The difference between Guardiola and Mourinho is:

Mourinho can easily take this Man City side to the Champions League Final too

But Guardiola can never take this Roma side to a Europa Final.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Just amateurs that don't know what they are saying. Mourinho spent loads of money in Manchester United and crashed the team. Mourinho coached a star-studded Real Madrid with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Higuain, Kaka, Ramos, Ozil, Di Maria etc, and never made the Champions league final.

It is easy to rant but when it comes to making points, it blows holes in weak statements.

Guardiola will use the squad of Roma team and win the seria a. It might take a season or two but he will win it. People underrate Pep's methods, but it is lethal to opponents. Every top coach now studies it, it has been run through simulators and its efficacy is unchallenged.

He transform German football? Sometimes I wonder if we are talking about the same football. it seems you don't understand what impactful means. Impactful as far as sports is concerned effectively means I made you achieve what you did not previously achieve. Bayern dominated their league before Guardiola, all he did was continue that tradition. As I have told you severally, learn to use words appropriately. cheesy grin.

Influence. Even De Zerbi is influenced by Pep Guardiola. Guardiola made it an art and many have studied his methods. Guardiola has books and videos and most of them, if not all of them are learning his methods. He changed the game.
oga football hv evolved and majority of coaches today either play gen gen pressing or tikitaka football

Stop making it seem like pep was the first to invent it. That was the same method that made Van Gaal to be highly regarded in world football. He won the ucl with a young and unknown Ajax team against star studded AC Milan in 1995 and made it to the finals of the same competition the next season but lost to juventus

Thank you bro... which means Pep invented his own tikitaka variety. But our man sha wan force it down our throat that anybody that plays tikitaka is one of Pep's students. grin
Pep perfected it by having the luxury of players that made it work during he’s time at barca

The reason why he goes all out to get highly skilled possession based players to any club he went

For tikitaka to work you need highly skilled and intelligent footballers starting from the goal keeper which is the main reason why ball playing goal minders are in high demand in this era

Pep was not even the one who started this tikitaka stuff. Arsenal Wenger did play something close during his time at Arsenal. Has Zerbi (Brighton's coach) ever worked with Pep before? We have a lot of coaches playing tikitaka and are not in anyway related to Pep.
The Dutch invented tiki taka which was called total football then. That was the tactics that made Ajax dominate In Europe in the 70s.

Dutch,Ajax and barca legend late johan cruyff was the one who brought to barca

This thread is like a beer parlour, do you have sense at all bro.

Look at the picture you posted, what's the average age of city players?

Majority are 30 years, that's the squad pep inherited, an old and weak squad filled with over weight players like Yaya Toure, Nasri, clichy.

The squad that finished 4 and qualified for UCL play off thanks to West Ham.

If not for West Ham beating man United on matchday 36, city would have finished 5th.

Since pep needs to coach mid table teams to be considered as a great manager, Kuku carry am go Crystal palace.

Nonsense.

Will you keep quiet my friend?

City finished the league in 4th place with 66points, same points with United but better goal difference.

He inherited an old squad, players like Zabaleta, Gael clichy, sagna, kolarov, toure were old and not fit.

He complained about Samir Nasri and Toure fitness, Nasri and Toure were over weight.

Joe hart wasn't his type of keeper(though signed Bravo who failed to adapt)
I repeat only KDB, Aguero, Sterling, David silver and maybe fernandinho were in top form.

Point of correction, Walker joined City in 2017.

The players he signed were average except Sane and Stones.

The Ethiad is always empty on champions league night and average on Epl match days.

Are you a teenager? Why are you always using the laughing Emojis?
wetin bring “will you keep quiet my friend”? Are you okay?

KDB can never bench any of the midfield trio. Diaz will get a reserve spot at most. Valdez over Ederson. Only Haaland get small chance.
haaland won’t get any chance then because that barca team operated better with a false 9.

Remember zlatan’s issues at barca and the major reason he left for AC Milan. He was just like haaland but better with the ball on he’s feet but still couldn’t make it at that barca team

You said pep will never coach a second favorite.

City struggled to qualify for UCL play off in 2015/16 season before pep joined them.

City are definitely not the first favourite for that pep first season.

Let's not forget that he inherited an old squad, with only KDB, Aguero and David silver being the only top players, the rest were not fit.
you said city struggled to do what before pep came?

A club that featured in the ucl for over 3-4 seasons with league trophies to boast of before pep’s coming were struggling?

U knw wetin be struggle? Ask arsenal fans they will explain more to you 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


So only Aguero,Silva and de bruyne were top for players city had when pep came? What about the likes of Yaya and Walker? City’s keeper then was among the best in the epl then . Players like clichy and zabaleta were still balling. What about Vincent Kompany and boateng?

Nawaoooo

Pep is a genius no doubt but sometimes em dey over do to make he’s counterpart look stupid and mediocre which bounces back on him

I remember watching the replay of the ucl finals between city and Chelsea, how on earth will a coach deploy a formation to a cup finals without a pronounced defensive midfielder? This mistake of he’s gave Kante the opportunity and room to seize the middle of the park single handedly that night and I must say the French midfield dynamo won that game for Tuchel and he’s team

Another is the ucl semis against Madrid in bernabeu, he was leading comfortably till the 70th minutes instead of to bring in more bodies to the midfield and defense to shut Madrid off from having a sniff of city’s 18 yard box he rather brought in more attackers 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Till this day I still can’t phantom the reason why he made such mistakes in important and dicey stage of the ucl

I honestly thought he'd just be in Roma as a transit job. But just negodu

It has not been one off so it's not luck. If he wins the finals he has nothing to prove to anyone

Portugal, Spain, England, Italy (×2)

If naso e easy make their favorites go try am.
same here, he’s tactical approach is not pleasing to the eyes but he is one coach who is set out to win your club the unthinkable if given a chance

If I were him I will divert to national team coaching and I bet you that if he ventures in that route Jose has all it takes to win the World Cup someday.

He’s style of coaching/tactics isn’t well suited for league football presently but for tournaments where the goal is to get to the finals and win unlike league format
