Every manager in this window: let’s get our box midfield sorted
Pep: box is out
😂😂😂
Box now... No stay out stay out
😂😂😂
😂😂
😂 love it, all other managers are crying I to their cereal, they had only just got the box sorted and now this, bloody Pep for making things interesting 😀
what's funny is that City basically always start the season poorly. its because they're adapting to the wild new tactic Pep has decided to try. but once they've adapted, they then go on a crazy winning streak and win the league in the final few games
You're so right, Pep's just playing football manager at this point😂
No, even when they're "adapting" they still get like 43+ points from 19 games
Its so much of players and system quality diff. The stable backbone of city that even if they are not in form, they manage to get something out of every match.
"Poorly". Meaning 2nd.
Yeah it was like that but tbh this is not so hard to figure out just breaking the lines by dribbling. And they've won all 3 games so far
Gotta give props to Pep always trying new stuff every season to finally beat Spurs away. This season they might actually do it.
Legend has it that when they build the new stadium, they buried his last strand of hair before he went bald underneath the pitch as a curse. Man city will only win there after he leaves
Who cares if they beat Spurs away or not. They got more trophies.
@@rezaimran98 True man city fans know that beating Spurs away is bigger than winning the treble!
@@ajlouis6038 i would be happy if we didn't win a trophy, but somehow beat spurs away in the prem, and ideally in another competition!
@@thomasjohnson8033 Carabao Cup it is then.
3 years ago - Small boys pass through everything
Last year - 4 CB - 6CMs and a big Norwegian
This year - RUN B*TCHES
In 3 years - Haaland at Right back, Bernardo Silva wont be allowed to step more then 4 meters from the penalty spot and Ederson as the classic N10. KDB will play in a cast at CB
Looool total football on steroids. Still fascinating every title win has distinct style different to previous one.
@@Saeroye If you mean performance enhancement drugs by football on sterioids then that's already happening in City so ya.
Not gonna lie the thought of KdB as an aging regista that keeps scanning the field and just walking excites me more than it should be
@@ezzong I think he would be perfect for this. Kdb eye for pass and creating from deep would be amazing to see. Wonder if Pep might explore this to adapt his game. Pirlo vibes!
If it works, it works
he is building JJ’s dream team, just a bunch of dribbly bois
United & Chelsea spending billions & they still play like Wolves 😅
@@jitennchaudhary9665 actually, wolves played better🥲
Pep be like playing whole game in opposition half is not good enough,we must play whole game in opposition box 😂
Wasn't his dream team was basically JWP at all positions?
Dribbly bois are fun to watch
Pep has basically laid the groundwork for teams to use 5-6 different tactics for the next decade or so. The biggest trailblazer in football history, more than Sebes, Michels, Cruyff or Sacchi.
I’ve said it many times that the greatness of Pep is unmatched and the biggest reason why is because he evolves everytime . He creates a system and plays against it in training to find its flaws and then creates alternatives or two to it when it doesn’t work well. Pep is the architect of the 21 st century football
Pep made all of this for Michels tho, best manager of all time, but football always evolve
@@EnormeEkoHfootball always evolves but pep is leading the evolution.
@@foolishball9155 yep, 100%
Yo calm down buddy, not more than Cruyff or Sacchi. He's reintroducing the tactics they invented albeit with slight variations.
The rest of the league will soon copy this. But by then, Pep will be using a 3-1-5-1 with a rotating hexagonal midfield or something
Bro, half the players already play in absurd positions from time to time. I've seen Bernardo move completely to the left a few times now, in order to attack. It's wild!
