Ever heard of 'tiki-taka' or 'túnel'? Here are what those terms mean and more.
The first term that may automatically come to mind is a bicycle kick, but there’s another meaning as well. It can also refer to a step over, a useful dribbling move by an attacker to escape a defender.This term is the popular association to a bicycle kick in Spanish, which is when a player attempts an acrobatic overhead kick with their back facing the goal. In English, this means"to close the clamp,” which refers to the match-defining goal in a close game.
When someone describes a player with this phrase, it means they’re a goal poacher. Their positioning in the final third will see them get on the end of easy tap-in style goals. Tiki-taka is a style of play and movement that emphasizes short, quick passes that authorizes teams to maintain possession for large portions of the match. Barcelona during the 2000s and 2010s have exemplified this in extraordinary ways.
