Yeah i saw every game last saison including all cl games. The zdm position is the key long balls into the middle (haaland). I love this Team all are delivering i think for myself;) ps: Haaland scores 5 today:)
It's not that...he has a better grasp on the history of football than any other manager in the world. The box midfield? WM. The false 9? Hidekguti and Sindelaar. Playing two fullbacks and a CB as a sweeper? Cruyff's Barça. The guy loves football history, and that is shown in his tactics. That's his biggest strength
@@cityofeverything but in pep's case it is a tactic tho. Pep is very controlling, so this more of a tactical shift rather than Stones naturally doing this himself. Playstyle would fit someone like Gabriel Jesus, who would only shoot only when his dribbling creates an easy way to goal. Pep thought he could play him like Aguero but that trait of his would stress Pep out, so he got rid of him
However it’s very easy to beat Pep, stay in the game, they just like to play with your mentality make you loose ur cool, force you to mark them, if they can’t brake ur defensive system and ur mind you will be able to beat them.. Madrid nd Tottenham done it very easy. Yes I hate city style of football is boring…
City football style is boring? 😂. And do remember that when Madrid beat city, City was still weak because for obvious reason (different Players). Instead, it was Madrid playing style that was boring right now, lots of intercepted passes, lots of bad passes, most of the time it was only about individual skill. City would win 100% vs Madrid because city has more depth in their playsystem, Im even up for a bet 😂
@@aditrighteous9677 city had all of their players in the second leg except stones, madrid didn't have courtois, tchuameni militao, alaba and they didnt even have a proper striker
I will probably get lost in the comment section and might not be able to come back. But… Do you happen to speak Portuguese? The way you pronounce Akanji sounds so Brazilian ❤ I was born in Brazil, but have lived most of my life in Japan.
Honestly I don't get how Akanji starts over Walker. Walker can play as a really solid centre-back and an amazing full back. I also don't get how Grealish starts over Foden considering how good Foden has been lately.
Akanji is more defensive and is great with the ball at his feet and I think Pep wanted someone who’ll think defensive first and Phil was hurt for some time during the season and didn’t have the form to play in those big games
this tactic is absolutely genius i see why he won the ucl and broke magic

Rodri is the Heart of their team
The guy is so ahead of everyone else no wonder why other manager are copying him

@@nathanhosea489i’ve always loved cruyff as a player and manager he was so revolutionary
@@Abeahdieheoidjdhksowwjjw At least 70% of the tactics we see today are because of the genius of that man and his mentor Michels.
This team was something else
This tactic isnt New, its called a libero stones is basically a libero like Beckenbauer at the 70s
libero isnt a tactic, its a playstyle... a playstyle for 1 player in the team... that 1 player/playstyle is only 1 part of a whole system

That is why Manchester city is so good
Silva is just top class
The biggest form of flattery is copying and Klopp and Ten Hag, managing City’s biggest rivals, are now deploying defenders in midfield.

Take three 3 keys players out of city squad, luton town can destroy them.. I’m not even mentioned new castle…yeah I hate city, I hate Barcelona
@@young-castperez7102 The same goes for Madrid, take out Belingham, Vini, Kroos and let's see what they can do
@@aditrighteous9677 city had all of their players in the second leg except stones, madrid didn't have courtois, tchuameni militao, alaba and they didnt even have a proper striker
İt's much better than this season's tactic
Mental how 19 years ago Pep turned down signing for city because they were that sh*t 😂
😂

He started with akanji because inter didnt have a player like vini jr a true winger so he played akanji he is taller and more defensive
Akanji will always start. He is now doing what Stones used to do.
good thing you arent the coach then because you clearly dont know ball, besides, didnt he win treble with akanji and grealish?
@@onlyragz look like I was right
😂 bro thinks his found out peps tactics
