That's because his teams weren't nearly as good as his Barca, to allow him to play exactly how he wants. So he had to develop some other things, compromise a bit.
His flexibility is him compromising and tweaking some aspects of his philosophy. The pragmatic side of him. If he could go back to the 2011 team right now, he'd play the same more or less. Maybe a bit better, maybe a bit worse, but with not much difference.

it shocking how lackluster an aerial threat this guy is for his height. he literally ducked underneath the cross messi whipped in from the corner when the score was 1-1, when all he had to do was just tip-toe and the ball would've been in the back of the net. neuer was beaten
there's no way this guy starts next season, but ive said this for almost four years now. my goodness

Pep is crossing to Jesus.
Are you trolling or what?
When I say crossing, I meant:
1. having players who can cross
2. having players in the box who are a real threat in the air
Inspite of Jesus scoring a header here and there, he is not an aerial threat.
But just Pep's type of crossing.
Crossing to Jesus is the same shit as playing through balls to Coutinho, Griezz and Suarez.
So, no, Pep hasn't evolved that much.

Pep had players crossing it to Lewa at Bayern. At City he had already had one of the best CFs Aguero and a promising youngster Jesus when he came. It is not like he bought Jesus, he is simply working with what he has got. Ag?ero is first choice when he?s healthy.

Of course, it is. Many of those players dominated the club and international scene, winning all sorts of trophies. Players who are mentally weak, don't dominate games, and win often.
This man. I don't know why he keeps starting. I've been saying for a while now he's one of our weakest links. His mentality is weak as fuck right now. It's beyond fixable. LOOK at the Bayern players and compare it to this guy. FUKING LOL.
No drive, gives passes away too easily and can't even commit to a header. He needs to be the first to leave the club. If this f***** starts next season Barcelona will find a new rock bottom.

He was great for a time when we needed him, but compared to other DM's in Football today he's a relic.
Teams want DM's who are not only good on the ball but far more mobile, Physical and Athletic in general. Ironically Yaya, was the best example of this. Sure he wasn't a pure bonafide DM but his Skillset and other Attributes such as his physicality and Athleticism during his peak would no doubt fit in perfectly in this era, hell he was a good fit nearly 12 years ago.
It's time to move on from the idea that a DM has to be like Busi, no we need someone who is far more suited for this era of Football and not some bonafide 1:1 scale Busi.

oh he'll start next season because videos like this alter the perception of just how bad he is in real time
regardless of how washed suarez is, it's a whole lot harder to replace him than it is this guy with the midfielders out there for barca

I love this interview from Muller. Really well articulated and shines the light on Flick. Dude is an overnight sensation if there ever was one, though going into the game I saw how Bayern hadn't lost since 2019 so I knew they were damn good. I just didn't know about Flick.
That's a hypetrain I believe in. Coaches who are extremely focused and think with clarity about a system and every one of its pieces. They don't leave anything to improvisation or just expect "X player will just go and do Y to bail us out and we'll be fine".
Bayern have that champions aura around them, same as other teams of the decade. Pep's Barca, 14/15 Barca, Zidane's RM, Heynckes Bayern, Klopp's Liverpool. They act as a single unit with belief and elevate each other, not like a bunch of random cliques in the squad who casually show up and do their training like a day job.
Everyone is firing in great form. They were making incredible plays like it was muscle memory for them, no hesitation whatsoever. Hunger and attack all the time, as if this is their game and the opposition is just playing it. The wolf on top of the hill isn't as hungry as the wolf climbing the hill, and Bayern play with that mentality. They took incredible initiative and simply knew they were better prepared and ready to break us down.
Its been an incredible turnaround for them, last season against Liverpool they looked past it, in every aspect, it looked as if it would take years to rebuild, a year later and they are flying.
I don?t understand why spend 100M on one player when you can use half the money to sign a world class manager that can change the entire team

With proper manager, clear vision and players follow you and are determined to work on themselves. Look Goretzka and lewandowski. They are bodybuilders. Fuck sake, even thiago looks bulkier/fitter then any of our middlefielders/forwards.
For example.
Ramos looks like a fortress, boateng was working on himself you can tell, tiago silva looks ok for his age.
Then look at pique. Lmao.
Busquets look like a dead meat on two sticks.
I wonder how would suarez perform if he has a body of lewandowski.
Our training regime is useless, we already have the team full of ballers, but they need that extra work to be slightly faster, stronger in duels and maybe they can compete again.
Look at milner. Even Modric has some muscles
Every top team right now has that combination of tech gifted players who acknowledged that they need to work on themselves if they want to be competitive with younger ones.
Look at davies. Then look at semedo. Im not saying we need a team of bodybuilders, but barca is the only 'big' team that first 11 looks completely out of shape and not athletic enough.
