In the grand scheme of the game as a whole, Pep's influence has completely taken the flair out of the game. We really don't have any players that are allowed to showcase their individual talent like Ronaldinho, Zidane, Messi, Ronaldo, Henry, Zlatan, or anyone wanting to take on an entire defense. Seeing so many back passes and just overall passes without risk is boring as hell. Having to watch wingers receive the ball and not take on a defender but turn around and pass back makes the game not fun anymore. We also don't see as many shots from outside of the box, unless its a free kick. Pep has now turned 500 passes between both teams into like 1500 between both, and not a whole lot has improved as far as technical ability. It's definitely more pure running, but only really to get into position to keep passing. It's so sad to see the transformation that football has taken, from the insanely fun and unpredictable 00's-10's to now the boring, mechanical 10's-20's.
Nonesense! Of the hundreds of pros who were contemporaries of all the flair players you name dropped, the majority of them were regular guys who didn't have the talent, skill, ability, or tactical greenlight to go on mazy runs against multiple defenders or markers, multiple times in a game. That is the very reason why the brilliant dribblers are so celebrated. The crafty creators were always rare. The best coaches found ways to allow those attackers to showcase their ability while helping the team. As time marches on, the game has become more organized and tactics oriented. Players and their roles have constantly evolved. At different periods of time, different tactics dominated. Pep's style has been copied because it delivers success. Back in the day, the classic target man was the dominant Center Forward.... now that profile of center forward doesn't exist even if a player has the physique.... the demands of center forwards have evolved over the decades, no longer could he just be a poacher in the 6 yard area... center forwards have to run the channels, drift wide, come short, run in behind. Same goes for the traditional winger who used to operate on the same flank as his dominant foot, gallop towards the byline to whip crosses into the box. Now, inverted wingers are the trend. Still able to dribble yet with the majority carrying greater goal scoring threat than the majority of traditional wingers of bygone eras. The reality is that a lot of what people romanticized don't positively impact the game as often as the proponents believe.... so while the occasional worldie from 40 yards is celebrated, the truth is that 98% of shots from that distance don't even test the goalkeeper. There are still supremely creative attackers and world-class dribblers.... in the game and under Pep. The key difference is that they operate in specific zones and under certain circumstances.... which increases their efficiency. Coaches and players want to win. They will adopt what works. They have to find a balance between achieving their objectives and still entertaining fans of the sport. Fans also have to understand and accept that there are cycles in the game, styles, and tactics rise, mature, and then eventually evolve or fade out of popularity.
The claim that Pep Guardiola has "ruined" football is a polarizing one, often debated among fans and pundits. Critics may argue that his tactics-such as the emphasis on possession, high pressing, and playing out from the back-have made the game overly technical, sometimes slower, and less reliant on traditional excitement like direct attacking or long-ball play. This has led to some teams trying to imitate his methods without necessarily having the right players or balance, which some claim makes the game less dynamic. On the flip side, Guardiola is widely praised for revolutionizing football tactics, inspiring many coaches, and elevating the game to a more sophisticated level. His teams, like Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Manchester City, have played some of the most beautiful, coordinated football in modern history, with a focus on technical skill and teamwork. Rather than "ruining" football, Guardiola has arguably shifted its tactical landscape. Whether this is good or bad largely depends on individual preferences for style and entertainment.
Correct. That is the problem. Why should Pep be crucified because he has his own style and approach to football. Other managers are just copycats! That is why other than Pep, only Klopp and Ancelotti are the managers I respect.
I wouldn't say Pep Guardiola has ruined football. In my eyes, he has revolutionized football with his strict positional play. Obviously, that means that players especially wingers will have to be more disciplined during build-up play. However, under Pep especially after he went to Bayern and now at Man City, wingers have the freedom to express themselves technically when City have the ball in the final third. If you look at past seasons, wingers like Sterling, Sane, Mahrez had the freedom to dribble and cut-in and have a shot at goal (once City had settled in their controlled possession). However, Pep's barca was a bit different in how Pep used his wingers. He used them as a decoy to create space for the false 9 (Messi) and the attacking mids (iniesta, thiago). I'd say, Pep adjusted his philosophy on wingers once he became Bayern Munich manager. He went from using wingers as decoys to getting them more involved in 1v1s with the opposition full-back.
I find it rather fun that Pep is considered to ruin football when he learned the players to think and play smart. I find those Brazilian players that just dribble a nightmare. So stupid and so frustrating to watch.
When someone finds dribbling a nightmare you know they should be watching anything but football especially the boring football of Man City passing that ball around for 80 minutes after scoring a goal.
@@smelly1060 That would be perfect. Italian's defense used to be really agressive. It still like that, but just not the same intensity. Bastoni and Tomori are amazing.
There will still be room for individualism, some of the greatest managers in the world couldn't teach Messi, Ronaldino, Ronaldo and the greats what they do. When every inch of grass is accounted for these guys are the difference. Tactics just let the framework that allow mere mortals to take to the pitch without getting their back sides handed to them.

Pep style is so predictable. Often caught by counter attacks because you can't make any single mistake which is impossible. That's why man city can't maintain a clean sheet in their matches

Click bait title! The video answers itself. This is a cycle. Pep's brand of tactics hasn't ruined football. In every single one of his squads, he has had very quick, direct, tricky, creative attackers, specifically wingers/wide forwards who are encouraged to express themselves within certain parameters/circumstances; just like any other system or style of football which embraces attacking. Y'all have romanticized the game a bit too much. Minnows defeating the giants of the game have always been rare, few & far between. Most times, the big sides with the best talents have been the clubs to dominate league and cup competitions domestic and continental. Amazing dribblers who entertained yet were effective have always been at a premium. That type of attacker still exist in the modern game. With Pep's success emerging around the same time as improved data collection and stats, those who want to win have attempted to replicate Pep's tactics. Pep detractors conveniently ignore the many pros that accompany Pep's brand; the rise in expectation of technical proficiency of Goalkeepers, fullbacks and defensive midfielders.... All things that has improved the standard of the game.
With or against? Doubt he'll ever coach Leverkusen. Xabi Alonso's style is partially inspired by Guardiola, but he focuses more on creating spaces, than just ball possession.
