Simple. You hit him over the head with a large stick. Pep, being extremely bald, is particularly susceptible to head shots. He's lived a life of luxury for many years so it's unlikely that he can fight. He shouldn't be too hard to beat.
Jon said that Liverpool actually lost 1 game fewer than city whilst having close to double the games with positive xGd. Now I find this way more remarkable and I'd love to see an in depth analysis of how Klopp can consistently beat the odds.
finer players execute low quality chances better, that and the absurd amount of pressure klopp's team puts others under forces them to make mistakes. it's a risky play style that the numbers can't measure (yet) and only shows up on the field.
Pretty sure the answer lies in Salah being an absurd finisher of low xG chances, and Alison being the best 1v1 goalkeeper in the world. Which means Liverpool routinely play in a way that exposes Alisson to normally pretty good xG situations for their opponents, but they back him to make the save. Whereas Salah does the opposite. Also worth mentioning I think the quality (even if not so much last season) of TAA’s cross and set piece delivery. Normally crosses have a fairly low xG because they’re not a typically great way of creating chances, but when you’re dealing with a guy who can put the ball EXACTLY where you want it as a striker, I would say it changes the fundamentals of the chance without actually changing the xG expectation I would imagine.
I remember Pochettino caused the most problems for man city when he was at spurs especially in those famous champions league matches. In his first season, Tuchel also won against man city 3 times! Tuchel's and Poch's tactical approaches might've deserved a decent analysis as well
@@Ditiro100 the same is true for every other manager! Tuchel's and Poch's wins were epic in the ucl final against chelsea, man city didn't have a single shot on target! that's epic
Poch actually didn't have great records against Pep except those 2 UCL matches. 5:38 Can be seen from that stat, he only won once in the prem. Spurs' Conte had bigger win rate against Pep than Poch.
The formation guardiola has lost most against is 3-4-3, reason, it offers 4 to 5 central midfielders which disrupt his central midfielders, and when pressed, it tends to become 5 or 6 at the back which completely stifles city Remember, he beat Chelsea 2-1 deservedly but lost 2-1 in the second leg goal coming from debrurunes free kick Difference 433 vs 343 in second leg
Also, in Tuchel's last Chelsea game vs City, he started out playing a 3-5-2 and City were dominant because they drooped Silva alongside Rodri and they controlled the team, but after Tuchel switched to a 3-4-3, Chelsea were the better team
John Mackenzie is one of the best things to happen to Tifo football -- his ability to explain in-depth topics and willingness to dive into the details is simply wonderful.
Playing Pep reminds me of the IRA quote about assassinating Maggie Thatcher - 'we only need to get lucky once, you need to get lucky every time'. Pep's players so rarely make mistakes, whilst opposition players do. Even when the managers tactically foil Pep, their players will make mistakes and City will punish them, City only need to get lucky once. Arsenal suffered this in the loss at the emirates last year, until that Tomiyasu mistake Arsenal were nullifying City pretty comfortably.
Only thing that can cancel players that rarely make mistakes are other players that rarely make mistakes like prime Liverpool. Since you would have to be almost flawless in order to have no player dribble past you for an entire season
Not necesarily... you can also force players to make mistakes. When Spurs beat City under Poch we pressed the life out of them. When City went to Anfield they were often visibly on edge... Sterling especially. but generally speaking, ensuring you are water tight, remove space from CM and counter is the way to beat pep. @@samkelorashuza5949
+1 for a reference to the people trying to do the Lord's work and send Maggie T back to hell. Also, for an amazingly apt description of playing against Pep.
What a masterpiece. Tour de Jon. Love the stat regarding his 13% loss ratio. In a game as noisy as football, that must be quite close to what 'perfection' actually is.
funny thing is Ole used to beat pep for fun. he did it in such an obvious way as well. deep block which was a 5-2-1-2 out of possession(therefore counteracting citys front five) and it be came a 3-4-1-2/3-4-3 in attack. he beat city home and away in the 19/20 season and united looked ridiculously comfortable in the process.
