I call it sensibly keeping possession whilst probing for an opening.Unless you prefer them to just lob the ball in the box and pray.
As I implied, I'd have liked them to consider another option before immediately giving it back to the person it came from.
I am a big fan of that as well, Silva always knows his options, even when he plays the simple ball he has taken a glance at what he has around him. Playing with wingmirrors.

Yeah, I'd call it playing similar to Barca. they always do a quick pass back. It sucks the defender out of position, freeing up space behind the two players.

Really?
The defender as in the opposition player who is defending the person on the ball. Not a difficult concept

As opposed to the defender who is in the team to defend?
