three leagues It was conquered from the four that were discussed with Barça. three Bundesliga He is one of three people who have quarreled with Bayern Munich. four premieres Of the six that were discussed with Manchester City: 10 out of 13 total. What qualification deserves such success? Adjective free. The author has only one name: Pep Guardiola.

The epic win (or retention) of the Championship at the Etihad this Sunday has sparked a flood of passion through the streets of Manchester, now painted light blue after several decades of dominated by red. Guardiola’s City at its peak Unified by Sir Alex FergusonUpgraded to a single reference category (team and manager) in English football.

win more two titles per season In the world of football this is so ugly. The extraordinary average achieves its true size only by comparison. For example, it works with Ferguson: the Scottish manager is the most successful coach in history with 49 trophies (just over an average title) won in 39 seasons; Among these 49 successes are 16 Leagues won with Aberdeen (3) and Manchester United (13).

Guardiola only took up a third of Ferguson’s career. He will hardly complete such a long and long career, but he is much faster in accumulating achievements, since he has already accumulated. 32 championships including 10 league titlesmain scepter in football.

“Winning four of the five Premieres is perhaps the most important achievement of our career,” said Guardiola, referring to the group he created at Etihad. These four leagues Half of City’s eight in its 142-year history.

“Winning four out of five Premieres is perhaps the highlight of our career. These guys are immortal, they’re already legends.”

He wasn’t just speaking for himself. ”These guys are immortal, they’re already legends”, valued the core that has accompanied him since his arrival. From goalkeeper Ederson to Gundogan, the author of a decisive backing for an unforgettable comeback, twelve football players have joined this era, almost half of which.

The Reds’ win took the title from them, despite City’s 0-2 loss to Aston Villa in the 69th minute and Liverpool’s draw with Wolverhampton at Anfield. “We were closer to losing than winning”, Guardiola was honest, but as he put it ‘momentum’: Gundogan’s goal (m.76), Rodri’s shot (m.78) and another shot from Gundogan (m.81).

A ‘momentum’ that serves him for a few observations. The first had to do with the increasing emphasis on data in football. “Where is the big data when you play 90 minutes with the feeling of being a champion? it is the hardest game to win. It’s like when you serve to win Wimbledon: tennis players say it’s the hardest serve,” said Guardiola, linking the monologue to the still-remembered Champions League semi-final defeat against Madrid. The coach was still ugly.

“Where is the big data when you play 90 minutes with the feeling of being a champion? It’s the hardest match to win. It’s like when you serve to win a Wimbledon tournament: tennis players say it’s the hardest serve.”

City knew how to hold the ball with the corner in the last three minutes, the score was already in their favour. They won 0-1 in the 86th minute in Madrid. “We didn’t feel like something was up, not even Jack. [Grealish] He had two clear chances to score. And suddenly we conceded two goals. How would you explain this?“The same thing happened to Villa, they were knocked out by two goals without knowing where they were coming from.

The defeat at the Bernabeu buried Manchester, crushed by the greater value England placed on the Premier. Pep agrees: “I’m not saying the Premier is more important or better than the Champions League, but that’s more honest. He’s not lying: there are 38 home and away games and all teams create problems for you. Winner ’cause he’s the best‘ he said without false humility.

I’m not saying Premier is more important or better than the Champions League, but more honestly. It’s not a lie: there are 38 home and away games and all teams are creating problems for you. Winner in the end because it’s the best”

He didn’t have that either when he ascribed the condition to Liverpool “the worst opponent I’ve ever faced in my career”. He justified this based on the progress the Anfield club had experienced after the arrival of Jurgen Klopp. “Before winning a Premiership with around 80 points; now you need more than 90Liverpool beat him by a margin of two titles and on the last day.

When developing the second reflection, he valued, “The bigger your opponent is and the more difficulties they create for you, the greater your victory.” This was about first hand experience defeat where 0-2 smashed the skin before applying it to Villa on the field and Liverpool at the table.

“The size of our success is related to the size of your competitor”

“With what we’ve done over the last five years, can anyone say that Liverpool are the losers? Does anyone think Chelsea are the losers after losing on penalties in two finals?” City.

“The size of our success is relative to the size of your opponent,” Guardiola continued, only to admit: “We’re just a little bit better than Liverpool.” nothing more, insist Klopp’s Liverpool was the toughest opponent For example, he’s tackling José Mourinho as a coach. The Portuguese have lifted three leagues in 12 seasons with Chelsea. Arsène Wenger is also in three of 22 seasons with Arsenal. They were the most successful foreigners in England. Until Pep Guardiola landed in 2016.
