Man City have had their first victory under new reign of Pep Guardiola, despite the hard part. And the opening game was for people to see the new ideas that Pep gives Man City.
Tiki-taka is constantly being called into question in the summer when Guardiola took over Manchester City, many people said that it was dead, many people think that it can not be applied in the City. Someone thinks it will live lingered challenging in the Premier League.
But taken together do not imagine many people tiki taka images from the man himself present Green Man, and completely doubts about its success in the Premiership.
Tiki-taka Pep unveiled in Britain
Successful or not, it is too early now to talk about, but the Pep to continue exporting to the British style of play has become a reality. And the way he did, indeed, there is something not everyone can do. Sterling, loser after 1 year at the Etihad, is the most concrete evidence.
Sterling had a game in which he showed the pictures brimming with confidence and the previous boom in Liverpool instead of heavy images of the past 1 year. But be drilled discussed that Pep players put a lot of this belief.
The change not only that. Fernandinho, who Pep said that "can kick in 10 different locations" card is played Xavi that Pep would expect. But with his ability, he also played the part of Alonso or related to stitch Busquest defense.
Difficult start but Tiki-taka promises
This helps the Catalan coach was Silva pulled down deeper to provide additional capabilities and coordination of the ball but the ball still ensuring superior division as a fire with Iniesta in attack. Broad role played De Bruyne turned over to where he was promoted to his comprehensive qualities.
With the trio out, Pep ensure control the ball, but also brings the potential to cause unexpected damage in the ball, the ball constantly knitting, and this is complemented by the Sterling maneuverability when using his turn on both wings.
Earned a penalty, sharpness, speed and confidence is the beginning of the beautiful days to come under his Pep. Full of sharp images of the Manchester Evening dots Sterling made him 8 points, the most valuable player of the game.
Sterling as Messi
The number 7 who shot the ball over enough to describe the important role of Sterling similar to how Messi. He was the most played in attack freedom of Pep. The only person to be satisfied to make a difference in the tiki-taka play requires coherence asked.
He was even more comfortable playing both Aguero, striker played hứng capital but still extremely effective by Man City.
Silva may also desire this role with his personal technique, but he did not get up to speed enough to let the other person is always in a state of alarm. Conversely needed capabilities Pep ball of the Spanish League to request control of the ball.
The last difference from Kolarov, which so far only player left-stone for City. He is a "versatile guys" Pep discovered other and play in a new role. He plays as a midfielder with the ability to play high balls very well with the basic skills of the first defensive backs
Kolarov was one of the notable adjustment
The defender in addition to acting as a kind Berkenbauer Libero ago, like Boateng of Bayern or Barca's Pique but more impressive than the ball, launch attacks and engage in the situation on the ball more mutagenic .
Kolarov good contribution in this role thanks to the experience gained from wingers time, and without Pep, the normal ability of mine will not be special for a completely new position.
Tiki-taka persists, Pep Guardiola will remain. Whether they chuech beginning of fuck, whether everything was in front, but confidence is the first thing people see at the feet of the players.
Competitors start learning how to cope with them will only be controlled when the ball is almost too little against Man City's Pep-like figure that Sunderland has undergone (only 23%).
Also they will have to learn to break the bond between the extremely new routes and dangerous Fernandinho, Silva and De Bruyne in midfield or locked Sterling, and spend some attention to the long pass and the phase sudden intrusion of Kolarov or Stones.
And Sterling, or a copy is acceptable, Sane surely greatly benefit from the philosophy of Pep. Even if they can not get the level of Messi, their contribution is certainly not small for Pep Guardiola's plans.