Ole counterattacking was probably the best way to do it and maybe the most similar to what Spurs were doing. Mad that Dan James was an absolute lynchpin of that system. On the flip side though, I remember a pretty horrendous 2-0 (21/22 season?) where United played a back 5 and got mangled by the false 9. Not helped by Bailley being an absolute character, but I remember their out of possession structure got shredded and there was no clear out ball in the wide channels. Agree with you though, couterattacking from mid/deep has been the most successful system against City in recent years (especially with inferior players).
A lot of Ole beating Pep was also down to pep looking at other fixtures over united at that time aswell. And one of those "wins" was worthless cuz it was an aggregate loss in the cup
@@GermanChickenwing I don't know how many times. However, the title of the video is "How to beat Pep Guardiola". It's not about, for example, "why does Pep win so much"? So I suggest Tuchel's 3 wins in a row deserves at least a mention. Don't be emotional about it please..
he ran away to bayern after schooled by city and again got schooled by city with Bayern. he is just a bus parker. not a coach. his Bayern is playing sh*** football
What a beautiful demonstration on the importance of "Out of possession" stuffs in football which is the most necessary for a top team :) Expecting more videos on the same. Excellent work TiFo Team.
Who knew if you gave a generational manager an unlimited budget and the club carte blanche to sign anyone in the world that he wanted, that they would win?
It used to be simple: He used to have a weak soft-underbelly due to trying to have every player a ball player so his defence was weak if you did long/quick ball to speedy strong strikers who can hit if they make a mistake while being solid block in defence creating tension in his team trying to attack but knowing a mistake will cost them. Now? He's modified his personnel... solid defenders. Strong striker to capitalise on big chances and put more pressure pushing defences back (Haaland) while still being solid with the ball and creation and control. Looking at all the other big teams: Real, Barca, Napoli/Milan, Bayern, PSG, Liverpool, Arsenal... I'm thinking there's few of even those that would out-perform Man City and feel Liverpool and Real alone might be disruptive enough to beat them with higher chance but still not be favourites? Sure Arsenal won recently and did out play but I think they're still short up front to really hurt City... Real still have a few players up front who can do damage despite run of play for another example but even then they lack a lethal striker as well.
Pep has the most deep analysis on this show and other ones. Idk i feel like if i was a PL coach i would watch this. At this point I feel like they are trying to help them out so we can get parity again. Pep really turned the Prem into a Farmers league 😂. As a City fan it's crazy to see so much effort being put into how to beat us.
The whole city hierachy, the staffs and the playing staffs with the best manager in the world creates a very very good system to become a massive football club. SO in a way to beat Man City you have to beat it on the field(not off it since there is no way to do that) and that means you have to beat the best tactical manager ever. THat is why it is interesting for TIFO to make this content. ANd trust me so many effort is put into how to beat you guys is because you guys are just super good and the top dog.
@akiraaoiichigo I'm not feeling salty lmao, credit to pep and city, but I was just highlighting how ironic it was for a city fan to be talking about Newcastle cheating mate
One point which is often not talked about enough is that you need to have possesion phases. You need to keep possesion and not only hoof it long and give instantly back to city. Because even if you defend perfectly an opposition will always get chances. If you let them attack for nonstop 90 minutes at one point a longshot or blocked pass/shoot goes to someone in the box and he scores
It's ridiculous that in all of this analysis you didn't cover or use as an an example Ole's Manchester United. Say what you want to say about Ole but one thing that's true is his team beat Man City's Pep more times than Pep beat his team. Its shocking that you would then spend so much time talking about the losing tactics of Inter and not even a second talking about the winning tactics of Ole
Nothing really changed, you need to play like Mourinho's Inter in 2010, compact in defense, quick in counterattacks, efficient in the box. IMHO it's the most (only ?) reliable way.
In our prime we were better at not losing but City were better at winning if that makes sense in 18/19 season we lost 1 game in prem for example where as City lost 4 and still won title and 19/20 where Liverpool won title Liverpool lost 3 games where as City lost 9 even in our injury crisis season we only lost 3 more games than Man city.
