Stop capping. Different sides have been successfully using the Cruyff method or a version of it. Van gaal did it, Wenger copied from it, Rijkkard used it at barca to great success as well, Spanish team copied it and have been successfully ever since. Without Cruyff implementing it at la masia, you won't have enjoyed the success you got over the last two decades.

Van Gaal did it and achieved what? Rijjkard and tiki taka? Arsene, with all due respect didn't implement it as good... In fact, it'll literally be referred to as passing the ball around compared to Pep's football. The Spanish team were Barcelona players simply replicating the same thing they learnt.


Take it or take it... Pep made it relevant

While Pep was getting sacked by Bayern Munich, the greatest team of all time was winning the toughest trophy in Club football (UCL) back to back for 3 years! And 6 times in 10 years !!!

But I suppose you know that already...you just want want to enjoy your delulu.

Whatever makes you sleep better at night, enjoy it

Getting sacked by Bayern?

Brother, are you living in a parallel world OR you just want to be part of the convo? 😂

Kimbeast:
Pep didn't invent any style. Stop accrediting it to him. He got it from Cruyff. Pep is just a disciple of Cruyff like van gaal etc

You might have to point out where you saw me mention that he invented it.

That aside.. Cruyff had many disciple who took on that invention, yet none perfected it as much as Pep. In fact, it's safe to say that it's possible nobody would remember if such a thing as Cruyff philosophy still exists if not for Pep

Sportsweb:
which pedigree he get way Carlo Anceloti doesn't have when he got chased away ?

On how he went trophyless, Roman will fire him ASAP.

Carlo did not make the world change the way they play the game... Pep did. Created the greatest team of all time and that alone will keep Roman believing every single time. Carlo just does his thing and that's it. In fact... He would be more than grateful that a coach like that was his team's manager, and worship the very ground Pep walks on.

Pep is UNSACKABLE. The earlier everyone recognizes that, the better for all of us.

Sportsweb:
I don't about others, but Roman Abrahamovic of Chelsea will sack Pep Guardiola in that first season he finished trophyless.

Again, I am telling you... He won't. His pedigree before coming to Chelsea alone that time would buy him time...

There has never been one like that bald man and anybody... Just anybody would change their narrative or style to suit him.

He's that omnipotent to football.

monerozi5590:
The season before Pep the cheque book manager came to City. City reached the UCL semis. Tell us what happened with Pep City in his first three seasons in Europe with City?

Does it matter?

After then, he's gotten to a final and won one.

So.. what's your point?

monerozi5590:
Pep is having it very comfortable at City. He is going into his 9th year as a City manager with only one UCL to show for and he is comparing him to Carlo that has won times 3 with Real Madrid with less time spent.

He's doing it with City, a club that obviously wouldn't even think of being European favorites even if they spend more billions and another coach as the head. The continual winning of the PL consecutively alone is enough for him to have a life contract at any club in England as a whole... After all, even the so called great that spent eternity there only has 3 UCL to show for it and nobody batted an eye.

Sportsweb:
Roman will sack Pep in his first season after that poor start

There is no club or owner in this world that can sack Pep and that's on period. The same way that there's no team in the world that he will apply to coach and the clubs won't consider sacking whoever is there at the moment just to bring him in, even if the coach has won 3 UCLs in a row. He's established himself as a god in the game and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

The thought of what he can do with the team even when they are not winning is enough to continually buy more time till he's tired and want to leave.

andrewbaba44:
Vinicius is the biggest threat from Madrid

Then Bellingham when playing as a false 9 ,he helped them win the league last season

The rest na vibes and Insha allah

Ancelotti tactics is Vinicus. Anything else is just what lucks gives him and his team

Endrick day warm up like who serious

Salah... Your papa

Mbappe don die today 😂😂😂😂

jpmoriarti:
I don't think Ansu played against Red Star Belgrade 🤔 He was an unused substitute. Quite unfortunate for him

Oh. Must be the match before that then.

Frankie De Jong should start seeking for life outside Barcelona.

jpmoriarti:
Why didn't Ansu Fati get a nod in that RW? Hansi Flick should give that boy more starting opportunities.

Yes Fermin Lopez scores goals but is he adept at playing on the wings?

I'll not be surprised that moving forward, Fermin plays more as a winger than a midfielder. I've seen Flick introduce him to that position and switch Raph back to the 10 position.

