Parking the bus and utilising low blocks is how teams try to overcome heavy possession sides. It makes for a boring watch but a tighter game, often seen throughout La Liga matches. With the way Man City/Leicester play, the opposition's gaps are the most important thing to take advantage of. Once found, a set of play can be initiated swiftly and chances can be created.
Which is why Tottenham has a history of setting up like this against Man City, ensuring they don't allow gaps to be penetrated. The teams that are successful at this method need to have decisive finishers who are clinical because they will only get a few chances on the counter and need to make them work.
