Is Guardiola s passing and controlling football tactics declining? Is it related to this if Manchester City s poor playing is related to this?

When I browse football news, there is a phenomenon that I don’t think is good, that is, some media will evaluate a person using the result theory of “success, king, defeat, bandit.”

When you succeed, you praise him, and you wish you could blow him up; when you fail, you beat him up and criticize him for nothing. This conclusion is actually very unobjective.

Manchester City is missing in all four major players this season, and Guardiola's pass-by and control football has been criticized again.

However, if you really watch Manchester City games, their changes in the past two seasons, Guardiola has not said that he played completely as a pass control. The style of this team is completely different from Barcelona back then. The

team still has a rich sense of layering.

However, the main reason for the failure this year is that there are too many injuries. Rodri and others are reimbursed for injuries. The transition between the old and the old is not done well is also one aspect. After De Bruyne's condition declines, there is no new successor to take over, which has greatly affected Manchester City's performance.

The statement is biased when evaluating Guardiola's Manchester City from the "passing football control".

If you really want to find the reason, you should discuss it based on the rationality of personnel adaptation and tactical needs, which will hit Guardiola's key point. His tactics also have pass control, and he needs players with strong adaptability to play a role.

What is adaptability? It is a player who meets Guardiola's needs and tactical concepts. This type of player can only be stable if the team's performance is sufficient.

Like Barcelona had a good record back then, there were technical players such as Xavi, Iniesta, and Messi in the team. Those who were a little less were also good players like Pedro Perry, and they did not suffer any technical losses.

With these players, Guardiola's pass and control can play.

However, in the past two years, Manchester City has not had many suitable passes and controls in the team. De Bruyne's condition has fluctuated as he gets old. David Silva has been away for a long time and has retired. Players who have played passes and controls for Guardiola and are in line with the system have all left.

The current players are Marmush and others. The characteristics of these players are more impactful and have a bit of "blunt-minded and violent".

Isn't it very exciting for a long shot like Marmush? His long shots and personal threats will remind you of Alvarez who left in the past, and they are all a bit of a single-handed shadow.

With these players, Guardiola would not be able to play more passes and controls. It must be a routine of crossing, direct passes and cuts.

The tall Haaland can't make people have a height advantage, just give him the ground, right? Occasionally, you still have to use the advantages of physical confrontation to create opportunities for the team.

It turns out that when evaluating football, I mentioned a point: will there be chickens or eggs first? Is there a tactic or a player in football? The answer should be players first.

An excellent head coach must learn to be flexible and tailor-made to arrange tactics according to the team's situation. Players will play tactics as they are characterized by, rather than just playing according to their own philosophical model.

does not mean that you are not capable, but that "you can't put the pot without good food". This is a different concept.

Just like Manchester United's Amorin, what are the current players who match his 3421 tactics? There are very few people in the team who have played this tactic and do not have the adaptability of the lineup. If you force yourself to play three defenders, can Manchester United's performance be stable? It's not possible either.

If you encounter some strong teams, you will be defeated and you will not be able to succeed.

tactics are dead, but personnel changes occur every day. A transfer, a serious injury, a suspension, etc. will cause trouble to the head coach's arrangement.

When there is a shortage of personnel, can the player who is not suitable for playing pass control and let him play? I think everyone understands this principle, what is the problem here?

No tactic will be invincible in the world. If the right players arrange suitable tactics, 11 people in the team can understand tacitly, so that an invincible army can be born.

I think Guardiola's pass-by-control football will definitely be carried forward in the future, as long as it is necessary to have excellent players like Xavi and Iniesta. With these people passing-by-control football, they can reappear.
