JJ Bull explains just how Pep is reinventing the treble winners yet again.

He need wingers like salah and mane, he never found them
Where is Foden and de Bruyne?
Im sure pep will play Foden in one position till kdb comes back.
What app is he using to line up the teams?
Pep has no mercy. And to think that people used to say he can't dominate the EPL like La Liga and the Bundesliga. LOL
……that er win everything and are great to watch.
Guardiola didn't invent the 4-2-5, Nate Miller has been doing it with San Diego in the USL for a couple years now
Man City can play every way now, been playing back to front, direct style at times like Wimbledon
Doku still looks very raw tho he’ll take a while to adapt
what about zonal man marking?dont know that much but this is the ques. coming in my mind.
Not going to watch the video. Will just assume he's using 'money' again
He couldnt buy messi so he is finding someone close
Wasn't expecting to see you on my YouTube feed this morning JJ. Hope you're keeping well. Great video. 🙂
I find it quite interesting that guardiola is playing Ederson as a normal field player in Possesion. That's soemthing the Hamburger SV under Tim Walter is playing in the second Bundesliga for like 3 years. This was alot discussed in the last years in germany and makes a really good defensiv shape against counterattacks extremely important. Really looking forward how this will develop over the whole season in the premier League.
Bro you talk too fast
Guardiola's new "homenaje a Messi" tactics:
When things get complicated… la pelota al 10.
Awesome coach. Great analysis
Pep invents, others simply copy him the next season (and get called great managers) 🤣
Man. City have had for second year in a row the best transfer market. They add players they really need, and have built an even more incredible team than last season.
In terms of squad potential, Citizens are aiming for another treble. There is no discussion as of today.
They're the best team in the world.
Pep makes everyone play his way then makes a new way that cuts his old tactics to pieces, GOAT
Didn't know where Doku was last game you think he's on the right then he's on the left then he's in the middle dragging everyone outwide
Such a woke football video…the pitch is still the same size, same sized goals, same amount of minutes and players nothings changed except ideas that have been used before if you actually knew footbals history…a true genius is a certain napoleon whose tactics are still being copied 200 years later now thats what you call evolving your field beyond all recognition🤷🏻♂️
What is the name of this tactical board ??
Pep is the anti-meta.
JJ talks waaay to fast for my lazy brain.
Off-topic question: what software / app is he using to visualise here? Looks very useful for me as a youth football team coach.
Givibg PEP props for THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE! Wolves and slightly BRIGHTON have BEEEEEEN playing like this. WOLVES to be exact. PEP? PEP just has BIGGER budget and maybe better technical TEAM and better finisher!! But laying Deep and playing through absorbing the press IS A Brighton and Wolves thing! Check the footage from as old as LAST YEAR! Pep is ADDING THIS STYLE OF play to his arsenal
All Pep does is get the players most suitable to play in his system and set up his tactics to control the field against ANY opposition . He's NOT bringing any revolution, he's just adapting more and more to other PL teams who are getting better every window.
With billions of cash, yeah very good.
easy……..City´s 115 charges
Sure is easy to reinvent your team when you can spend £1B on players. Don't get me wrong, money doesn't guarantee anything (just look at Chelsea) but it sure makes it easier.
Do it without sheik money