@@SomethingSomewhereJustOnce yeah it's unreal and I think almost nobody except pep and the players fully understand it lol. I get the feeling they don't talk so much about formations, but more a set of guidelines for where to go/what to do in different situations, so the attack can be so fluid with players changing positions
Pep has legit created inverted goalkeepers lmao with Ederson building the attack. Back at Bayern he wanted to play Neuer in midfield which was a bit mad but shows how creative he is
Pep 1: the passy boys, pep 2: the big strong boys, pep 3: dribbly boys
Don't forget the speedy bois era with sané and sterling
Big strong boys was my favourite pause
@@lilkavon6085 god last year was mesmerising at times especially of course that Real game
Don't forget all these boys were bought with sugar daddy money, any plastic club can do this if enough money is pumped in using shady methods
Pep 4 : Tackle boy , Pep 5 : 3 shooter boy . Pep 6 : slamdunk boy
"Ederson playing high up the pitch now in that new formation where he's basically an outfield player" - One happy Brazilian boy
Pep is football genius. And its not all about money, Chelsea or ManU spending milions on mid players still not beign able to compete like random players like Mudryk. Pep knows what he wants and get specific players, not always obvious picks.
Yes, he gets specific players at great cost. That's why he wins. He's sold Palmer, a youth player who's scored two important goals this season, who could have filled in for KDB while he's injured, but decided to buy a Wolves player instead. Says it all about his managing style.
@@gentleken7864 He also made all the Nunes money back on the Palmer sale. But keep on hating.
@@gentleken7864 people be trashing on Pep now because he did good business
@@ptbauro Not really, it just backs up that he is a cheque manager. He had Palmer who scored in the Charity Shield and in the Super Cup and was showing great promise only to be sold and replaced by a Wolves player for a similar price. Nothing says 'cheque book manager' than that exact situation.
It’s about the structure man. The biggest thing Pep has done is completely revolutionise how City are run. From top to bottom they run even tighter than The Mob.
The likes of Brighton and Brentford prove that money is only an enhancer of what you have. Not the be all and end all.
every time they copy him, he invents new styles. He is the master
They think they're him but only he is him
That’s because while the others are looking at him or systems that works , he plays against his to create 3/4 solution on his to beat his own system and has many alternatives. Pep is the greatest.
I was just joking with a friend saying we should have this deleted before Arteta sees it then I realised he's currently experimenting with the 3 at the back and total football style. At least Ange Postecoglou admitted to copying Pep hence Spurs are playing alot well, Arteta insists he isn't.
Pep Guardiola is truly in a class of his own. While some argue that his success is solely attributed to the unlimited funds at his disposal, I beg to differ. This man is a football genius, operating on a level entirely unique to him. Even Liverpool fans, who may claim that Jurgen Klopp matches Pep's prowess, should acknowledge the distinction. It took Klopp eight years to modify his 4-3-3 system, whereas Pep has continuously reinvented his teams. Moreover, Klopp himself has adopted the box midfield, a tactical approach popularized and perfected by Pep. This underscores just how influential Guardiola is.
Tbh lots of managers have unlimited funds, and City are far from the biggest spenders really.
Since pep came to England he's been outspent by both united and Chelsea
The funds allow him to reinvent/rebuild faster. While Klopp took 8 years, Pep took 2 when he got a set of new defenders
how is unlimited funds even a thing to say to pep. he created the best team in the world with youth academy players at barca with 19 year olds
A well reasoned argument tbf but we didn’t spend a billion on our treble, Pep did 😁.
Guardiola has to be the best coach of all time, reinventing his tactics almost every year and rarely fails. He stays ahead of the competition and inspires new football tactics.
And if you watch city 24/7 you’d see how pep plays like a million different tactical systems all throughout the season. It’s actually insane. His system is by far the most complicated system in the world and it’s not even close
if easy when he can buy
not rlly, chelsea, united, arsenal, psg also buy but do not achieve the same level of success as city. You need money to be successful in football but it does not guarantee success.@@kukunase1686
@@fader1912that’s why not every player can thrive. Even with talent you need give 8/10 performance, focus and work rate. Palmer got sold to Chelsea despite being with first team for 3 years but his work rates was issue not talent. These things you mentioned shows why the bar is so high now to win title.
@@Saeroye Yh but I don’t think palmer got sold because of that. I think city just sold him because they don’t have the space and time to give to him and they don’t want to stand in his way or hamper his development so they let him leave. I’m sure he was the one who opted out for Chelsea because if he says I want to stay and fight for my spot then city would’ve definitely have kept him. City always listens to players unless the player is misbehaving and disturbing the team
I've always been bit of a Pep hater I'm being honest but the man is just too good. Hes literally dictating European football as everyone just keeps copying him.
same, i hated barcelona because of how dominant they were under pep, but now i can see that pep is a pioneer
Loooool fr. Every manager looking at what pep is doing, they copy and he’s onto the next already💀. Just unbelievable.
