It really depends. Defenders cannot see what's going on behind them, and would really require very tough mental capacity to track opponents and stay with your team's movement, whether they need help or are off their positions, or whether they need cover-up. Also, purely parking the bus won't get you anywhere, players like Messi would be practically useless in such situations and would be alone attacking most of the time. Even during counter attacks, without fast players, you are just going to lose the ball again and you have to track back and defend. It is very very physically demanding and every game you would just pray opponents don't score against you. Opponents defence also dont have to throw more men deep behind because they only need to mark one man and can bring more men forward during counter attack.
That being said now that Iniesta is injured, then there is no choice but to field the worst players against Chelsea but with a player like Iniesta, it is stupid not to make use his ability and control, to transition the ball better with fast technical players.
Juventus game was thought to be hard, but in the end we comfortably destroyed them, and didnt struggle one bit at the back because they were too preoccupied with our players and couldnt counter with numbers.
Attack can be good defense and defense can be good attack but ultimately it depends on on what players you have, if u have technicality then personally I would definitely choose technicality and have a bit of tacticality. Having only tacticality with very little technicality can easily backfire, as for Juventus and Atletico as they constantly fail.
We have an in-form Messi and Iniesta, and it would be stupid not to use their ability to transition better. We might as well just throw some random 10 men behind and 1 player in front and it would still have the same result.
