Is possession and passing football dead? All teams left in the

Sadly yes. Now we have to watch trash on the pitch.

Have I gone back in time to 2012

Real Madrid and Monaco play direct football

That's not fucking defensive, it's actually more beautiful than tiki taka shit

How could you watch a Real or Monaco game and think they're counter attack football.

Possession soccer is a meme. Having the centerbacks pass it from the midfield and back for 60 minutes of the game does not result in scoring

posession football never worked, the only thing that made it 'work' was 2011 Messi soloing everything, no one else had a GOAT of that caliber
counter attack football has always been the key to anyhing. Just look at any big play in sports history and it's always a counter attack on the wing.

and set plays

just look at spain 2010

>final goal from counter attack
>semifinal goal from set play
>quarterfinal goals from set play

No. Tactics go in cycles. The counter-attacking style is big now because coaches figured out how to beat tiki-taka (play compact and counter).

Eventually new tactics will supplant the current trends, and the circle will be complete.

Dammit OP, you're making this prediction thing turn into Russian Roulette

>waah, they actually have to think instead of relying on boring the opposition to death with passes

Possession football never lived because it could only be done by Barcelona with Xavi-Iniesta-Busquets midfield. You need a midfield of the Gods to completely and utterly dominate a team properly to where their only option is to defend. Everything else was just meme shit that came and went. There are no teams currently good enough to do proper possession ball.