Why do you hate him
The smart thing to do would be to create a system that exposes his teams weaknesses. And by doing so you would also have an advantage over other teams that are replicating his tactics. Case in point West Ham vs Brighton. Copying him is just playing into his hands
Actually, Pep copies other managers, some from the past some from the present coaches. They're just not as well known as him because he is more popular so people think he is the one who is inventing these tactics. all great artist steals
Pep is using Man City like it's his personal lab rat at this point
It’s so fascinating and exciting to watch and learn as football fan.
😂😂😂
😂😂
@@SaeroyeAgreed
I mean we're certainly benefiting from it lol
I hope fellow Wolves fans watch this video to see how much our formation was ruining Nunes. Dude played out of position for most of his time there.
bruh we just learned the current meta and now he making the next one 😭😭😭😭
Wow. Now Ederson is literally a Midfielder now 😂. How Pep's tactics have evolved 👏
Those long passes 🔥. But Onana tho 😂😂
he'll be overlapping with Haaland soon
Pep's tactic = I will make you confused. Even I'm confused sometimes.
Pep is more focused on players who won't screw simple passes up, rather than players who can play pinpoint 40 yard diagonals. Considering the precursor to misplacing a simple pass is usually a bad first touch (which themselves are often a result of a poor pass from a teammate), it makes perfect sense that Pep goes for capable dribblers with great ball control. He has done this for most of his managerial career.
Their signings can often do the pinpoint 40 yard diagonals too - but that's very much secondary and down to the calibre of player he tends to have, especially with KDB at his disposal.
Except for haaland whose first touch is worse than some Sunday league players and his passing is average. But hey he gets his job done. Pep does not look for specific type of player,he looks at a player and thinks if the player can remove weakness on the field. It was obvious that pep needed a true no 9, so he signed haaland regardless of his preferences. That is what makes him a good coach because he signs players according to his needs not his desires. He saw that he could not make progress on the field with the ball so he signed players that could help him do that exact thing. His idea is simple but a lot of thinking and work is necessary to make that simple idea work.
@@foolishball9155football is a simple sport but that’s what makes it so hard
@@foolishball9155haalands touch is actually very good it’s just hard to touch and turn at the same time, his passing isn’t bad either since he mainly does short passes but I think they limited his passing so that’s why it doesn’t look as good
@@deo8375LOL, his touch is horrible.
This is the best analysis of what Pep is doing this season.
I'm back for the second time to watch it, I recommended it to Citeh fans as well because this man is a villain.
It should be noted than Man City wanted Declan Rice who is also elite at carrying the ball and progressive carries... Very interesting analysis !
Declan was open to go there.. However, Man City dint bid higher than Arsenal..I dont understand that..
@@hardydragon3 They want Arsenal outbid them so they can't chase their target next season . They trick Manu buy cr7 so they cant buy Haaland next season
@@goblincomic4522 Who is man city target next season and from 90m to 105m is not big jump..!
@@hardydragon3 Mitoma from Brighton perhaps . Or some one to replace Bernaldo Silva , he almost go this season now it prefect time to find replacement
Pep Guardiola is like the overpowered villain and not even a league of heroes can stop him because he's always a step ahead
Watch all the big European clubs follow his lead again
Especially Arteta
@@dappletonjhe is his protege after all
Man we here at City are truly blessed to have Pep❤
Liverpool are doing this abit I think, gravenberch amd szobo are both ball carriers
Not everyone has the money or lawyers to follow what City have done
You have it figured out Pep has been complaining about not having the speed and chaos of sterling and sane hence MC has to play slow all the time.
Pep is the greatest coach of this generation.
EVER
It's a legitimate argument now that he's better than SAF was

Peps gotta change his tactics constantly because every other coach copies him 😅
Big Ange was doing this in the 80s mate
@@Crouchy232323 I don't think so. He's been playing "keep the ball down" since then, but he wasn't doing anything like this, as was just explained.
