hensben:
cr7 present in la Liga make messi to up his over all game. Pep ke?

this man has come again

Leo messi "pep immediately transmitted an enormous amount of pride in our work, ambition and hunger .he won our confidence from the first day because we could see that things can be done correctly"


yet, some people want us to believe he was just there as a passenger and happen to be there at the time.....soro niyen

raum has said it all.....shikena

lifted from an article

[quote author=Nihilist post=45161413]But what has Pep really done sef?

pep built the best team in history and a man with two champion league medal

Like we've seen after he left, any donkey off the street can replicate his success at Barcelona.

like how many treble did Tito Vilanova and Martino,Gerardo won

The tiki-taka philosophy is instilled from an early age at la-masia, and most of the members of that team are la-masia including pep himself...

OK so he kept Xavi, moved Messi inside, promoted Busquets..but an argument could be made that being a la masia insider, he was more intimately acquainted with the original Barca/Cruyff philosophy than say LVG and Rijkaard, and thus in a better position to identify la masia graduates that would fit the philosophy

With the array of world class talent at his disposal at Barca, should we even be lauding his 'achievements'? I mean Messi is clearly a freak of nature...

This was Guardiola's first job in senior management;
had he not been anything other than an extraodinary
coach and a great motivator, would these very players -
talented, iconic and stubborn, as Pep's detractors
acknowledge - have respected him and responded to his
ideas? Ideas which were, are and continue to be,
extremely demanding? He would not have lasted a
season had he been the chancer that some are
suggesting, much less gone on to mould what is
probably the best football team in history, one that set
tactical trends that countless top clubs now follow.
He took a very good club in favourable - but far from
ideal - conditions and made them almost perfect. In his
first ever job. And worked relentlessly to sustain that
near-perfection until he could give no more. Had the
likes of Xavi and Inesta - who were not at the heart of
Spain's best ever national team in 2008, lest we forget -
not been endebted to Guardiola's guidance, they would
not have been sat in the front row of his press
conference when he announced his decision to leave.
Nor would Messi, by then the best player in the world
by some distance.

At Bayern, Pep once again has access to the best players in the world, but is competing in a one horse league. Can we genuinely expect anything less than domestic clean sweeps from Bayern with that squad? especially with their tendencies to cannibalise their closest competition

And then he chose Bayern Munich, the German
powerhouse and treble winners. But let's row back a
little. When Pep sat down with Bayern officials to
discuss ending his sabbatical and taking up residence in
Bavaria, Borussia Dortmund had won the previous two
titles. Admittedly, Jupp Heynckes' men were romping
away with the league that winter, but the Bundesliga
was not the closed shop that it is now. And why is it a
closed shop now? Because Guardiola's Bayern have
been merciless. He did not choose Bayern because of
their absolute dominance, they are absolutely dominant
because he chose Bayern.

Why does pep keep failing in Europe when he faces competition that is either at par or slightly superior to his squad?

He seems to be the only coach in football history who
needs to win a third Champions League before people
are willing to accept his ability. Only one coach still
working in football has won three - Carlo Ancelotti.
Guardiola, with two, has won as many as Jose
Mourinho, in a shorter space of time and without
leaving a trail of destruction behind him

Is Pep really that much of a genius at all?

pep will always be a genius

Compare to Jose who has won UCL TWICE in thr capacity of an underdog.

pep : 3 years , 2 UCL

mou :14 years , 2 UCL

real Madrid fans be like

August: " we are winning the treble


May : " who treble don help?

raum, are you happy Hummels is coming back

sebod...your head is there

navas has been saving the yansh of Madrid since,

there are some matches Madrid won that the score line won't reflect what happen e.g against Bilbao ,they won 3-1 or so..Bilbao should have kill them if not for navas


he save some penalties at the start of season self

@ nonsoroyalty....I don't think you have a point

nonsoroyalty:
oblak has the highest cleansheet followed by bravo oblak for me navas ko cavas ni

oblak should thank his defence for clean sheet

my LIGA team

juafran......mascherano.....godin.............marcelo


koke. .............. ..... .busi


messi

not a bad result

it will be too hot to handle for atleti @ d arena

not a bad result

it will be too hot to handle for atleti @ d arena

A40:
What is this man trying to achieve with this lineup. We need an away goal braaa. When will he learn?

Why in God's name is Müller on the bench?

Fingers crossed anyway

ATM will park the bus, so Pep need a good crosser to find lewy head



that is why Costa and coman flank d wing

ribery is a waste of space , dribble dribble and loose possession eventually....thiago can perform muller work to an extent


pep is a genius

Krasid:
1st leg: Wolfsburg 2-0 Madrid; Man City 0-0 Madrid. Wolfsburg > City.I agree.

SMH ,

pamcode:
He said with the 'right attitude' we should be able to win. Since you disagree are you tryna say attitudes don't win games.
Anwsers on a post card

right attitude ko, bad behaviour ni

city won't open their yansh like Wolfsburg.... get it?

LordEmperoris1:
my team is one leg into the final mind u..

So i want to know when barca go play their next match..

u didn't score an away goal


play 1-1 , u are out
play 2-2, u are out
city score 1st, u are out


one leg ko, half finger ni

Krasid:
I guess the team was trying to avoid what happened against Wolfsburg to repeat itself and so approached the game with caution.I wasn't impressed with what I saw in the first 35 minutes, but they improved in the last 10 min of the 1st half and the 2nd half.With the right attitude, we should be able to trounce City with 3/4 goals at the Bernebeu.

every team is not Wolfsburg ...

LordEmperoris1:
only teams not in ucl should be termed boring


by the way when is barca next match.. Well no difference between barca and manure, chelsea, arsenal , malmo etc. Only useless teams ger eliminated so easily


real teams play semis

qualify 1st b4 yawning thrash ...

boring team

bykebyke:
