Our teams may come up with something, they can stop us sometimes, it's true. But Pep showed that he isn't just a toy there in big matches. He approach differently these big matches. He still used and will you the same style though.
For example:
1. 2nd May, 2009. Messi didn't play in the middle becasue he's such a phenomenal player. Someone (i.e. Pep) said him to play in the middle with Xavi and Iniesta for certain reasons. He risked playing with his two center forwards as winger, but at the end he scored 6 goals and owned a team like Madrid in the middle of the Bernabeu. According to you, this is only adding some salt to you recipe. Ok, let it be whatever. Is it working, we're winning matches. I'm sure other manager would love to do so.
2. 24th November, 2009. Without Messi, Ibra, Yaya. It was Pep who said to Pedro, go and play forward on the left wing. Go and play there, don't let Maicon go forward. It was Pep who said to don Andres, start as a right winger, but then play in the middle, help Xavi and Busquets. It was Pep who said to Alves play deeper on the right wing. It was Pep who said to Henry to do pressure all the time. etc, etc. This is adding some salt and pepper according to you, but ok then, ask Ancelotti (or others, why not?) to do it.
These were just 2 matches that came to my mind. There are lot more.
Here it is what I said:
Coz it seems either my English is bad or you wanna get it another way.
I said:
- I can't say right now that Pep is the best coach in the World, because he's carrier as a coach is too short, and in one way he needs to prove that at least with one more fantastic year.
But his results, make him one of the best nowadays.
- If he keeps these successes up for more years, then how can you deny it that he won't be the best coach ever. He already won something (triplet) that only 5 coaches did it before. He won something (5 trohpies) that maybe 1 or 2 coaches did it before. If he win Clubs World Cup, he'll become the most successful coach who won all trophies in a season.
Now the reasons he needs more year is that right now, he can't compete with Ferguson who is a manager for more than 20 years now. He can't compete with Scolari who has won World Cup as a manager since he hasn't manage any NT yet. This is only his third year as a manager (inlcuding the one in 4th division of Spain with Barça .
Nady;2769966 said:To be winning the trebble in his first season is a great achievement definitely. But if you look at the situation at Barca, any manager with such good players and financial backing could`ve done the same thing... Don`t you think so?
Nady;2769981 said:It was last season that Iniesta and Messi really stepped up and there was more team chemistry. These 2 improved a lot to become among the best players worldwide.
Arnau;2769992 said:first watch some 07-08 and 08-09 matches and then take your conclussions, Messi and Iniesta aren't the diference.
If those Henrys, iniestas,messis etc... performance has improved its because pep work.
bybuti;2769993 said:I agree. He still has to prove a lot. But so far, he has showed a lot as a manager.
Big people prove themselves in a big matches, and he Pep has proved that he's big in big matches.
bybuti;2770039 said:btw, If I understood you well with the unanimity issue, then I agree. But what's the point with that? I didn't doubt it.