Not copy but maybe counter the playstyle or get used to it
@@funkrates4778 I'm not sure you understand mate
@@Crouchy232323 I do understand. Ange was just recently quoted as saying that he just looks to see what Pep is doing and then copies him. During the FA Cup, he was bringing in both wingbacks inside and making the pitch narrow, but it turned out to be a terrible idea because he was getting stretched out non-stop. The reason Spurs lost during the FA Cup was due to Ange himself. Had he not tried to copy Pep, maybe he would have won that game.
Imagine you are a football game programmer, trying to replicate Pep’s tactics into the game 😂
I think the right way is to let players drive the tactics. I want to implement very specific tactics in EA FC 24 but basically can't. At least we should have Football Manager kind of tactics
Gotta love all the people (uhm Barca fans) that are saying that City is struggling right now without Gundogan when Pep wouldn't let someone like him go without a proper reason
Pep forced arteta and klopp into playing a box midfield because he was so successful with it only to immediately change system
If city can defend counter attacks at the wings, they will lift the treble again.
4 centre backs. I'm sure they'll be fine
Now they can lol. They conceded the fewest shot against in europes top 5 leagues and barely conceded a goal from a counter attack since they went on their crazy run of victories . Having dribblers and ball carriers will make City unbeatable
Have you ever watched a City game? They're the best at stopping counters because of their counter-press and tactical fouling when needed
Ederson finally getting to play in his favourite position,the midfield 😮
Pep makes everyone play his way then makes a new way that cuts his old tactics to pieces, GOAT
Didn't know where Doku was last game you think he's on the right then he's on the left then he's in the middle dragging everyone outwide
Just when you think ‘oh, we’ve got them all figured out’, you get a bunch of new dribbly bois added to the mix..
now ederson plays as a cb.. madness
I don’t think I have seen goalkeeper like Ederson. In a league of his own.
It's like basketball, one of the best way to breakdown a defense is to dribble at it and draw the defender out to create passes lane.
I seem to remember Grealish being a dribbly boy at Villa
Last season Grealish was :
- 99th percentile in carrying distance
- 98th% in progressive distance
- 95th% carries into penalty box
Literally what he does at city as wel
Where did it take Aston Villa? Nowhere... So focus on details how he is becoming a better footballer individually and team wise. Aston Villa Grealish to me is the same as Zaha no one doubts his ability, now and again he will stand up when playing big teams because it allows them to flourish, it's what they do but come end of the season with all that carry and dribbly, not on the assist chart s and goals. So please guys don't go there, he is a key player to what city want and believe
Great video. Pep continues to set the pace for other managers to follow. Truly is the GOAT.
Much needed video, because I for one was really puzzled by the reversion to a double pivot. In 19/20 when they did that they played some of the worst football of pep's tenure.
I think this is arguably the final form or close to the final form. All these dribbling boys who can’t be pressed will likely just be too good to press and if you put the tactical genius of pep into it will likely mean serious dominance again
I agree bro. For me , this is the true Prime of Pep. If this team reallly peak , it will be the most balanced team he’s ever managed : from attack to midfield to defence in terms of almost everything. The players that are in that team are very vertical and can carry the ball a lot in transition .
@@omariblake21 Agreed. I would say this could be the best team ever defensively. They can really finish this season with 15-20 goals conceded in the league. As Mikel Arteta once said, Pep is the most defensive manager even tho he plays nice attacking football, just because the more you have ball the less likely you are to concede. Pep got amazing, amazing defence and a very good midfield now on top of that. Combine that with pretty lethal KDB + Haaland + Foden + Alvarez + Doku up front, who will not miss their chances like Sterling or Jesus did, and this team could really do the treble again.
If they do so, Pep will most definitely be considered the best manager of all time, KDB will be considered the best PL player of all time and this team will be the best team of all time, with only Barca 2010 being close to it.
Why would you ever think that? Pep can't help but tinker with his tactics, even when they're winning!
Same thing was said about last season.
No, perfect dominance is only achieved in his book when all players have the mindset of a holding midfielder like Busquets, and can comfortably play street football at the back 😂😂
When Rodri more forward likes Gundo role & Kovavic-Akanji become DM.
