Spaniards know tiki-taka, Pippi knows Taka-Tuka. Then, German national players neither wear red jerseys nor curled stockings. But they know something about fast-paced, modern style football. They know how to move around the ball. "One-touch" is a magical formula – easily said, yet so hard to master. “Knock it on! Get rid of it” – coaches coach players to play faster. And Germany is no exception to the trend.
A defender excelled at this statistic: Marcel Schmelzer topped the 2012/13 season when it comes to quickly forwarding the ball. On average, Dortmund’s Schmelzer had 1.76 contacts before he passed the ball. Either he played one-contact football or he passed it on with his second contact. Fast and furious – we applaud Mr. Schmelzer.