4:16 that's what happened to Newcastle on the weekend, at the start the pressed really well but Pep pushed his full backs up and took Gordon and Almiron out of the press so it just left city with domination of possession.
Well that also excludes united, Chelsea and liverpool then. Might as well add madrid barca and psg. Surely you're not naive enough to think that only one club has shady practices
@@bluemoon1716 Pep has not managed PGS or Chelsea. There is black on white proof of ManC willingly and knowingly cheating. The only reason the got away is because they had stuck in a "you cant punish us for stuff older than five years ago"-clause in there first time, when they provably had cheaten the next time it was to late. and now there is 120+ new cases. They win because of a spinless organisation and tons of lawyers. To say ManC dont cheat is like saying OJ did nothing wrong.
They marked Haaland, it is just that he can convert some low xG chances last season (he well overperformed his xG). However, this season, Haaland's conversion rate is a bit lower due to form (iirc same goals as xG).
The way arsenal recently beat them is pretty much the only chance a decent team has against them. Tight, tactical, disciplined and get a late goal ..smaller teams don't have any chance.
I mean, all this comes back to "for his whole career as a manager, Pep has had a more talented squad than pretty much every team he faces." Being better than them generally is therefore really rare. Given that his teams are "consistency" teams rather than "rise to the occasion" teams means that being better than them on that day is also going to be very rare. Because they're so uniformly good across the field, taking one thing away will always open up another thing that they can take advantage of. You have to commit to whatever it is you want to do against them and hope for some good fortune.
This is more about how to stop them and not beat them. I would like to see how to attack them effectively and win, rather than stoping them from scoring
This guys has changed so much from the first video he made.. So much more relaxed .. he is brilliant.. but not as fun as JJ but the balance is slightly better
You play give and go's (one twos) in passing triangles, how wenger did in Wengerball but you switch the play to the full back or winger often for transition football. Always double up on rodri when pressing, set your CAM on rodri to man mark him out the game when you don't have the ball. Also, target the side that Kyle Walker doesn't cover, i.e. Man City's left hand side
Pep spent several years buying 40-50 million pound defenders, with mixed success until he got on a roll, stockpiled four of the best cente backs in the world and finally won the Champions League with Man C. It's hardly inspiring.
City are not even in the top 5 within the premier league in terms of net loss on transfer fees. It is delusional to say that Pep is buying his achievements.
Four of the best CBs in the world? Didn't know Dias, Stones, Ake and Akanji were considered the best CBs in the world when City went for them 😂 Stones struggled for years at City and had a career reset since the arrival of Dias. City got Ake from a relegated Bournemouth and Akanji for peanuts since no one wanted him. Even Dias wasn't City's first choice. City wanted Koulibaly and then Kounde before proceeding with Dias. These weren't world class buys but buys which were smart and with Pep's management, became world class.
I have yet to hear anyone say that when City signed Ake from Bournemouth that he was a world class defender. He became one under Pep, now he's a regular on the team sheet and a nailed on starter for the Dutch.
Imho, City were weak mentally in the UCL final. I think that led to worse stats for them especially at the end of the game... Experience breeds confidence and belief and then performance goes up eg Real winning UCL multiple times (along with a cushy league). So expect City if they do get to another final would perform better but Haaland seems dipping in form atm is a minor worry...
@akiraaoiichigo I disagree: He clearly missed high chance shots on goal irrespective of marking and has carried on doing that this season until his latest game against ManU.
its just like basketball. you have 2 approaches. you out-possess him and force his defense to work, tire them out, and bury the chances that you will get. or emphasiize defense, man marking dangerous creative playmakers while forcing others to make decisions, creating turnovers in play, and getting out on breaks and running to eat up yardage to get as close to the box as possible, and possessing from there.
I mean, easy. Stop giving him the best players money can buy with infinite money. Like he’s a good coach but the man has never struggled to get quality players. I’d love to see what he’d do with a Burnley. Don’t think it’d look so pretty
initially i would have said Mourinho but to beat pep u have to use the strength which is possession and turn it against them to a no settle possession. inter , Liverpool does this to city
@@awangandas1700 yeah you arw right. But its always the ancelottis and mourinhos that beat pep in the biggest match,when pep uses 1000 percent of his brain.
