I decided to watch..
Bayern is terrible, man I was wrong about tuchel, I really liked him back in the day, now I wouldn't want him anywhere close to my club.
Based on 1 game you watched? Bit reactionary that?
Alonso seems to have been paying more attention than Xavi to pep in training, his team plays so fluid.
Xavi's football at it's best is about getting it wide and having wingers who can beat his man.
Bayer from this 1 game only that I've seen, plays more connected, all the players movement has a purpose.
We'll see how he does in a high pressure situation soon.
Well, because you can't teach coaching/managing. You can learn the basics of tactics and training sessions but being a top manager is a unique talent which requires high IQ, high EQ, tactical acumen, man management, task delegation skills and authority/charisma. Most importantly there's a managerial X Factor or instinct which can't be taught(similar to an elite goalscorer's instinct or an elite midfielder's vision).
None of Ferguson's assistants or ex players turned into great managers. Not every number 2/assistant can transition into a good head coach. Based on my ball knowledge, Xavi just lacks the talent to be a manager. Honestly don't see any potential in him.
