  • Samuel Eto’o and Pep Guardiola won a treble together but what they shared behind the scenes and beyond all the trophies was nothing short of a cold war. This is the story of why the two footballing legends absolutely can’t stand one another.

    Do you think Guardiola really underestimated Samuel Eto'o from the beginning ?

    • @mugenAPEX
      @mugenAPEX 3 місяці тому +7

      No, he thought he was an amazing player and striker but he also thought that he had too much of an attitude and ego during his time there. At the start of his manager career, Pep couldn't really handle players with an attitude so he opted to get rid of him and ironically...he brought in Zlatan 😂. I would assume Pep is better with dealing with egotistical players now as he's grown as a manager

    Pep was a young inexperienced coach who did not know how to handle a strong character like Etoo.He wanted quiet players who will not question him and Barcelona probably wanted to use him to get rid of Etoo. Etoo had a great relationship with Laporta and had just gone through a lot with the club in the media space..So it was a case of a fed up legend being led by an inexperienced genius. With Etoo,we could have defended the UCL in 2010,we also could have beaten Chelsea in 2012..The leadership and character he had was what we missed when the Anfield and Rome humiliation happened....he is the greatest N09 barca have ever had

    Look if you go into a company and start changing things and you have no experience behind you - you’ll get questioned. Personally I have experienced this first hand and sometimes they were right to question. But if you want to be successful in your role and bring success to that organization - you need to first back yourself and stand your ground. Some characters won’t stand for that and if you have the power to let them go then you should.
    This is what happened with Pep, he had no management credentials but brilliant ideas and vision for Barca’s future and personalities like Eto was not ready to stand down and take his leadership and ideas. It worked out great for both Pep and Eto in the end as they both found success.

    • @lindilebangose7667
      @lindilebangose7667 Місяць тому

      Exactly mate. People like to personalize this like we haven't seen this play out. As soon as new leadership takes charge, the old guard always resists any form of change. And the fact that Eto had an influence in getting the old coach fired meant he was a problematic character that meant he had to go otherwise the new lead3rship won't make it.

    • @brandonb.6799
      @brandonb.6799 27 днів тому

      This will not be a problem if the new management’s changes are rooted in rationality for success of the company, as opposed to biased feelings.
      Being the striker with the best results statistics in the team, at the top of European football, and also a well-known team leader who has been a support to younger players…..only for new management to kick you to the curb because they feel threatened by you, obviously won’t sit well with you.
      Great managers will use you for benefit of the company/team’s success rather than feel threatened by you. And in turn, you will surrender to their leadership (just the way Mourinho did with Eto’o). Sure, they may gain more iron-clad control on the team by kicking you out, but at the cost of lower performance? Which is more important here?

    Many things here missing and are wrong :
    - When Pep was promoted to Barca´s first team , Ronaldinho , Deco and Eto were at the chopping block. Ronaldinho and Deco cuz their form have been awful and Eto cuz of his ego. In the end Eto stayed at Barca one extra year because Pep could not get one extra striker he need it.
    - The main problem came was that "Guardiola" never told anything to Eto to his face and it was everything thru the president or a manager around.
    - Also Eto replacement was Zlatan , not Messi. Messi has been playing with Eto for a long time already and Messi looked up to him
    - Guardiola change the system to the False 9 and make Eto play on the wing and Messi as the "Center Forward". At first they clash but after results were yielding and Eto was also playing good , it look something that they left on the past. Eto even at that position score vs United at the Final of the champions league
    - Though in the end , Eto was replace for Zlatan because "taller , physical stronger and acrobatic" that would fit for Pep
    - This problem also was not just with Eto , but it happend to with Zlatan and also with other players like Yaya Toure at Barca and then at City too lmao
    - Funny thing is that "Haaland" is the "personification" of "what if Zlatan and Pep get along.
    - Also we have to remember that Pep was just starting and him dealing with egos is not what he is today
    - Over the years Pep got better on dealing with egos

      Haaland works because there's no other "Haaland" at City.
      Lewandowski also works because there's no other "Lewandowski" at Bayern.
      Eto'o and Zlatan "failed" because Pep got Messi, and he didn't need two "Messi" in his team. It was a shame, because it could work. Later we all saw how Barca's Messi-Suarez-Neymar killed football.

      @@zabdi5710 i think i'm clear. He can't fit two "Messi", or he doesn't need two "Messi" in his system, his strategy, his tactics. There always one main goalscorer in the starting lineup. Messi in Barca, Lewandowski in Bayern, Aguero and now Haaland in City.
      As you can see in this video, Eto'o scored plenty. He got replaced by Zlatan only to have the same situation later. So strange. He wasted two highscoring strikers just like that in Barca.
      All i can guess, by that time Pep realized that the superiority in his system is when he plays Messi as his main goal-getter. He asked Eto'o to do something, to play strictly to this plan. Eto'o didn't like it. Same thing happened with Zlatan. Henry a good student, a model professional, so he's fine.

      When you look at what the team eventually became you can see why Pep didn’t want them. Messi was the striker so he needed a striker who could drop deep and bring others into the game. Eto was a world class striker but he was more of a goalscorer than a creator. Yaya was nothing like a Pep Barcelona midfielder. Again he was world class but he was an all action hyper athletic box to box player and Xavi, Busquets and Iniesta were the complete opposite. They were calm, patient ball retaining players. Also Pep needs his player’s mentality to match his own. He’s happy to ship off world class players if he thinks they aren’t 100% bought in to his philosophy.
