If you encourage your players to use the passing game instead of booting the ball long, you'll get them playing top-class football - just like Barcelona with their tiki-taka pass and move style of play.
To do that you need to improve your player's ability to keep possession, even when under pressure. It's also important to get players talking and working on their communication. By talking and telling each other where other players are, it'll become a lot easier to keep possession.
