Boss By Hugo,
I don't think the players consciously passed the ball around to increase statistics. They would carry on doing so until they found a good opening and/ or the opponents were tired or just bored and lost focus.
===================
I genuinely think they did under Guardiola. Sometimes 2 players would be in acres of space on the edge of their own box, no challenge or opening in sight, and they would do 3 or 4 quick one-twos when not even 1 single one-two was necessary - or benefitted them in any way whatsoever (other than to increase the pass / possession stats, of course).
