How is the counter attack lucky?
It is a skill to be able to attack with speed, precision, and efficiency on the counter.
Barcelona are actually more effective when they attack on the counter...issue is teams realize this and will let Barca slow the game to a halt and pass the ball around.
Barca is too dangerous when the game is in the open, so sit back and let them slow the game down by looking for the perfect pass.
