Guardiola's Barcelona 2010/11 Tactics | Pep Guardiola's Greatest Team? | 

I think they're the best implementation of the false 9 of all time & that they definitely played the best football. However, some of the personnel in the squad could have been improved upon had Guardiola been more shrewd, at that time, in the transfer market & considering players in the academy. The squad could boast more graduates from La Masia such as getting rid of Abidal in his clear out the season before & never signing Adriano. Then resigning Alba & promoting Grimaldo, signing Iñigo Martinez and promoting Bartra to understudy & eventually succeed Puyol & Piqué, and lastly, signing Neymar & promoting Icardi to understudy & eventually succeed Suárez & Pedro. It is wishful thinking but imagine if Neymar & Suárez played under Guardiola!

No doubt it was the greteast team in history

Referees make the Spanish teams special in UCL. First season of UCL with VAR and there were no Spanish teams in the final.

tied 1st with Hyenckes Bayern.

Football Made Simple thank u next do 2014/15 Barcelona msn treble winning team

I think u need to be hired at Barca and replace some board members😏

Wow

Messi was never just one more player to complete the squad, what are you smoking?

@@mirceazambitchi1151 he means messi had a role on the team, i mean yeah he was still doing the most on the attacking end and was unique compared to any of the other players, but he didn't have to orchastrate everything in the attack like he does now due to lack of creativity and midfielders that can't take risks, back then he was more free, he had more fun, and barca weren't over dependent on him as other players could also turn up when messi was locked down by the opponent

@@stevetheiii477 I agree with you, but when someone says about Messi just another player it sounds wrong..

It was a joy to watch

No he said if you love football and don’t love Messi you have a problem

@@Maestro_893 go watch the trailer of "take the ball pass the ball" and listen to the first sentence

bayern 2013 better

​@@kukunase1686not near

They were an amazing team!

@@FootballMadeSimple . That's true

They played smart, played to win and played for the badge. This version of Barça can never be duplicated..

Incredible side. Does any other team come close?

Football Made Simple Madrid 2016/17, Bayern 2012/13, and Man United 2007/08 for me

@@mochamadrayhandhranaufal2935 very strong teams as well. Would love a time machine to see them all play each other

@@FootballMadeSimple na Mate 2011 Barcelona was the best team of all times

@@gilletabdi8268 I think that Bayern side that beat Barca 7-0 in the champions league was the cryptonite of this tactic.

That won't be happening anytime soon until the current board is replaced

@@thuo1000 it’s finally happening

@@toluadeyemi6968 thank god

That has to do more with the president and the club's management than with the coach.

That aged well 👏🏼👏🏼

Tambien

This. Every so often, it just happens and when it does, it's beautiful.

Great observations!

and Puyol keeping the team together with his leadership, on and off the pitch.

Now Messi, Suarez n Ter Stegen are the only players carrying Barça, if Barça signings n coach r not shining n board is cutting out La Masia talents ppl still blame Messi for every important loss even after giving his best. Barça certainly needs a man like Guardiola who can bring back not only their spirit but also the beautiful football.

And now we have lost 8-2, suarez is gone, and all our money is gone on pretty much useless players. Antone is all the hope we have left

Is all about space to me ooo. Because all this tactics require space like a defensive structure term if don't give barca space at that time they will lose ball or get frustrated

They were a joy to watch

Barca in 2011 and 2015 both won 5 titles how did 2015 win more?

100%

not sergi roberto pls lol. pique was bought back though from united

At least Manchester United that year didn't lose 5-0 like real Madrid did

1970 Brazil says Hi

how many of those games have you watched? LOL

Pep`s Barcelona was by far better than what the Barca teams of Cruyff was.

100x stronger than cruyff's barca... But johan provided the base to the tiki taka barca

@@nobody9009 no bro that team was the 2nd or 3rd best,just type on yt and you will know.

Good idea

Hi Anir, there's already ones for Klopps Dortmund and solskjaers tactics and I'll add the bartomeu one to the list

2012 Messi was the best Messi ever . 2015 Messi a close second

14/15 Messi is better than 10/11 Messi. But 11/12 Messi is better than 14/15 Messi

@@gonefist individually i would say 2019 Messi was the best version of him. He was more complete player.

Good idea

That's true. Pep (and most managers) admit without high quality players, high quality results are almost impossible

Who do you have as the second best?

