i think the point he is trying to convey is crucial.Playing the double pivot in defensive phases often meant that two players can be taken out of the game at once if a simple pass was made.
And this is where managers like Flick, Klopp and Jupp come in cause they have shown that having a dynamic double pivot with complementary playstyles means that they will often never play in the same line out of possession.
In the case of Flick, he redesigns the entire formation from scratch to create a different pressing structure in itself

This is how Pep destroyed Madrid in the 6-2, Madrid had 2 midfielders covering Xavi-Iniesta and Pep changed everything making Messi a false 9 who a times was dropping deep and making a 3vs2 at times which means Madrid was always chasing shadows.

Numerical advantage in midfield is key, if you have more players in midfield then you can dominate because there is always a free man.

But he also used 2 or even 1 pivot in his time as a manager? This seems to be taken out of context

Well actually he talks about the moment where the team in possession loses it.
Secondly he said that you block yourself in a 4231 and thus must use the fullback in the build-up which he never wanted.

[redredd]

He was talking about the diamond shape in midfield

[PaulBillinge]

4-5-1 if youve got a good attack minded midfielder

[Kamva-nmbt]

Wasn’t he talking about 4-4-2 in that clip ??
