Guardiola lost to himself in that Final like he lost to himself against Jose in 2010 : too much thinking when he clearly have the squad to trash his opponent.
Anyway Tuchel or Flick tit for tat. we'll see
Xavi it is for now
Let's talk about Xavi's replacement (2024)
- Thread starter Mrgandalf
- Start date

Xavi - behind La Masia, Van Gaal, Pep, Enrique.
Yes, there are complaints about him, but the person, at least, has a good theoretical basis. He has had several interviews before joining Barcelona and it is clear that he understands football well at a tactical level. The practical part is lame, and for a moment I had the feeling that he was just a good theorist.
But with Flick, nothing is clear.
Let's take his full season in 2021-2022.
Yes, there was a history of injuries, but Xavi had similar problems this season.
So, first place in the championship. 34 games, 24 wins, 6 draws, 4 losses.
99 goals scored, 44 missed.
Let's take a look at more advanced numbers.
xG - 76
xGa - 39
xPTS - 67
These are the numbers from the understat site, you can refer to the more accurate fbref resource, but the numbers are not much different.
Let's take a look at the TOP 6.
Yes, xG statics are not a panacea, for example, you can create a very dangerous moment that will not end with a shot, or your goal may have a similar situation, but at the moment this statistics is the best we have. Yes, it would be better if someone sat down and analyzed each match and then looked at such statistics, but none of us will do that now.
And so, these are Bayern's statistics for the 2020-2021 season, when Flick was at the helm of the team as head coach.
Now we look at our shitty season in La Liga, where the level of opposition is definitely not lower, but even higher.
*** When assessing xG and xGa, keep in mind that La Liga has 4 more rounds than the Bundesliga.

I'll never get tired of Hansi comments, saying he got lucky to be the right guy at the right time during COVID stricken football. Since then his CV has two sackings in a conservative football culture, which is Germany.
Klopp mentioned in one of his recent farewell clips that he's thinking about the next chapter of his life. I doubt it has anything to do with football.
If you want a German for fucks sake then it's Tuchel.

Even when the doors were open, Hansi 'Ponzi' was blazing past likes of Spurs and Chelsea away with 5 and 7 goals
It's all to his credit that he constructed an attacking juggernaut crumbling down all opposition.
Only Barca 10/11 and Barca 14/15 had such an overwhelming dominance in a season in Europe against any opposition whatsoever

It depresses me greatly that, considering they want a German coach, they haven't considered one that has been the 3rd best manager in Europe this season ( Sebastien Hoeness ) and instead consider two managers who have done unbelievably poorly in their last two jobs. ( Tuchel and Flick )
Stuttgart have been unreal this season, quick, fast attacking football, scoring loads of goals and putting a lot of games to bed by half time. And none of their players are particularly recognisable.
Our general scouting, not only on managers, but players as well, is so so unoriginal. Same mediocre, safe options that are destined to underwhelme.
We would not be imaginative enough to go for a, Arne Slot, for example, like Liverpool just have.

Sebastien Hoeness rejected Bayern some weeks ago.
He doesn't want to leave Stuttgart this summer for any club.
Like Alonso, he wants to continue his project and play CL with his team
