    Guardiola invented dribblers at Man City now, eh.

    It’s not even new for Guardiola. Ever heard of Messi?

      I don’t think it’s that. Pep has a very clear philosophy and he builds his teams to play that way. He eschewed dribblers previously because he only wanted passers. He eschewed traditional centre forwards because he wanted more players in midfield and between the lines. Now he’s changing his philosophy again and having success and people are talking about it.

      ‘of course it would be ridiculous to describe something as natural and elemental and ubiquitous as dribbling as a lost skill.’

      At least read the fucking article before chiming in

      Guardiola invented dribblers at Man City now, eh.

      Where did the article say this?

      It’s not even new for Guardiola. Ever heard of Messi?

      “And for a coach often characterised as a control-obsessed micromanager, Guardiola has always got this. His teams have always possessed brilliant dribblers, from Lionel Messi to Arjen Robben to Leroy Sané.”