Actually this is already happening. Rodri has three goals and an assist in his last 4 games, he says he is now more free to attack because Kovacic is more defensive. With clubs not seeing this at all - defenders marking Kovacic who also likes to go upfront (without creating threat) and Rodri normally marking no10s who are lazy to defend, opening space for him.
@@rudyverse Kovacic was player shouldn’t not have sold. With all the young players without proper leaders around apart from Silva and Sterling.
He has fitted in that city midfield like he has been playing all his life. Made me realised only players with high football IQ can intergrate seamlessly and Akanji hit the ground running similarly. Interestingly he is human calculator which just shows how intelligent he is. Some players take longer not on that wavelength but get there with time.
@@Saeroye Yes, Grealish is a good example. It took some time for him to understand his role but now he is a regular starter for the best team in the world, even tho he doesnt score or assist, and there is a reason for it. City have Haaland for goals so Grealish doesnt need to score just help the team. And he does his part very naturally and very good now. Pretty much impossible for opponents to take the ball off him.
Make a video on Ibrahim Sangare joining Nottingham Forest, I’d love to watch that especially because of how much love you gave that player.
Great vid again. Perhaps we'll see Pep favouring a diamond midfield like the UCL final
Ederson
Stones Dias Gvardiol
Nunes Rodri Kovacic
Foden
Bernardo Haaland Grealish
With great depth in Walker, Akanji, Ake, Phillips, De Bruyne, Doku and Alvarez. Maybe we need to buy one more attacker
yeah keep buying FC
@@kukunase1686They want to keep winning. Is it wrong tho?. Pep means ambition and domination, and he will dominate EPL, yet again.
@kukunase1686 Why do you guys always complain bout buying?
Foden Bernardo Gomez and Bobb can all play as wingers too. City don’t have room for an attacker.
We finally building the team to Haalands strength
More direct and the counterattacking style will increase to keep pace with Haaland and utilise him better.
Ballon d’or next year
@@markstream7058ballon d'or this year.. sorry Messi fans..
@@viverepericoloso7627Messi will win it.
@@khaynedallkhalifa9891 no he won't, 1 mvp in 1 tournament vs 4 competitions!
Pep could coach us until he's 70 and end up winning more than every other team combined
It makes so much sense tho last season they focused on one goal, getting the ball to Haaland and a goal was inevitable, but as we saw in later half of the season all the teams started cutting those supply lines by overwhelming Haaland so it only makes sense to get dribblers who will sort out the defence in 1v1 situations until there are only a few remaining to mark Haaland in the final 3rd where Haaland is literally unstoppable
You guys owe Guardiola a cut of your profits. 😂
I find it quite interesting that guardiola is playing Ederson as a normal field player in Possesion. That's soemthing the Hamburger SV under Tim Walter is playing in the second Bundesliga for like 3 years. This was alot discussed in the last years in germany and makes a really good defensiv shape against counterattacks extremely important. Really looking forward how this will develop over the whole season in the premier League.
Megamind of football, PEP GUARDIOLA
The reason why pep will be successful every time is because he was the pivot of Barca. He understands the role of off the ball and extensive ball retention
It takes Pep almost 5 seasons before he created the perfect Man City Squad. The board and fans of Man City must be really commended for their support and patience
Tbf, it helped that in his 2nd season he won the EPL with 100 points.
This statement is a joke. Pep won domestic treble in the 3 and centurions 2nd year. Some of you don't do any research but just talk nonsense on the internet.
Well, he won 2 Premier Leagues with 198 points in total, plus a domestic treble. After going trophyless during the Covid season, he won the league again and reached the UCL final for the first time, all while playing beautiful football, breaking record after recordand destroying teams left and right. It's not like he wasn't bringing in any trophies during those years for fans to hate him or something.
I also noticed this, that unlike his usual preference of elite oassers with disciplined play, he opted for unpredictable dribblers.
I thought he'd have signed JWP as a KDB backup/competition.
He's at West Ham. Definitely not City level tbf. Nunes is still young, was being used too defensively in a poor Wolves side. They're City, they scout reasonably well and will likely get a good return on their investment.