Football Made Simple Barca 14/15 , manu 7/8, ac milan 2/3, arsenal 2/3, real 3/4, bayern 15/16, city 17/18

who is the 2nd greatest team in your opinion?

@@FootballMadeSimple Sir Alex's Man U 2008, only because last season Man City haven't won champions league.

Football Made Simple Spain 2008-2012 or Brazil 1970. Make a video on the greatest player of all time

Also Bayern 2012/13

@@reginald8947 What about Arsenals Invincible team from 2003/04?

Not close to barca.

Sacchi’s Milan team

Pep's Man City are quite similar yet very different from Pep's Barcelona. The similarities is that both teams employ strict Positional Play, where players are drilled on their positions and adopt various positions based on where the ball is. The biggest difference is how Pep uses his fullbacks at City in comparison to his Barca team. At City, he has made use of the inverted fullbacks. This means the fullbacks drop into midfield to provide more central support when Man City are in possession. Remember Pep lines up with a 4-3-3 on paper that transforms into a 2-3-5 when City have possession. So the wingers stay wide to create half-spaces while the 2 attacking midfielders (david silva as Lm and de bryune as Rm) attack those half-spaces. Then the 2 fullbacks come drop into midfield (inverted fullbacks) as the new Lm and Rm. Pep has also transformed Aguero from a traditional striker into a false 9. We see Aguero dropping deep to link up play with the midfield under Guardiola. Also another difference between Pep's city and Pep's barca is build up play. So when City is playing against a team that likes to press high up the pitch like Liverpool, Pep usually instructs his left back (zinchenko) to drop into midfield alongside the cdm (gundogan or rodri) temporarily. Remember City's cdm is being tightly marked, so what dropping the left back into midfield alongside the cdm does is that it creates a 2v1 advantage to City against the opponent player marking the City's cdm and thus City are able to build up play successfully. So in the example of Liverpool that press very intensely, they press in a 4-3-3 formation. So this means Liverpool wingers are pressing City's fullbacks. Salah is marking City's left back while Mane is marking City's right back, so by dropping the Left back into midfield temporarily during build up play, Salah is confronted by 2 choices. He can either decide to follow City's Left back into midfield or not to follow him. So if Salah decides to follow City's Left back into midfield, it leaves a perfect passing angle to City's left winger (sterling). This is why Guardiola instructs his wingers to stay wide during build up play. If Salah decides not to follow City's left back into midfield, then the City's left back is unmarked and this creates a 2v1 against the liverpool player marking City's cdm. So the liverpool player marking city's cdm has to decide whether to continue marking the cdm or mark the left back who is now in midfield. He cannot mark 2 men at once. So City build up play from the back through the inverted leftback. At Barcelona, instead of using inverted fullbacks, Pep used dani alves as a wing-back and abidal as a more defensive fullback. During build up play, dani alves would push up the right wing while right winger would tuck in to leave space for alves to overlap. Then abidal stayed back in his left back position to make it a back 3. So if the opponent was pressing Barca in a 4-3-3 formation, Pep would instruct the cdm (Sergio busquets) to drop between the Center backs and make it a back 4. This gave barca a 4v3 advantage at the back. It is how Pep's barca usually build up their play. At times, we would see xavi drop all the way back alongside busquets to build up play. So the biggest difference between Pep's barca and Pep's City is the way Guardiola uses his fullbacks. At City, his fullbacks play as inverted fullbacks when City have possession. Also Pep has become more direct at City than he was at Barca. City are lethal with counter attacks as well as they are with possession. These has been aided by having fast wingers (sterling and sane). The loss of sane to injury early this season made City become slower in their play. This is because Mahrez or bernardo silva are not as fast as Sane, so Pep had to tweak his tactics. Without sane, City mostly counter-attacked through Sterling. Last season when Sane was fit, Pep could launch counter attacks on either side, either through sterling or sane and this made City unpredictable and more dangerous. This season without sane made them less dangerous on counters as they only had sterling as the fastest winger.

Go for it mate

Brilliant idea!

He ist shit

He would make an impact if he actually play in his best position but that role already filled with messi. Barca with their genius signing yet again.

Mecha Meister exactly...he likes being the main man. He was the main striker and played behind a poacher like Morata/costa... Messi too plays the exact same position ....so he doesn't fit.... And he is not a winger either

They should consider putting him in a second striker sort of position
