@Voice of Reason are you mentally impaired? Obviously everyone occasionally kicks it long in times of danger. The difference is that Barcelona are known for lucrative passing football, whereas this league is known (very well) for kicking it long at every given possibility. E.g. Barca earn a free kick on the half way line and they play it short. In our league someone earns a free kick on the half way line and everyone charges into the penalty area to get on the end of a hopeless ball in. You can't compare the two on the same level. Kicking it long will win you nothing in professional football nowadays. Please don't dig a deeper hole for yourself than you already have. It's pathetic watching you defend route 1 football.