Guardiola is the godfather of the beautiful game. Modern day game management is all about changing the situation and in game management. Teams like Man united and ten hag have a lot to learn from them. No wonder man city is the best In Business today.
give de zerbi money if you want to outplay pep. he outplayed him last season away but losing caicedo, maccalister and estupinan through injury that team cant do a lot. or try klopp way. fight quality with quality. salah scares the living hell out of them and quality or just have son and kane in your own team. 3 up top is a must, you got to scare them on counter
Frankly, I think this video conveniently overlooks the fact that Guardiola has had, in each of his seasons at City, one of the top 3 rosters in the PL. His quality as a coach is undeniable, and he is also, clearly, good at developing and utilizing players. But I also don't think any other coach in the world has been given as big of a blank check as he has been given this past decade besides maybe Zidane who, surprise, won 3 CL titles.
@@Fals3-Wing3r even if that were true (and I doubt it) Manchester City still has the second most expensive squad in the world, just behind Arsenal and far ahead of third place, and they've been in the top positions for every succesful Guardiola year. City knows how to spend - they also spend more than 99% of teams. And in any case, knowing how to spend doesn't depend on Guardiola, which is my whole point. There's an entire infrastructure and team of people supporting him at football operations that don't get nearly enough credit for the team's success as they should, because everythinf we focus on is Guardiola and his "genius".
watch the 2 legs of Real vs Bayern in 2013 and you have your answer.. Carlo put on a master class and Bayern were left clueless lol. the key is not to compensate or to compensate NATURALLY.. also falling into his traps need to be avoided. I'd go for a diamond and mark zonally that way you can mitigate his use of space much easier than defending traditionally. also youd need 2 extremely intelligent fullbacks and strikers especially defensively because they will be key in regards to mitigating switches and rotations when he's exploiting your weak side which is another reason why i love the diamond against this. the diamond always acknowledges the weakside.. the issue is how efficiently can you mitigate it.
@@olaoluwafaleye4043 you get the drift, he always has a superstar on an already loaded team :). Messi was playing with a Spanish team dominating Euro scene for 6 straight years… how difficult it is then to lead Barca for victory?
Also would be nice to see pep take over a team which doesn't have the biggest money pot in the league, I would love to see how he would of got on at Liverpool and klopp at man city, little alternative universe
the way to beat pep has literally never changed going back to his prime Barca days. You have to be brave and press them extremely aggressively and then counterattack them ruthlessly because if you can get the ball from them they leave tons of space and peps teams have never been good at defending without the ball because they're so used to having it. they press well but if they have to defend deep they become quite poor. this is why klopp has beaten pep more times than pep has beaten klopp.
You can break down tactics all day. Any manager in the premier league can copy his tactics and instruct his wingers to stay wide and his midfielders to move into the channels to create numerical advantages and blah blah blah At the end of the day players win games by making plays and hes always had some or the best players. You cant coach how to beat defenders 1v1 like graelish and silva do on a regular basis. You cant coach the art of off the ball movement to strikers the way Haaland does. You cant coach intuitive defensive positining to defenders to defend like Dias and Stones. Its god given talent. Talent thats aquired with tons of money that most coaches dont have.
@@dragongamergames7728 Barca had best team on the planet back then with Messi leading the line. But could he had done it without Messi or Oil money? Doubt it…
Answer: Give him a normal team and not this crazy amount of money he spend the last years. Look at him in Bayern Munich: Had one of the best teams in Europe already, but failed to take them to the UCL-Finals.

Well that also excludes united, Chelsea and liverpool then. Might as well add madrid barca and psg. Surely you're not naive enough to think that only one club has shady practices
@@bluemoon1716 Pep has not managed PGS or Chelsea. There is black on white proof of ManC willingly and knowingly cheating. The only reason the got away is because they had stuck in a "you cant punish us for stuff older than five years ago"-clause in there first time, when they provably had cheaten the next time it was to late. and now there is 120+ new cases. They win because of a spinless organisation and tons of lawyers. To say ManC dont cheat is like saying OJ did nothing wrong.
