This is not just analysis. This is a documentary! So well sourced.

Pep guardiola is a genius. I don't even know how this man's brain works, he has the ability to learn and improve each and every game and adapt to the changes of the opponent's tactics. The best manager in the world right now.

This is the perfect example of how a real team works. Starting the season one way, and ending it in a completely different one. Great video! And Pep’s tactics are just beautiful.

This is one of the best football related video(out of all the memes, goal compilation and everything), this right here is the genuis side of football summed up greatly by an able narrator.

At last someone praised City, Haaland and Pep

I have never enjoyed so much watching football like in Pep's era. Thanks for Barcelona, thanks for Bayern, thanks for City.
A football feast.

In 2021 Pep Guardiola lost the Champions League Final, and many people criticized him for his selection of the team, and how it was Man City's biggest chance to win the UCL after their great season domestically (PL, Carabao Cup) but they threw it away, and how Pep Guardiola was a failure at Manchester City and an overrated manager despite his success domestically. In 2023, Pep Guardiola proved them wrong by not only winning domestically (PL, FA Cup) with a very consistent team selection in a majority of the matches, including most of the big ones, but he also won the Champions League as well (a treble), for the first time in Manchester City's History. He may have spent a lot of money, but he has lots of trophies to show for it, which proves his ambition as a serial winner. Greatest. Manager. Ever.

It's interesting that the potential addition of Kovacic could make them even stronger, as part of the double pivot. They'd lose a bit of aerial power, but lose nothing in physicality and gain a great progressor of the ball with strong press resistance, along with the versatility to push up into an 8 role when needed against certain opponents.

Pep will go down as the best manager in the history of football. You never cease to amaze us from 2008. Simply wow.

Analyzing the tactics of the greats like Pep & Mourinho is just as satisfying as watching Ronaldinho or Henry on the ball. The beautiful game 💙💙💙

Don't forget Bernardo Silva. As you showed in video that we have 2 cm and 2 dm in the game. Bernardo silva played as a right winger and the main quality of this player is his pressing. We have seen so many mistakes from the opponent because of Silva's pressing ability and not only that with Silva we have extra man in defense because he covers everywhere on the pitch. Pep just need to unlock his another pressing talent known as Julian Alvarez. Hope next season we will see Alvarez in many games.

Well done mate - Pep is never done tinkering - moved John Stones into an 8 role in the UCL final - will be interesting to see how he changes things next year.

This has to be the best tactical analysis channel ever. Carried me through the season and helped me see this games in a different way.
Thank you for the wonderful season of analysis.💫💫

You the best dude. Big ups!!🙌

[Farrisss]

I really enjoyed the video, i like how he mostly rely on the system other than the players. This is how football should be played/evolve. I am lucky to live these days with City💙💙🏆.

Great Video. Really had a nice movie feel to it!

Just want to add one last point. One of the biggest step up was Ederson’s shot stopping ability. However his distribution was, his shot stopping saved city multiple games, and multiple game changing positions.

[Gantaipao]

Man! Solving that kind of level...
Pep is on another level...

[omariblake]

Pep Guardiola is the messi of football management.

[davidfebreeze]

Final form … nah this is going to keep evolving as long as he’s managing

[goodman]

Aptly described. I followed pep tactics earlier in season. He alternated BTW 2-3-4-1(vs west ham) and 2-2-5-1(vs Bournemouth)in an highly ambitious attacking formation.
Walker played an inverted role, while cancelo was a left winger! This made the defence line thin.
It was after crystal place took a commanding 2-0 lead at half time in etihad, that pep repented for a more Conservative 3-1-5-1. I ddnt know why at the time but this channel indicated walker was useless in the pivot role

Love the step-up in production quality!❤