Ansu would need a lot of things to get back into this team, although I noticed a sense of sharpness against Belgrade

Ijustwantto:
cubarsi sef, I don't think he'll play after getting ten stitches. When I saw his cheek at training, he swell like puf puf
But dis one wey some of our big players won't be starting..................🥺

Na only Yamal no play. Let's see how we fare

Beautiful strike!!!


Nice goal from Neto

Chelsea na BASCARD team sha. Look at such shambolic defending

raumdeuter:
Make we no lie. This game is boring and mediocre

Very bang average

Derumklala12:
We ate flipping cooked man
Yamal is not playing olmo isn't Dominguez starting martin starting.

I'm getting PTSD man

Have you seen the official lineup yet?

oliverano:
David was key when Lile won the league ahead of PSG. He's just going under the radar like Olmo. That guy is a leader in work rate up front and he score goals too. He's giving me Etoo vibes.

We should absolutely go for David!

Exactly

oliverano:
Yes on the eyes, Gryokores looks better than David and I agree with you but I'm also afraid of big money signings.

In the last 20years or thereabout, there are just two big money signings who succeeded here and that's Suarez and Neymar. The rest failed or didn't live up to the expectations. They include but not limited to;

Dejong(75m), Grizeman(120m), Zlatan(more than 100m if you add the value of Etoo because he joined for 70m and Eto was better and should be worth more), Demblele(148), Coutinho(105m rising to 142m).

If Gryokores is coming for 100m, it's a huge red flag and we should allow another club take him. However if it's for the reported 60m then we should be all over him.

Lewy is still here till next season that's when he'll officially run down his contract and I think David can learn from him and play some games. If he(David) fails then we can get a smart big money move. Stikers go dey, I believe!

David will be a very smart free signing but Gryokores at 60m is a great market opportunity not just for Barca but for other teams. I hope we get him but not for 100m because we're yet to truly recover from our financial mismanagement!

In all these.. "Looks better" is just the catchphrase. Doesn't mean he's better though. David is that kind of player that simply embodies everything that guy can give us, and that too... For free.

It's not brainer that we should overlook that for Viktor who's just making waves in topflight football. David is way more tested and trusted, and even younger. This guy even won the league against the regular farmers back then, playing a pivotal role.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Flick system has shown that you don't necessarily need a speed monster in your defense. Just have positional awareness and watch the opposition attackers fall for the offside trap

And you forget that moving forward, teams would be coming against us with the mindset on how to exploit the high line... Pace and strength would have to cover when we meet a striking force that knows exactly how to hold their runs and outpace others. If someone like Erling who's literally never offside and has a KDB begin him with those precise runs and passes in sync face us, we'd have to do more than just play offside... Araujo would be so pivotal for that.

Of course, Araujo would not just walk into the team. He has A WHOLE LOT to do.

Kilishihunter:
He's good but imo I think it's better we should break the bank for gyokeres who's more complete, we even have the options of using trincao's future sell on fee or giving them roque to replace him as our options, gyokeres is better all round, don't get me wrong chief David is also a good striker and would save us money since he's likely to be a free agent next year but if we're going to replace a world class striker like lewy who's heading to 37 it should be one who's also very clinical, I like him cause he's also quite involved in the team's play instead of mostly waiting in the box for chances

How's he more complete? The hype on David is just low, doesn't make Viktor better.

andrewbaba44:
Man cannot even beat Diego someone ,needed a own goal to beat girona ,Lmao

He use to be my guy but not anymore with his long mouth

Same here. He was lucky that Araujo happened though. MSN simply made him relevant.

andrewbaba44:
MSN really give this Enrique career

I'm so glad the MF got humbled. Everyone can see how average he really is.

Awesome01:
Monaco will be thanking God now for meeting Barca during our poor form.

Eric Garcia really hurt us in that match.

MATS hurt us. Eric just took the fall for it.

Derumklala12:
So you said they're equal but one has something the other doesn't.. bullying defenders. Which is what makes a great nine.
Na false 9 no Sabi bully. Come on man.. I never even see the hype behind Jonathan. Be like I'll go watch some clip

If one can do it better, doesn't mean the other can't. It's just a case of Suarez and Lewy case. One is a bigger bully than the other.

You really should watch them
