I really hope Mou stomps Guardiola. I have no love for his style of 75% possession bullshit and playing as riskaverse as possible. It's a blight in the world of football. I don't understand how people can fall in love with this shit.
Imagine your girl telling you "Let's watch a porno together!". You get all excited. Yeah, we gonna see some action. Some back and forth. Ooooohhhweee!
And then she turns on a solo mastrubation video.
You be like:
That what football matches are supposed to be for Guardiola. Solo mastrubation videos.
LOL great analogy
By Marston Go To PostHoly shit. Hype.
Wut
Is there a manager more "riskaverse" than Jose Mourinho currently? Maybe Tony Pulis. Guardiola played a back 3 at the Nou Camp ffs.

He also played with no strikers, if I had that Barca team, I wouldn't put too much stock in formation.

That Henry character model is interesting because it gives a slight idea of what a 2k football game could potentially look like.
It's funny how fragmented sports games are across the publishers.

Take 2: NBA 2k
Sony: Baseball (The Show)
And then you have the billions pissed away because the NCAA can't get their shit together. A collegiate football and basketball game is long overdue. It's a real shame.
Anyway, there's nothing less interesting than Pep Vs. Mourinho talk. They're the two most successful coaches over the last decade plus and they've always had superstar packed teams. One more so than the other obviously, but no one would slight Phil Jackson from going from Jordan to Kobe/Shaq. They're both winners and that's the most important thing for me. I hope they kill each other tomorrow morning.

By Diego! Go To Posthttp://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/sport/city-lose-out-to-united-in-euro-revamp-6qvkbc5nlWhat the fuck
Manchester City face the prospect of being hit financially by controversial new changes to the Champions League, which will instead benefit city rivals Manchester United.
City were the biggest earners of any club in the Champions League last season, collecting about €75 million (now about £63 million) in TV and performance money. However, under rule changes agreed by Uefa and the European Club Association (ECA), part of the TV money will be distributed according to how many European Cups or Champions League titles each club have won.
It will mean that, from 2018, clubs such as United and Liverpool, presuming they qualify for the tournament, stand to earn several million pounds more in a season than English rivals, such as City, who have never won the Champions League.
Those behind the changes argue that the Champions League brand has been built by the biggest clubs in the game so they deserve the biggest rewards. The changes — which have been agreed in principle although the exact details of how the money would be shared out are still to be finalised — are being fiercely opposed, however, by the European Professional Football Leagues, which is threatening to rip up the agreement that domestic games are not played in the same time slots as Champions League or Europa League matches.
To rub salt in City’s wounds, on the eve of their derby visit to Old Trafford, one of the architects of the changes has been David Gill, the United director who is also deputy chairman of Uefa’s club competitions committee.
The Times has learnt that Uefa wants to see each club being awarded points depending on their European triumphs and when they were won — 15 points if within the past five years, ten points since the start of the Champions League in 1992 and five points for each European Cup before then.
Under that system three-times winners Manchester United would have 25 points and five-times winners Liverpool 30, while Real Madrid, 11-times winners and the holders, would have 90 points. A smaller number of points would be awarded for Europa League/Uefa Cup trophies.
Those points would contribute to a club’s overall Uefa coefficient, which would have a double benefit — first, in terms of seeding, and second, when it comes to the income distribution.
English clubs’ overall income from Europe is also likely to be hit by a further rule change which would see more TV money distributed based on results rather than related to the size of each country’s individual TV deal — the £897 million BT Sport contract for the present three-year cycle is the most lucrative in Europe. That deal was a key reason for City’s windfall last season but Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, the ECA chairman, said that City topping the prize-money list despite losing to Real in the semi-finals was “not fair”.

By Oddinho Go To PostNah I'm sorry but just no. Demanding that players keep the ball and pass it around is 100 times more courageous than Mou's shit "Pepe in midfield" football.
Pepe in midfield wasn't necessary because of Pep's stupid ass philosophy, it was necessary because of Messi's talents and abilities and his free roaming nature. Jose isn't riskaverse, his approach to big games is just completely different. He tries to negate his opponents strong points and attack the weak point. That is his way of maintaining control over a game. Pep's weak point was the defensive order or the lack thereof on the break, once the gegenpress in the opponents half fails.
Pep's apporach on how to maintain control is having as much of the ball as possible and not letting these type of breaks happen, thus the riskaversiveness in play. His philosophy is a philosophy of "don'ts".
Don't play high risk passes.
Don't go in 1on1s unless on the wings in the final third with enough players behind the ball,
Don't be in any other positions except for those I told you to be.
Don't be unpatient, don't play the ball until you find a riskless opportunity.
Shit still 0:0 and only 15 minutes to go? Start whipping in high balls to Lewandowski until we score, vamos, schnell schnell, go!
That was basically the scenario in 30 of 34 Bundesliga games.
Made me quit Bundesliga.

