>consistently blamed by ex-players, players, and managers, for neutering the game and making it boringCan someone explain this meme and tell me if there's any veracity to it
>>142268522He was just the final nail in the coffinAs much as I can’t stand his ugly mugNever heard ex-players/managers blaming him thoughSource?
meme pressing is the only way to counter his autistic triangle passing, so yes
>>142268597Madrid and Ancelotti play pretty old fashioned against them, I would say
>>142268579
>>142268597If his teams don’t dope they’re not that hard to beat with a decent teamAn average Milan side full of old players + Ibra lead by Allegri took the game to his Barca at San Siro in 2011 and Barca barely won 3-2 thanks to a penalty caused by a Van Bommel handball early on
>>142268522if you want a non-meme answer: tiki taka basically plays possession but you make the ENTIRE field your opponent's own half players' positions are mostly static until the final third which is also extremely boring to watch >hardly any overlapping or clever runs>chance creation is to create the most effective and efficient chance at goal, so no long shots>long shots are low percentage opportunities so they are a 'waste of possession' it's mostly about chance creation which is to make the most effective and efficient chance possible -- a close shot from within the box Guardiola's style of play also only looks to break lines via passing and movement which is really boring when you have such talented players that can actually dribble and take on their defender, but his players only do that in the final third (if at all) so no personal style or flair for the sake of passing and player movement, one touch two touch, pass and move >when was the last time you saw a Guadiola side put in an early cross or a direct through ball from the edge of the 2nd third to the final 3rd? hardly ever it works but holy fuck is it incredibly soulless and boring to watch
>>142269141Its increddibly effective against lower quality teams, because its good enough to beat them reliablythats how Guardiola wins the leagues, but struggles in the CL against big teams
>>142269223>thats how Guardiola wins the leagues, but struggles in the CL against big teamsHe no longer has the UEFA refs in his pockets like he did at BarcelonaHis 2009 and 2011 CL titles are completely illegitimate