Guardiola's always wanted these kinds of players. Whichever league he was in.
The only way I see Doku working for City is Guardiola turning him into his new Sterling. Because keeping Doku playing the way he is will only create problems. Doku is a great dribbler but his crossing and passing needs a lot of work. No doubt, within a season, Pep will have him passing like Ribery. But I have to see him play to understand because it doesn’t seem as if this will work.
Such an electric player more talented and faster than Sterling especially can score with his weak foot. Raw but under Pep he can mould him to be best version he can be. Very exciting this season.
I have this have feeling against top six team like Arsenal for example they might do what Bayern game play them on counter. City was up there in goals from counter attacking moment.
You definitely haven't followed doku at rennes if you say his passing and crossing needs work.
So, formulated an opinion without proper research?
NGL only Klopp system could counter Pep's craziness. Too bad Liverpool got no depth, Klopp is always only play his trusted starting eleven. This got really bad onnthe fitness of the players.
And Arsenal evolved so much we got Havertz.
This is why Pep is the greatest manager of all time,
He is a trend setter, box mid-fields with inverted fullback that can go into the mid-field or push up with a high line whilst building from the back was his tactic, dominated England with it and what do you know everyone is trying to hold possession, with box mid-fielders and inverting fullbacks.
But while other managers try to copy him what they don't do that Pep does is while he makes a tactic he knows how to destroy it and counter it just to make sure no one can use his tactic against him.
now we see him make a whole new formation with the 3-2-4-1 or a 3-2-5 (i have heard it called different things) no matter what you call it he invented it and we will soon see others copy because while other managers may be good, they all copy the one great, hell even Arsenal's great sesson last year was using Pep tactics, but all times they went up against Pep they got slaughted since Pep knows how to counter it.
No other manager has had the amount of sway in world football the same way as Pep, this man has gotten national teams, super clubs and crap clubs all the way down in the national league trying to play the Pep way.
Man. City have had for second year in a row the best transfer market. They add players they really need, and have built an even more incredible team than last season.
In terms of squad potential, Citizens are aiming for another treble. There is no discussion as of today.
They're the best team in the world.
Pep always goes for players I've never heard of and he brings the beast out of them🔥🔥 on the other hand my fookin manager ETH goes for players who are famous and they just flop🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ at this point I don't think he is a tactical genius at all.
guardiola taking a page out of the other great man's book, saf, who said something like "the best time to shake up a squad is right after winning"
I hope they make a way to do this on FM2024, i just love these analysis.
JJ, just a normal guy, who communicates normally, never change
Wasn't expecting to see you on my UA-cam feed this morning JJ. Hope you're keeping well. Great video. 🙂
Pep has many themes in his city era.
1. Speedy and one touch passing boys.with the Sterling and sane co
2.leaving traditional tiki gala and provides more vertical long balls
3. Big powerful boys with the 4 cbs a big striker and midfielders in rodeo and haaland
4. Now the dribblers. Essentially all players in the starting eleven can dribble now😂
dont forget 2 years of double false nine free role strikers
@dharmawiguna3232 that was the worst time of him in city
All Pep does is get the players most suitable to play in his system and set up his tactics to control the field against ANY opposition . He's NOT bringing any revolution, he's just adapting more and more to other PL teams who are getting better every window.
Some casuals think his style is just possession tiki taka and have no idea how hes adapted through the years to stay on top of the meta snd reinvent himself again and again
dribbly boys in all three lines of play, now the next thing he’d probably want is a dribbly GK who carries the ball past the forward press into the midfield 😂😂😂
Ederson would literally do anything for that 😂 Bros bored standing near the post
2:07 Bark at the moon (Ozzy)
It’s all to make up for haalands lack of involvement in build up. Compared to peps previous midfieldy formation where everyone’s involved they’re now essentially playing with 10 men so you need to dribble players and involve your keeper as much as possible to break the marking system and level the playing field because passing alone will leave haaland isolated and city outnumbered.
Makes me happy to hear that Haaland constitutes a vulnerability😏
Love to see the clash of philosophies when Man City face West Ham.
