The Unstoppable Tactics of Pep's Barcelona | Guardiola's Barcelona 2008-12 Tactics

[@johnnyjustice]

Here's the weakness of this system: Pep can always, like ALWAYS, with Barca, Bayern, or Man C, to generate numerical superiority anywhere on the pitch EXCEPT for in the final third. Teams that understand this and stay consistently disciplined inside their third cause a lot of trouble for Pep. In these kinds of situation, Pep must rely on individual brilliance, particularly the ability of dribblers (like Iniesta and Messi mostly but occasionally others like Villa) to beat 2-3 men to mitigate the numerical inferiority. Who can play that key dribbler role now at Man C for Pep? And who could have done so for him at Bayern?

[@Electrifying316HBK]

Currently nobody and that is why he constantly adapts his style. At Man City he started with 3 CBs, the following season it was a 4-3-3 with the fullbacks acting like midfielders, then it was a 4-3-3 with inverted wingers... And now he doesn't have a striker so he adapted his style to where he doesn't even need one. That's what makes him brilliant in my opinion. The fact that he never stops evolving and adapting. The issue with Pep for me is that he really does need specific type of players for his systems to work. I mean, that's the case with every coach but especially Pep. But once he has the players he needs he's unstoppable.

@johnny justice Bernardo silva can ribery could have played it at bayern foden as well could city have many great dribbles and bayern did as well these are just a few examples

[@thatoneguy38]

That's why he brought in Doku

I absolutely love this series! Passing down the greatness of past teams to the younger generation so everyone can appreciate their greatness!!

[@Sealionborn]

Sacchi or Capello's Milan teams would be neat.

[@blank.373]

2011- 2014 Antonio Conte's Juventus.

[@mcchicken8790]

SAF Man Utd team would be nice. You can cover over his evolution from a 442 to a 433 or you can just cover over the 1999 team and 2008 team

[@SayJoTwice]

Hi Football Meta, don’t forget to include the possible bribing of referees and dodgy decisions

[@eFootballtactician10]

I loved the idea of shadow cover or cover shadow whatever. Putting press while cutting off passing line. Aha moment for me.

[@johnnyjustice]

basic FIFA skill haha

[@ASChin]

Tremendous work. I’m learning so much from your channel.

[@pbandj7764]

Excellent. Suggestion for videos…. Cruff’s legacy at Barca and football. Is Mourinho’s reputation justified? Van der Gall too. Ferguson? Other coaches.

[@hiero4850]

Been patiently waiting! 🤌🏾💎

[@anonymous-_-696]

Love your videos! Next could you do Mikel artetas Arsenal and how they have developed to the team they are this season?

[@SayJoTwice]

Also the influence of Carles Puyol as a personality and Captain. Made a huge difference

[@fredred5037]

Great work! Do a video on Brazil's 2002 WC winning side. Specifically, how their more "conservative" approach made them successful.

[@mauricioalexander9117]

Good channel I found, good way to show tactics and explain them. Good job 👍

[@FootballMeta]

Thanks man

[@golazomedia531]

What about the underated Maurizio Sarri's 2017/18 Napoli?

[@anonymous-_-696]

Next team in this serious should be the Man City 17-18 team

[@danieljames921]

Do a United team please. So depressed about them at the mo. Would like to reminisce a bit.

[@alejandroalvarezdominguez9157]

Man can you please make a video to explain positional play in defense?

[@aswinsunil8420]

Can you do a video on current Barcelona ? I think it will be similar to Pep's Barcelona

[@wallahhabibiiii]

Except we play with Inverted full backs now And wide wingers with the Midfilders running into the space created by the number 9 dropping deep It's similar to Pep's current Manchester City side

[@aswinsunil8420]

@@wallahhabibiiii I don't but Pep's city doesn't have the same flow as xavi's Barcelona.

[@positional_play]

that's just nostalgia. Wallah Habibi is right that Xavi's Barcelona is more like Guardiola's City than Guardiola's Barcelona. As he said, fullbacks are inverted and our current midfielders are much more vertical and direct because that's how the game's evolved.

[@Artofnatiee]

Arsenal Invicibles!!!! As a huge fan of the possession style football, Arsenal best represents that philosophy and Arsene Wenger is arguably the most influential manager in modern day football

[@lionelcastelino6977]

I thinks barca under pep was following the principles of relationism rather than claiming that it used priciples of positional play( May be a nerdy stuff but please give me your opinion on this)
