Guardiola - Nonsense

[TeamOfTalents]

Any chairman (e.g. Abramovich) chasing after Guardiola just shows how ignorant they are. Everyone in the game knows Barcelona's success is largely down to the work van Gaal did.

Bit like Kenny Dalglish winning trophies in the late 80's. If anything the Liverpool machine would have won regardless, King Kenny's achievement was bringing 30 yrs of success to a sharp halt by 1991.

Pure Horse-shite...

It's took Pep 3 years to get the team to play the way they are now...

to disregard Pep is nonsense, i still don't think he's is as great as some make out but he's good and he decided to build the team round Messi which was the best decision he made, albeit reckon he got luck that Xavi and Iniesta have finally hit top form which was key... they were good before don't get me wrong but them two particularly upped there games

Guardiola completely changed the way the team set up so xavi and iniesta could influence the game more, there was an amazing article about the change between his and rijkaards team last year iirc. The guy deserves all the credit coming to him, although his team is still full of a bunch of cheating bastards who are that good it makes no sense why they do.

The whole Barcelona ethos is a modified model of the Ajax one thanks to Johan Cryff. It's based on the complete football philosophy and nothing on Van Galls over complicated tactics.
