Barcelona (not a bad team),utilise what they call the ten second rule.This is similar to what your saying macca,on the odd occasion they lose possession,at least six players chase and close down the opposition/ball for ten seconds.
If they don't regain possession (which is rare!),they drop back into there defensive formation.
We have played our best football when we make the pitch smaller when we don't have possession , and large when we do.
Easier said that done,and you have to be supremely fit.