At least mark Haaland😂 last season it seemed like the teams forgot that option.
They marked Haaland, it is just that he can convert some low xG chances last season (he well overperformed his xG). However, this season, Haaland's conversion rate is a bit lower due to form (iirc same goals as xG).
Awesome vid, thanks Jon! Not a fan of City or Guardiola, but thoroughly enjoyed this analysis
OH, OH, I KNOW THIS ONE;
Enforce FFP
Fin.
I like how he explained everything in detail,shows how hard ot is to beat city
Midfielders with pace and physical strength like Fede valverde partnered with Frankie de Jong would do the most damage vs city
The way arsenal recently beat them is pretty much the only chance a decent team has against them. Tight, tactical, disciplined and get a late goal ..smaller teams don't have any chance.
You also need to get rid of Rodri.
I mean, all this comes back to "for his whole career as a manager, Pep has had a more talented squad than pretty much every team he faces."
Being better than them generally is therefore really rare. Given that his teams are "consistency" teams rather than "rise to the occasion" teams means that being better than them on that day is also going to be very rare. Because they're so uniformly good across the field, taking one thing away will always open up another thing that they can take advantage of.
You have to commit to whatever it is you want to do against them and hope for some good fortune.
This is more about how to stop them and not beat them. I would like to see how to attack them effectively and win, rather than stoping them from scoring
No one mention of the man with the most encounters against him with the most wins against him and the only person with a positive record.
Dangerous long balls over the top of that high line defence with a fast and CLINICAL striker or forwards running in behind
This guys has changed so much from the first video he made.. So much more relaxed .. he is brilliant.. but not as fun as JJ but the balance is slightly better
Saw the title, checked the duration and it adds up
Where do I get those framed print shirts in the background? They r pretty coolio 😎
Great video only other thing I wanted to see analysis of 3 Tuchels wins over Guardiola in 2021.
Not much analysis to be had, I'm afraid. It was covid fluke, is all.
You play give and go's (one twos) in passing triangles, how wenger did in Wengerball but you switch the play to the full back or winger often for transition football. Always double up on rodri when pressing, set your CAM on rodri to man mark him out the game when you don't have the ball. Also, target the side that Kyle Walker doesn't cover, i.e. Man City's left hand side
Investigate his team for financial irregularities, then punish them for it. Next question!
"how do you actually beat pep guadiloa?" simple, you take his trucks of transfer cash away from him.
Ding ding ding!
Like hes the only one with trucks of cash. Use your truck of cash and beat him
Pep spent several years buying 40-50 million pound defenders, with mixed success until he got on a roll, stockpiled four of the best cente backs in the world and finally won the Champions League with Man C. It's hardly inspiring.
okay name me 5 flops from peps purchases
City are not even in the top 5 within the premier league in terms of net loss on transfer fees. It is delusional to say that Pep is buying his achievements.
Four of the best CBs in the world? Didn't know Dias, Stones, Ake and Akanji were considered the best CBs in the world when City went for them 😂
Stones struggled for years at City and had a career reset since the arrival of Dias. City got Ake from a relegated Bournemouth and Akanji for peanuts since no one wanted him. Even Dias wasn't City's first choice. City wanted Koulibaly and then Kounde before proceeding with Dias.
These weren't world class buys but buys which were smart and with Pep's management, became world class.
Bros yapping 💀
I have yet to hear anyone say that when City signed Ake from Bournemouth that he was a world class defender. He became one under Pep, now he's a regular on the team sheet and a nailed on starter for the Dutch.
Imho, City were weak mentally in the UCL final. I think that led to worse stats for them especially at the end of the game... Experience breeds confidence and belief and then performance goes up eg Real winning UCL multiple times (along with a cushy league). So expect City if they do get to another final would perform better but Haaland seems dipping in form atm is a minor worry...