Is there a manager more "riskaverse" than Jose Mourinho currently? Maybe Tony Pulis. Guardiola played a back 3 at the Nou Camp ffs.
For exactly 15 minutes and they were bombarded by Barca until they switched back to a 4 backline. His manmarking backfired as did the 3 at the back. The idea was: More people in midfield, more control more possession.
What peeps need to realize is that Guardiola's teams were absolute monsters. They were 750lbs gorillas just turning nearly every opponent to mush. Possession is his defensive concept and is only possible with the right players, and he always had the right players. His football has regressed since he started. He shakles his players too much, because of his unwillingness to step a few feet away from his "philosophy". He's just as extreme as van Gaal, he only had better teams.

The way people talk about Guardiola/Mourinho is so good vs evil. Bravery and courage are the perfect examples.
The thing they have in common is a desire to eliminate any chaos or disorganisation from the game. They aren't prepared to tolerate any imperfections or unknowns so they're both risk averse.
Anyhow, what makes Guardiola’s approach more appealing (for me) than Mourinho’s is that he is determined to achieve control through his own teams and players’ excellence. So although he limits his players in some ways…he also expects them to be the determining factor in the game, whereas Mourinho is more comfortable with the opponent to be the difference maker.
But the best thing about Guardiola's football and the thing that he has contributed most to the game is the need for constant movement. I don't know this for sure but it feels like at Bayern his team lost that a little. His first couple of years at Barca are where this was at its best. Maybe some of the losses his teams have had have made him tighten the screw on the discipline of the system even more.
Not watched any of City yet so will be interesting to see what their movement is like.

By Laboured Go To PostMou reckons it's either Iheanacho up front or Silva as a false 9.
It sounds like Silva and De Bruyne have been playing in floaty AM positions, finding space and joining up with the defence/wingers/strikers. I’d be surprised if Guardiola moved away from that.
Not sure what kind of role Aguero has been playing but I imagine Iheanacho could mimic it. Unless of course he wants to change to something else completely for this match.
I’m interested to see what Mourinho does to combat that Silva/KDB set up. Could try to cut the supply line but that means pressing high on the CB’s and Fernandinho, I don’t know if Mou will fancy doing that. So the alternative would be marking the space in between midfield/defence. Will he want Pogba/Fellaini to be the people doing that?
Feel like putting Pogba behind Ibrahimovic and bringing Morgan in to midfield would work best.

Both statements ring true to me.
But Bayern's case was also due to the oppenents.
In the first year it was clearly visible that Guardiola changed certain elements in possession. Passing rate was higher, but passing length shorter. This way Bayern were able to free themselves from any pressure in midfield while at the same time edging closer and closer to the final third. The change in type of play came with the opponents just straight up giving up on the midfield. This lead to Bayern games becoming more static, possession being even higher and 80% of Bayern's play being sideway passes and resembling a typical game of handball with Bayern passing around the box.
Now I don't critizise Pep for being "riskaverse" in big matches. I critizise him for being riskaverse in the matches against Ingolstadt, Cologne or Augsburg. Instead of insisting on his philosophy, leave the ball to them a bit to create chances on the break yourself instead of clamoring for more dominance and making the game a chore to watch.

Think we'll be using high balls as an escape from the high press. Hard to tell what we'll do when they're in possession but I suspect we'll congest and force them out wide and make them employ skill to beat us on the outside, since they don't really have any target men.
I can't believe something as simple as the return of option files might be enough to pull me back into PES. I bought last year's and hardly played it but because you had to edit everything on your own and I only did the English clubs which made the game feel empty.
It's absurd they can't figure out something that makes everyone happy, but I understand the ncaa don't want to set a precedent where the kids have other opportunities to earn without their nonprofit getting good a cut. You know, because it's all about the education and shit...it's fucking gross.
