5 Reasons Jürgen Klopp is better than Pep Guardiola

1. Jürgen Klopp pushed Pep Guardiola to win 2 Premier League titles on the last day of the league with a lesser budget in the 2018/19 season and the 2021/22 season

2. Jürgen Klopp won 2 FIFA Men's Coach of the Year awards in 2019 and 2020 while Pep Guardiola last won this award 11 years ago back in 2011

3. Jürgen Klopp won the IFFHS Best Club Coach award in 2011 while Pep Guardiola last won this award 11 years ago in 2011

4. Jürgen Klopp won the Champions League in 2019 in spectacular fashion after defeating Bayern Munich and then eliminating Barcelona in the Semi-finals with a miraculous comeback while Pep Guardiola is still struggling to win it despite all the financial power he's been given

5. And the last reason is that Jürgen Klopp is a real definition of a coach because he knows how to turn struggling teams like Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool into title contenders while Pep Guardiola's success has been because he managed already successful teams (Bayern Munich and Manchester City) or teams which were already stacked with the most talented players of all time (Barcelona)

Who are the toughest opponents of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi?

▪︎CRISTIANO RONALDO ��

Ronaldo said Ashley Cole is the toughest opponent he had ever faced in his career:

"Over the years I had some great battles with Ashley Cole, he does not give you a second to breathe."

“He was such a tenacious player when he was at his peak, quick, tough in the tackle. You knew it would never be an easy game."

▪︎LIONEL MESSI ��

Messi said Pablo Maffeo is the toughest opponent he had ever faced in his career:

"Man-marking doesn’t bother me — you know that there will be tough matches and it can be strange to always have someone around you."

"In truth, it hasn’t happened to me that often. It doesn’t bother me, but it is strange."

"Pablo Maffeo of Girona was the toughest man-marker. That was intense!"

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE TWO OPPONENTS? �

Does Liverpool realise they bought an average player to the team?

This is Darwin Núñez in FIFA 22:

▪︎Faster than Sadio Mané ❌
▪︎Better finisher than Sadio Mané ❌
▪︎Better passer than Sadio Mané ❌
▪︎Better dribbler than Sadio Mané ❌
▪︎Better overall player than Sadio Mané ❌

Manchester City shall surely win their 3rd Premier League title in a row because they have the oil � money � to pay their players what they demand while Liverpool depends on the brilliant managerial expertise of Jürgen Klopp to be league contenders

Congratulations to Manchester City in advance for winning the 2022/23 Premier League �

Who's the toughest opponent that Dani Alves has faced in his career?

I know Messi fans are using Virgil van Dijk's statement of not including CR7 in his list of toughest opponents he has faced but let's listen to what Dani Alves said about Ronaldo:

"He never made me really suffer because I was focused, but the most difficult opponent I've faced has been Cristiano Ronaldo, without any doubt."

"He's that type of opponent that you have to be 100 percent focused on, if you are at 99 percent he will ruin you and will make you look silly."

van Dijk hates Real Madrid players (former and present) because they have been causing him heartache and pain the Champions League

Shall we talk about the biggest drama queen in football history?

Before I start I want you to know that I don't hate Lionel Messi because he's one of the best players in football history without any doubt so don't comment on this post by attacking me or any other player you think I'm a fan of

Now why am I saying that Messi is the biggest drama queen in football history?

It all has to do with the fact that he was happy to stay at Barcelona before the 8-2 humiliation, then he wanted leave Barcelona after that thrashing and then he wanted to stay again at Barcelona after the club could no longer afford to pay his goldigger €2 million per week wages

In Messi's Barcelona contract there was a clause which allowed him to terminate his stay at the club by the 31st of May 2020 if he wanted to but he wasn't going to exercise that option because it's his comfort zone

After Barcelona defeated Napoli in the Round of 16 of the Champions League Messi and his fans were happy about the result

In fact, Messi fans were saying Barcelona were going to defeat Bayern Munich but they were in for a nasty surprise on the 14th of August 2020

That's when Messi wanted to leave the club but Bartomeu said the only way he was going to leave was if another club was going to pay his his €700 million release clause

Messi seeing that no club was willing to pay that much money gave up his fight to leave the club and decided to stay

But after his contract expired he changed his tone by saying he wanted to continue playing for Barcelona and had no desire to leave to the point of begging and crying in front of the television lights and cameras

Do you now understand why I say he's a drama queen?

Big team update

💡Even Arsene Wenger taught Arteta and Patrick OLISE sorry Patrick Viera 😁how to play good football and how to win

🧑‍💻99.9 percent of Manchester United fans didn't know that Ten Haag was a student of Pep at Bayern Munich till Peter Drury told them when they wanted to play Manchester City 😂😂

👏Even someones legend who was sacked few days ago brought Derby County to the championship and challenged Man Utd in the FA CUP into a replay match l, use a thin Chelsea squad to qualify for Champions league saved Everton from relegation last season

⛔Here comes Alex Ferguson students Gary Neville, Paul Scholes,Rooney etc who are Sky Sports pundit while some of them are club relegators☣️

In 1999, Andriy Shevchenko joined AC Milan from Dynamo Kyiv for a then-record transfer fee of $25 million.

2042 was the first time both the Men's and Women's FIFA World Cup took place in the same year.

USA won the Women's World Cup after beating Burkina Faso 3-2 in the final. Raheem Sterling, who had left the England national team to play for USA Women, assisted Megan Rapinoe's winner in the 87th minute.

