The tactic shared Dutch Total Football's principle of high defensive line, positional interchange and use of possession to control the game. They often scored late goals as the opposition -- exhausted from chasing the ball the whole match -- could no longer keep up and were worn out from closing down Barcelona players and not getting near to them at all.
