Somewhere in Spain, Brendan Rodgers is having a wet dream.
Barcelona wrote the book on possession football and they put their theory into practice better than anyone.
We’ve seen manys a team try out a classic game of piggy-in-the-middle only to have their inadequacies at actually playing football shown up.
But Barca have no such problems.
The Champions League winners were at their effortless best pinging one-touch passes to one another in training even with the so-called best pressing striker in the world, Luis Suarez, manically closing them down.
You’d rather be a strip of bacon than a piggy in the middle of that circle.