For the Men's World Cup, FIFA president Harry Maguire declared that only nations that have never participated in the tournament will be eligible to compete.

The final of the Men's World Cup was played between Kenya and Iraq. It ended 5-5 after extra time and proceeded to penalties. Neither team seemed eager to win, as penalty shootout was still ongoing after two hours. The referee got angry, cancelled the match and declared India champions. So India became the first Asian nation to win the World Cup.

In the FA Cup final, Chelsea was goalless against Bolton Wanderers after 89 minutes.
Todd Boehly looked around but didn't seem satisfied with the players on the bench, so he subbed himself on and went on to score the winner, as Chelsea was crowned FA Cup Champions.

American rapper Kanye West bought Everton, turned it to a night club and hosted the Premier League End-of-the-Year party. Liverpool manager Wout Weghorst, Arsenal manager Jackie Chan and Man United manager Asisat Oshoala were among the invitees.

Harry Maguire stepped down as FIFA President and went to WWE to challenge Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship.

🚩What we may see

✅Trossard being flop of the season
✅Man city winning EPL
✅Chelsea lying 12th on the table
✅Arsenal lying 7th on the table
✅Man utd going trophyless again
✅ Haaland being voted as epl player of the season

GOAT debate was over when Cristiano Ronaldo single handedly carried Portugal to their first ever major International Trophy.

GOAT debate was over when Cristiano Ronaldo won hat trick Ucl with Real Madrid.

GOAT debate was over when Cristiano Ronaldo lead Portugal to their 2nd international Trophy in 2019.

Not a Messi fan but that shouldn't mean I should hate on him,or not give hims his deserved praise if he wins an award or trophy or breaks a record.

Believe me, AWB can tackle the corruption in Nigeria🤣🤣

Analysing Manchester United.

I doubt they’ll sign a main striker for a huge fee and then sign squad depth in the same window considering there are other areas of urgency
The club is getting new ownership. fund injection for squad upgrade is more than likely and if the team finishes strongly, negotiations for new signings will not be inflated. better players will be willing to key into the new Man United project because the club situation can no longer be viewed as desperate.

If Sancho can't find redemption till the end of this season, i believe he'd be sold alongside Martial. Weghorst lack of goals and touching the Anfield badge may just have complicated his acceptance among the fans. Antony will need competition as well. depending on the decision on Greenwood, that a lot of options required in attack.


In Sancho’s case I think it’s more about him being too lazy and lacking the intensity required to play in the PL

He should go back to the Bundesliga where he can play fine boy football.

Bruno always looks busy defending and runs about a lot but his actual pressing ability and defensive skills are very limited, Players just run past him.
He would catch up to a player and act like he's pressing, but in reality he's just being a fly.

PSG vs Bayern Munich second leg.


Mbappe should just leave that shit hole. He won’t win the UCL with them. Messi has won everything winnable. He can afford to chill and enjoy his life.

Well he did get an opportunity to join Madrid but money enter him head... Madrid would have paid him well but not up to what PSG is giving him...

At the end of the day, he has himself to blame for his UCL debacle.....

He still has time but he shouldn't waste it. I expect him to survey the landscape and make his move either this summer or the next. He also needs to improve himself in order to work best for the team. If he wants to be a LWF going forward he needs to improve his defensive work rate and if he wants to be a CF he needs to improve his back to goal game and general link up play. That is the next level of progression for him.

Even as a CF, he has to improve his work rate. Yesterday Messi was strolling as per Messi and he too was strolling when he should be closing down opponents as the younger superstar...He also needs to improve his ability to play in tight spaces...Bayern were able to neutralize his threat by limiting the space around him.

Analysing Liverpool vs Ngozi United 7-0
It's like Liverpool is now the best against Manchester United. Even without checking the stats, the United team played horribly.

Less talk about fatigue, the better. ETH also should be held responsible. I thought he'd tweak the formation and introduce fresh legs but baba didn't know that the formation he used has been flawed but we no see am since it's yielding results.

I hope the pick up and give the best in the next matches

Zero pressing up front,LW was useless wen we knw dat Trent is Rashford customer,marking at d midfield was zero den Dalot finished work

Rashford as a CF was a bad move as he'd have had TAA for dinner but for whatever reason, he was rather used as CF meaning TAA had nothing to do defensively...

If you watch the first goal, from the build up, Allison had all the time in the world to pick his passes not once but twice all because Rashford didn't press...Sometimes, all you need to do is charge towards the goal keeper just so he rushes the pull out...

It's just shocking we didn't even try to exploit Liverpool's weak side.

.....Liverpool is no where the best against Manchester united. Even without checking the stats, the United team played horribly.

I was very clear in that match that there was something wrong with that team in the second half. Gakpo and Nunez were given too much space. That's on the coach, he underrated some of those players and the team as a whole. There was some lack of respect. Then we had a LFC midfield of 3 players plus the attackers that take up space in the midfield that can run all day against just Fred and Casemiro. The team was just poorly prepared for this match, and I know that they can be much better.

The truth isn't just coming out, it has always been there.

United haven't beaten Liverpool at home in 7 yrs and ETH had to come up with this starting 11 and formation undecided was he not advised?

A player who was bought to score goals but he's not performing and he thought it best to put him in a very important position and move or drop players built for that same position. Tell me how this isn't madness.

Kevin De Bruyne is the number one 'assistman' in the world, according to CIES Football Observatory.

🥇 23.4 - Kevin De Bruyne
🥈 17.5 - Ousmane Dembele
🥉 16.8 - Lionel Messi
