How are Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta different?

There are similarities between Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta, they are both sharp thinkers, they are both products of Barcelona’s La Masia, and they are both sharp dressers. But there are also some fundamental differences.

As The Athletic’s James McNicholas writes, on the face of it Guardiola and Arteta are similar, but as they both develop, will their differences develop.

An analysis I’d love to see is a tactical comparison of every team Guardiola’s managed.

The hair on Pep's head originally appeared on The Athletic

[timchiu]

The Pep in the thumbnail has too much hair so I couldn’t recognise him immediately 🤣🤣🤣

[goated]

And now were finally seeing his vision and what a f*cking gorgeous vision it is. The results have been phenomenal but even if you take away results and just look at the way we're playing you can only describe it as beautiful. We play quick but controlled, reckless yet calm, and most importantly we play with heart. Every player defends, every player attacks. This is Mikel Artetas work finally paying off.

this video aged well.
Arteta has proven himself to be a young manager with big potential.

[mcrpadamawatv]

And a year in, this is exactly what Arteta has acheived

[simoncalder]

Arteta and Pep remind me of Obi-wan and Qui-gon

[Davemcfc]

I was absolutely gutted when Arteta left City. Pep can be a genius when setting up his team's, but it is the staff around him that are responsible for getting the messages across to the players, and Mikel was responsible for having a major role in improving the players such as Raheem. Wishing him the best of luck at Arsenal as he deserves it (not against City of course!)

I wish Tifo could do one for Lampard, but he doesn’t have a clear style
The video they did do on him made me even more confused with the way Lampard plays

[averageyoutubeuser]

And now, it's a battle between a master and his student 🔥🔥🔥

[ATS]

one thing im impressed by with arteta is that his ability to change formations in between games
defending with a 3 in the back building up and attacking with a 4 in the back

[Tomanna]

I had no clue you couldn't be offside from goal kicks. Wonder why that isn't exploited more often

[marwanzuqy]

Thanks. I hope some impatient Arsenal fans understand why we always playing from the back even we look uncomfortable because we need to slowly make ourself good in it thus creating a habit.

[mightyhuygi]

This guy had the audacity to give pep hair. 💀

[matildasinclair]

This type of Content is just so good. The only problem with this video is that it ended

[alhamdudanjuma]

Guy, kindly make a part 2 of this particular video. times have change

[tx]

When i watched the arsenal vs man city arsenal played more of a pressuring style while man city were looking to make passes it was a pretty equal match

[kenonwu]

Please can you make an updated video of this now. It would be so fascinating to watch because this video is superb.

[alexluckoo]

I’m watching this just ahead of the 2022-2023 season and arsenal are looking deadly

[shaulablack]

The football we're seeing Arsenal play is far from being what Arteta wants. I think he wants to be as attacking as City, or even more, but he's still building to that.
Pep has always taken better teams or had more money. That doesn't make him less of a coach, but I think it enabled him to extract better football out of his teams more quickly.
