Basically, Pep revived the role of a sweeper. Back into football one of the best sweeper is Franz Beckenbauer. He was a excellent forward passer and he was able to control the tempo of the game. Check out FIFA world cup 74 Germany v Holland. Pep is a absolute genius
@@JakeT89 he adopted a team at Barca….. went to Bayern adopted a team there…. Man city spent countless of millions and millions. Yeah most coaches do it now a days. But pep tends to overthink. He will switch it up last minute on them
Pep might honestly be the best manager of ALL TIME not because of any "peaks" or "primes" but the very fact that he's able to be SO CONSISTENTLY adaptable no matter what tactics he employs, it works to a really good level at all times
Liverpool fan here. Peps so good he makes football boring. Im anxiously anticipating when he leaves because, until then city are just going to be miles better than everyone and win everything
We’ll definitely see a drop off from the currently quality but City are so good at planning and preparation that I think they’ll continue to be a force even without Pep.
Raising stands is pushing Klopp to make Liverpool better. Trust me Pep is good for premier league. Sunday league team playing out from back tell you all you need know.

Yeah. He's built a clutch team. All his previous teams needed to graceful and amazing to watch but he failed to realise that football had evolved beyond that 2010/2011 barcelona team. You don't need to have a team dropping a 9/10 performance every week. Uu just need to build a team that knows how to win. Kudos to pep for finally realizing this
It just so happens that even Pep's "philosophy" of zones on the pitch and player rotations and coordinations around those zones STILL works best with traditional: * Defence profile * Attack profile Instead of his former: * Total Midfielders player profile. What he realized is the best teams can have a few chances and score and win against his former total midfielder teams at the top level as said. Be interesting to see what happens in the final of the Champions League. Barring the monstrously unfair and randomness of the Casino Roulette Lottery Rule of "hand/arm-ball + penalty area == Instant Penalty" (another perfect text-book example of experts + technology = Insanity), I think the balance of Pep's squad is very strong this year and I predict they'll have higher scoring opportunities than Inter and should have high quality scoring opportunities that directly benefit Haaland....
@@Saeroye I got it wrong with respect to Haaland: I thought he'd end up scoring.

@@commentarytalk1446 the pitch being too wet wasn’t commented on at all. It’s was weird tbh but they won cagey game but typical City goal with how it came about. It wasn’t lucky but stragically it came about. Most impressed by ever evolving role of Stones. Also, with Haaland he was quiet but kept the defenders busy. Due to the type of striker he is it can lead to him being shut down. I feel Ballon dor might have been strong about if he was instrumental in final. Despite everything he had a great season plenty of room to grow and he recognises that which is positive.

Ancelotti too inconsistent, never has more than one good season at a club. Managed the best clubs in Europe's top 5 leagues and always gets sacked after 1 season, only casual fans will look at his trophy cabinet without context and say hes the best
Second only behind SAF. That Barca team 08 - 12 was the best team ever and the thought of playing against them as a Man United fan was frightening. But, I am not going to argue putting him ahead of Ferguson in about 10 to 15 years but Guardiola is truly one of a kind 😊
About pep vs fergie we can argue all day long, but for sure there is no one can be sure of which one is better, because they haven't meet in the same league. Fergie only manage one team in one league, its much more easy since he doesn't need to adapt to different play style across Europe. While pep only had 7 years in the Premier league, unless he stayed for another 10 year in EPL we wont be able to conclude anything.
But he hasn't changed really,, City still play the same football but a little direct cause of Haaland and his frustration of not being able to win the UCL..
@@davidvalencia129 like who else? He’s got those Yaya Toure style runs in him; not to the same level obviously but when he gets going he can be unstoppable at times. He’s excellent at driving the team forward.
It’s really easy to see why Pep alters his tactics… his tactics change with every new assistant he gets… Coincidence? No! It’s not! Pep’s fakeness is right in your face but everyone refuses to see it
It says alot about how uninspiring and unintelligent people around today are when they use a word such as 'genius' or 'legend', previously reserved for the likes of Einstein or King Arthur, to describe someone who is good at 'kick ball'.
Just when teams adapt to him, he changes it up again

@@gummi8409 Nah miles better than him tbh
There was a wise man named Paul Levesque who said "adapt or perish". Pep is clearly a fan of that man.
Only guardiola can play attacking football with 4 CBs in starting XI
it is a testament to foden's talent that he has the second highest number of goals despite rarely being among the starting eleven.
That was a mistake, alvarez is 2nd not foden

This is simply one of the most detailed and educated videos I have ever watched regarding any form of football analysis. Great job.
He never ditched hus philosophy he evolved it there's a difference
The quality of this video analysis is spectacular.
Pep went from False striker to False CB
I think if he wins the UCL Today I think he is the best manager in football history.
Its done
When he retires, that would be a big loss to football.
The real thanos of the football world a mad titan football Genius🙌🏽👑
When you have a generational talent, you have to adapt.
People always say Pep changes football when he wins, overthinking when he lost.

SAF never won nothing in another league even learned another lenguage. Thats why SAF never will be equal to what did Pep.
The best squad in the world
Pep is the greatest manager after Cruyff.
He's leading while other managers are trying to catch up and copying him
You know what it’s real when league two teams are playing out of the back.
I just pray that City's Treble winning team will surpass the current Argentina team that won the Copa America and World Cup!
His Barca teams are still his best ever sides by far
But he hasn't changed really,, City still play the same football but a little direct cause of Haaland and his frustration of not being able to win the UCL..
This Man City team is so superior to the previous barca
We enjoyed thanks
you will not talk about West Ham ?
Didn't know Aymeric is spaniard now. Thx
