The free flowing and showboating era of football is definitely over. It may or may not have been Pep, but the higher stakes today are definitely a factor to eradicate any potential errors in matches, which includes skills in general. Neymar was probably the last truly skillful player of this generation.
although guardiola is indirectly to be blamed but more than guardiola i will blame the new set of managers who are simply trying to copy his style of play rather than creating their own if we think about klopp at liverpool with salah and mane or Ole at united with greenwood and rashford or mourhino at real madrid with ronaldo and benzema they played "anti guardiola" football to challenge him (i know Ole is not on same level as klopp and mou but I'm just giving an example) meanwhile if we see the current set of managers like ten hag at united, arteta at arsenal, foncesca at milan, kompany at burnley and bayern, maresca at chelsea, thiago motta at juve almost all of them are trying to copy a similar playstyle like pep rather than creating their own counter tactic pep is a genius manager he knows which player needs freedom and which doesn't, he gave freedom to messi at barca, muller at bayern but also restricting player like grealish but other don't you cannot expect rashford to play possession based football, he is a fast player who can provide width and beat his man
I heard people say that about old school strikers with the rise in false 9s. However, with the rise in highlines and short cb, they eventually came back in the form of Haaland Osimhen, etc. I'm one to believe that with the defensive abilities of fullbacks decreasing(trent,cancelo,Zinchenko,ben white davies etc.)old school high risk wingers will come back. Even pep knows this. That's why he signed Haaland, and that's why he's signing direct wingers like doku and Savio again. To take advantage of modern-day weaknesses of some positions and tactics
It’s hard to say that pep is most responsible when the next sentence you name Doku, a pep signing, as one of the guys who is a “traditional winger” The death of the number 10 is a huge factor, I agree with that, guys like Grealish, foden etc, would have been number 10s 20 years ago. Like all sports, analytics have taken over. It’s all about pressing numbers, how much you’ve run, % chances of goals created (that’s why people don’t cross into the box that much anymore from deep because statistics tell you it’s an inefficient way of attacking) All that stuff is great but if you have a David Beckham crossing from deep, I don’t care what the %s say he’s a special talent when it comes to that and a smart coach will use that to his advantage Last season was the lowest amount of FKs scored in a PL season - because statistically it’s an inefficient way of scoring, more teams are crossing But there’s just something about a 50yard Robert Carlos rocket that a cross can’t replace
Why do people try to gaslight us into thinking that Pep destroyed Grealish when he's a manager that legitimately brings out the best in his players think of it, Lionel Messi, Leroy Sane, Raheem Sterling

Cough lamine yamal
Rafael Leao, Doku, Musiala, Vinicius, Mbappe, Kvaratskhelia
Only countable players nowadays like the above have that flair and traits of OG winger.

for me, Jamal Musiala is a treat to watch
Thank god someone’s finally talking about how Pep has taken the joy out of the beautiful game!!!

Everyone says that

Ben white lol he’s an excellent defensive fullback ,don’t let those short fail lie to you
Very good video but you need to put 1080p60
You know there is a team called real Madrid that is relying only on wingers
NONI MADUEKE will be the torch 🔥
For entertaining, EFFICIENT WINGERS 💙🙏🏾
Don’t think it’s Pep that destroyed Grealish, it’s the lifestyle he follows, can’t be a professional athlete and have his lifestyle
It’s hard to say that pep is most responsible when the next sentence you name Doku, a pep signing, as one of the guys who is a “traditional winger”

Last season was the lowest amount of FKs scored in a PL season - because statistically it’s an inefficient way of scoring, more teams are crossing

Saka is unskilled?
He is prime example of modern winger, efficient and hardworking.
show me a clip of saka beating 3 defenders
there needs to be a jose mourinho who goes anti pep to bring the skilfull wingers back
Football has fell off