@akiraaoiichigo I disagree: He clearly missed high chance shots on goal irrespective of marking and has carried on doing that this season until his latest game against ManU.
@@commentarytalk1446If you notice Firstly he didn't even had the ball. Now he's missing it all he needs is how to leave his markers
its just like basketball. you have 2 approaches. you out-possess him and force his defense to work, tire them out, and bury the chances that you will get. or emphasiize defense, man marking dangerous creative playmakers while forcing others to make decisions, creating turnovers in play, and getting out on breaks and running to eat up yardage to get as close to the box as possible, and possessing from there.
Someone share this with Big Ange pls 😂
Brentford beat City both home and away last season.... this was season they won the treble. Amazing
6-1
@@grsafran Huh? Brentford haven't lost 6-1
35 minutes trying to figure out were the notification noises were coming from, turned out to be the background music.
Excellent analysis!!..
I mean, easy. Stop giving him the best players money can buy with infinite money. Like he’s a good coach but the man has never struggled to get quality players. I’d love to see what he’d do with a Burnley. Don’t think it’d look so pretty
Which manager in the world would win a treble with burnley even ancelotti couldn't do much with everton
did you take into account when city wins with a negative xg ?
John is glowing, fresh skin game surely. Keep up the great content x
initially i would have said Mourinho but to beat pep u have to use the strength which is possession and turn it against them to a no settle possession. inter , Liverpool does this to city
How to beat Pep: Have more money than him and be a decent manager.
Man utd is richer. Chelsea is wealthy. Premier league clubs have mountains of cash. This money argument is sentimental and short sighted
Only managers whose approch is more based in the substance like ancelotti and mourinho beat pep. I guess its just a case of ideologies
It's the other way around. Pep has better h2h stats against Carlo and Jose. The only manager who always creat problems for pep is klopp
@@awangandas1700 yeah you arw right. But its always the ancelottis and mourinhos that beat pep in the biggest match,when pep uses 1000 percent of his brain.
@@fugaziishime to some extent, I can take Jose but not Ancelotti
@fugaziishime Ancelotti beat Pep once surely and that was just a mental capitulation on city's part, not an Ancelotti masterclass
@@Blip-qz9chCarlo trounced Bayern, when Pep coached them 4-0
Guardiola was really beaten in UCL final...inter really impressive,they were bad and unlucky infront of goal
But then you have to give him the wins against Spurs, Lyon etc...
Tuchel Implemented the same system in the CL final and away at the eitihad against Pep.
Ole won 3 games against City in like 2 years, with how things have been since then I'm wondering if he wasn't getting enough credit
Did you watch the last game?
Guardiola is the godfather of the beautiful game. Modern day game management is all about changing the situation and in game management. Teams like Man united and ten hag have a lot to learn from them. No wonder man city is the best In Business today.
Put him in charge of a team that doesn’t have unlimited funds, a world class football director, and/or peak Messi.
I hope Eric Ten Hag is watching this🥲🥲
So many of these teams who beat him don't win titles and it's a long season when you're team plays more games than anyone else.
Im just here for 30 minutes of that beat tbh
give de zerbi money if you want to outplay pep. he outplayed him last season away but losing caicedo, maccalister and estupinan through injury that team cant do a lot.
or try klopp way. fight quality with quality. salah scares the living hell out of them and quality or just have son and kane in your own team. 3 up top is a must, you got to scare them on counter
By giving the other 19 teams a way to cheat FFP too
Make him manage a club without a lot of funds
What software do you buys use to show the tactics?
"How do you actually beat Pep Guardiola?"
Pep: "You have to score the goal guys"
Frankly, I think this video conveniently overlooks the fact that Guardiola has had, in each of his seasons at City, one of the top 3 rosters in the PL. His quality as a coach is undeniable, and he is also, clearly, good at developing and utilizing players. But I also don't think any other coach in the world has been given as big of a blank check as he has been given this past decade besides maybe Zidane who, surprise, won 3 CL titles.