They will blow them away. Man city have physicality, pace , dribbling and ball carriers and height . They are a lot taller now than they used to be .
Kovacic carrying ball is lovely to watch. He's just starting 💀. Gomez and Philips should probably get some time to shine well. Then I wouldn't even put another treble race off the table.
Guardiola's new "homenaje a Messi" tactics:
When things get complicated... la pelota al 10.
Awesome coach. Great analysis
Cant help but laugh whenever the term Dribbliest Boy comes up
If all the new additions have all got progressive carries in their game, kinda takes the shine out of Grealish imo. One of the things he had gunning for him was that. Guess he’s got to step with G/A rn
Pep Guardiola : No more box midfield

I was telling people utd needs nunes a lot, they lack a ball carrying midflied.

@@truenoae8689it’s called sarcasm
Pep buys players with high IQ, amazing composure and can play in one or two positions. Thing that like Gundogan even will do well at fullback.

It seems like Foden can never become a nailed option in Pep’s tactical system. Not even mentioned in the video :( Quite a shame that Foden is just stuck in that starboy phase.
Nah not really. We've actually been very reliant on him this season
He is tho. Academy player handpicked . unpredictable passes can shoot. With mahrez gone no doubt now
Wish he'd move club, for his own growth and challenge and maturity. He needs to experience life outside of Manchester, and even out of England, not just for his football but also for his life.
So Pep figured out that playing the ball wide, so the winger can run forward to then turn his back to the opposition full back, and pass backwards so the player behind him can try again on the other wing, is not effective... genius. I mean... imagine carrying the ball forward. Mind-blowing.
Watch udemy tutorials on how football is played
Pep heard the robotic system shouts so he’s getting in pure hoopers 😭
Givibg PEP props for THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE! Wolves and slightly BRIGHTON have BEEEEEEN playing like this. WOLVES to be exact. PEP? PEP just has BIGGER budget and maybe better technical TEAM and better finisher!! But laying Deep and playing through absorbing the press IS A Brighton and Wolves thing! Check the footage from as old as LAST YEAR! Pep is ADDING THIS STYLE OF play to his arsenal
always good to see the Aberdeen shirt make an appearance
This is not new (technically), this is the heart of Johan Cruyff's philosophy.
Cruyff believed everyone should be able to beat a player (then utilise the benefit) & Rinus Michels believe you should move the ball (and not take the risk).
Benefit vs Risk
Johan Cruyff vs Rinus Michels
Pep Guardiola vs Van Gaal
pep is the greatest manager of all time. nobody has revolutionized football the way he has
that's because you weren't even born or watched football before pep
football went through immense transition before pep, under legendary managers who pep learnt from
each generation there's a manager that will try to fundamentally change football, last decade was mainly thanks to cryuff, you can watch videos for yourself and see how much past managers, especially Cruyff, managed to change the game and make it the way it is now, and modern managers keep taking points and adapting from their expertise to create the new meta
@@ridakesserwan8712 Thank you. These kids forget football existed pre 2000's. Sacchi's zonal marking, offside usage and pressing had just as much influence on managers and teams around europe for example. spanning from the whole of the 90's to the early 00's, but fans of this sport suffer greatly from recency bias. Its sad hardly anyone has respect for the OG's
the final againt inter was an eye opener for pep
Off-topic question: what software / app is he using to visualise here? Looks very useful for me as a youth football team coach.
I would managers like ten hag also recognized teams will press high and has pro actively made signings to counter that. Since united don't have a good ball carrier ten hag has decided to create artificial transitions with onana being good at direct passes and somone someone like hojlund who is physically good and can hold up the ball.
All of this innovating from pep, conte and inzaghi and gasperini has played this style of football for many years
Pep must relax
My guess, he can train positional play, but needs talent for dribblers to disrupt other manager's tactics in attack and keep flexible disruption possible?
Pep has no mercy. And to think that people used to say he can't dominate the EPL like La Liga and the Bundesliga. LOL
Dribbl-y boys are back!
That Jon cameo made me laugh!
Fun fact thiago motta inspired this as I remember u guys did a video bout it but the vid didn't use this formation but a completely separate one where the goalie is a ball playing defender who starts the attack
