They still don't like him but you can't rebuild the whole team in a season. And the fact that we haven't been good on transfers for a while except a few players doesn't help him at all.
Koeman left Netherlands for Barca just after they lost 8-2 against Bayern and after they had a poor season I have a lot of respect for him I hope he will stay even if Barca don't win Laliga
I would say the positioning of pep's Barca ofcourse is impeccable that's one thing to learn(utilising the width of the pitch) but to do what koeman has done within a year with so many youngsters in the squad is indescribably underrated.... Just one thing give puig some game😭
If i were you , i'd better use the word " gradually" to insist on the idea. because slowly might mean another thing which is building theoretically ,but practically things aren't fine which is not the case, as Barca are title contenders and has won La Copa . so he is building his own concept in this squad gradually and it is improving bit by bit.
@@mohamedaymenajam6674 he is he, and you are you! Don't say, "If I were you..." It's what you are supposed to say, as it was your idea... He didn't have that word in mind when writing! Though, It's Good that you corrected them, I'll will thank you from my side, not from theirs...;)
@@mohamedaymenajam6674 & he wasn't wrong I feel. Yet, I'm gonna thank you, cuz Gradually would be a good word to be used up there! But I don't see any problem with "slowly".
Koeman deserves some sort of coaching award surely. Probably not The Best award but I mean come on look at his work. Nobody thought he’d make them this good so fast EDIT: Barca 1-2 Granada Looks like my comment didn’t age well😂😂
Barça played very well against granada exept when granada scored the 1-1 from there barça played way worse, but overall barça did pretty good, we where just unlucky
One major differentiating factors here. 1) Pep has legends in their prime. Koeman had team that's torn apart, no stability and either too old or too young and inexperienced players. Nevertheless Koeman is grinding results. Don't forget we lost games under Pep as well. Even Pep would struggle to lead this team to title glory with this team.
I don’t know what you guys did since Christmas but you have been unbelievable since then. I think you’ll win the league and to think of Barca doing the double after this shambles of 12 months would be very impressive
Glad to see Busquets making those creative Passes to Messi again. Lets be honest we all kinda missed that a lot in the last two seasons. Our midfield looks a bit more stronger under Koeman, and he deserve that credit. But the passing Improved. The new bloods are confident under Koeman. Its really working out for him in my opinion! Now all we need is to be patient and win the league. The Brace would fix his position as a manager, and probably convince Messi to stay for the better good .
Both are great footballing strategy. Koeman relies more on balance and calmness in the back, then slowly gain more and more momentum during the attack, meanwhile Pep holds on to his well-known principle that if you can pass the ball forward, then do it, and thats why Barca's ball movement was extremely quick/tiki-taka basically.
Koeman was a Legendary player, His dream was to coach Barcelona. He came in when there was Chaos, Koeman stayed humble, didnt wine to much mostly stating facts is his strength. He understands the game like Cruijff did, ofcourse Cruijff is bigger then Koeman but see koeman as his Deciple. His filosofie is working very stable. No transfers but some incredible Talents from La Masia has emerged and the should keep doing that. Koeman is the kind of trainer who can read the game very well. Against Real Madrid was a perfect example. Barca should have closed the game in the second half. But sometimes you are just unlucky. This Barca team is growing as a collective. Its not only messi anymore who can make a differents and that my friends is koeman his hand. he forged a collective with an amazing potential la Masia should be the basic building blocks of the future. Like my team Ajax! The youth is the future!
Pep had the best team ever in his side, well i can't complain since he's the one who created them. Henry-Messi-Etoo, Xavi-Busquest-Iniesta, and Alves-Puyol-Pique-Abidal.
@@agikun7806 That was not Pep team. Xavi was not the same anymore, and Puyol was in and out of the team with injuries, and he was not even playing the matches vs Bayern that season, and Abidal was sick, and Messi was injured. Tito the coach was in the hospital dying. Busquets was also out the first match. Prime Barca was 2008-2012. In 2013 they started to decline.
Well the thing is ppl want that Pep Barca back but they don't realize, that Team was once in a lifetime team........they had best defense,best midfield, best attack and the greatest player of all time at the same time and all of them were in there Prime...... we'll have to wait 40, 50 Year's to see a team like Pep Barca again and current Barca is full of very young and unexperienced player's it will take time for them to adjust themselves on one of the biggest Leagues in the world......they Just Need Some Time
Peps tiki taka may look better, but never forget that pep had quality experinced playets, unlike koeman, just iniesta and xavi alone could hold the ball for minutes and build attacks.. so not a fair comparison at all
very much different. pep got xavi and iniesta, who only passing to attacker when they had a chance, only pass it back to defender or keeper when space is close upfront
Respect to Koeman, didn't think he was the man for the job but he has done alright by Barca so far... perhaps nothing mind blowing but potential league champions from what I thought was a team going to not even see champions league football is pretty damn good. Barca looked dead.
I mean considering that koeman doesn’t have nearly the great tacticians that pep had lake iniesta and xavi, he’s still done very well to lift this club from the drought it was going through
But in Barcelona, quick touch passing was brought by the Thiery Henry. And Thiery Henry learnt from the Arsene Wenger. If you don't believe then watch Arsenal's game during their unbeaten run for the whole season.
Pep ball at Barca was Basically Xavi and Iniesta fooling the midfield and then passing it to Messi who then fooled everybody. Pep's system in Man City is something viable for every team
Pep teaches his boys not to hold back move forward which is lacking in barca now like if they get a ball from defence and an opponent is coming they will pass it back to defence rather than taking the challenge i know it's the safe option but it's giving opponents more time to Think
Koeman has improved the team a lot.. earlier we use to win against minnows and bottle against top teams,, Now we bottle against top teams and win against minnows. Wait a minute..
Pep ball is the more attacking play we all should know by now koeman does run a kind of both defensive and attacking type of football not to much of the other
One thing that pepball was against Real Madrid and he got results against big teams Koeman ball was against Sevilla but with all due respect I think we were no good against any big team this year..not going to ignore the fact the great squad pep had so that makes sense.. A proper number 9 and a decent defender in Eric garcia might be the play here
People have to realize, that Koeman has giving everything he can for barca. The problem is, they want barca back to playing like pep era, when Messi was 19' lol. You guys should blame God for making Messi's old
Different quality of players. Pep team can did what they did the way Pep wanted because the team quality is there. Not even man city can play the way barca did back then.