Shushh!! We don’t talk about pep’s spending and super squads!! His players are all morecambe players
Our best player right now was bought for less than 20m , not our fault y'all don't know how to spend
@@Fals3-Wing3r Lol under the table its 90+ more for each player. We all know city cheats its why they got 110 charges against em.
@@MajieB cry more
@@Fals3-Wing3r even if that were true (and I doubt it) Manchester City still has the second most expensive squad in the world, just behind Arsenal and far ahead of third place, and they've been in the top positions for every succesful Guardiola year. City knows how to spend - they also spend more than 99% of teams.
And in any case, knowing how to spend doesn't depend on Guardiola, which is my whole point. There's an entire infrastructure and team of people supporting him at football operations that don't get nearly enough credit for the team's success as they should, because everythinf we focus on is Guardiola and his "genius".
watch the 2 legs of Real vs Bayern in 2013 and you have your answer.. Carlo put on a master class and Bayern were left clueless lol. the key is not to compensate or to compensate NATURALLY.. also falling into his traps need to be avoided. I'd go for a diamond and mark zonally that way you can mitigate his use of space much easier than defending traditionally. also youd need 2 extremely intelligent fullbacks and strikers especially defensively because they will be key in regards to mitigating switches and rotations when he's exploiting your weak side which is another reason why i love the diamond against this. the diamond always acknowledges the weakside.. the issue is how efficiently can you mitigate it.
Where did you get that Cruyff jumper, that's class 👌👌
I bet there's something that makes Pep lose sleep about his management; something he hopes to high heavens that no other manager ever finds out.
IMO Pep is one of the GOAT managers, his career stats are insane and he has managed 2 of the most dominant teams in the world during their time.
Anyone can be dominant when you have Messi and Haaland lmao
@@vbdemystified709like dortmund coach had haaland was he dominant?
@@olaoluwafaleye4043 you get the drift, he always has a superstar on an already loaded team :). Messi was playing with a Spanish team dominating Euro scene for 6 straight years… how difficult it is then to lead Barca for victory?
@vbdemystified709 Coaches had Ronaldo who is an all time goal scorer but they were never as dominant especially when look at league statistics
The sooner Pep leaves city. The better for the league 😅
Keep crying
Roberto Di Matteo made Pep Leave us that awful Thursday in Camp Nou
easier said than done lads!
Also would be nice to see pep take over a team which doesn't have the biggest money pot in the league, I would love to see how he would of got on at Liverpool and klopp at man city, little alternative universe
the way to beat pep has literally never changed going back to his prime Barca days. You have to be brave and press them extremely aggressively and then counterattack them ruthlessly because if you can get the ball from them they leave tons of space and peps teams have never been good at defending without the ball because they're so used to having it. they press well but if they have to defend deep they become quite poor. this is why klopp has beaten pep more times than pep has beaten klopp.
@akiraaoiichigoThen City don't have the best defense but now it's stacked
You can break down tactics all day. Any manager in the premier league can copy his tactics and instruct his wingers to stay wide and his midfielders to move into the channels to create numerical advantages and blah blah blah
At the end of the day players win games by making plays and hes always had some or the best players. You cant coach how to beat defenders 1v1 like graelish and silva do on a regular basis. You cant coach the art of off the ball movement to strikers the way Haaland does. You cant coach intuitive defensive positining to defenders to defend like Dias and Stones. Its god given talent. Talent thats aquired with tons of money that most coaches dont have.
Give him a club with no oil money.
won the champions league with barcalona a club with no oil money
@@dragongamergames7728 Barca had best team on the planet back then with Messi leading the line. But could he had done it without Messi or Oil money? Doubt it…
Well he used to coach Bayern and they always came home empty handed in the UCL
The most insane stat from this video is that Klopp lost only ONE more game since they came to the prem!!
Answer: Give him a normal team and not this crazy amount of money he spend the last years. Look at him in Bayern Munich: Had one of the best teams in Europe already, but failed to take them to the UCL-Finals.
It was like 3 years and what or mourinho who couldn't do so to with a stacked madrid squad
Easy - give him a mid-table team.
Marching on together!
