is your anchor man, and one or two CBS with the wings cleared.
Look at Atletico, they know how to counter this, the first 10-20 minutes of the supercopa lst friday was a very agressive Atletico team pressing and attacking with 2 forwards, but the key was recovery; they got the ball as soon as they lost it and kept at it.
If you are banking on posession as your tool, you must recover quick, Barcelona stopped doing it, Spain stopped doing it, Bayern never did it.
that or instead of converting you 4-3-3 to a 2-3-2-3 in attack, use a 3-4-1-2 instead with the wing covered and plenty of cover for your defensive mid.
