Flip Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 News out of Brazil is that Guardiola is now CBF prime choice to succeed Mano. However, salary and fact he's not Brazilian does count against him. Felipao is now not even in the top 5 list with Tite, Abel braga and that cunt Luxemburgo (ex-national team coach who was fired because he was earning money from player transfers who he selected to the national team just so their prices would go up). We will see how this pans out, but among those 4, Guardiola has to become the new manager. The other ones are decent but will end up being just like Mano and Dunga, Tite's team is a boring extremely organized team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 In my humble opinion Guardiola is in danger of being criminally overrated. He made Barcelona play brilliantly of course, but it's got a bit of the Rodgers/Swansea about it as the foundations when he took over were there already.

Flip Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 He completely changed their style of play though. Foundations were there but no one were using them. Don't forget he won the CL twice in 4 years and changed their style as they didn't play like this under Rijkaard. I just don't know if Brazil have the players to play his style. We have the fullbacks for sure But our midfield lack so much quality in possession he would need to change the style of play that he used with Barcelona.

Tiresias Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Also his initially counter intuitive move of Messi from the wing to the centre (at the expense of Ibrahimovic) has been in retrospect, genius Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I'm still hoping for Scolari, but if it isn't him my only two other options would be Muricy or Guardiola as I for a fact know I would get the excitement back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Unfortunately the Brazilians and Abramovich share that sentiment. Sports is entertainment and people want to see something nice. A 1-0, 1-0, 1-0 a la Italy doesn't make anyone happy tbh. I wouldn't mind, my sports teams don't win enough, so for me it would be all about winning. Abramovich? Don't think you can level that at him. Most of the Chelsea teams since he bought them have been tedious as fuck to watch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 the lack of good looking football is all abromovich's fault, for not giving any manager time to build a proper squad, leaving aging relics in place and giving them huge amounts of player power and so managers have to work with what was left over from Mourinho's squad and the occasional add on. It's not like he's been hiring managers like fat sam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 For me it doesn't matter if it's him or Felipão, in the end whoever comes in needs to win the World Cup, its as easy or hard as that. http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/8341/28a81ea1472042198042c0b.png It's going to be SO shit when Yao stops making me laugh.

ponsaelius Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 In my humble opinion Guardiola is in danger of being criminally overrated. He made Barcelona play brilliantly of course, but it's got a bit of the Rodgers/Swansea about it as the foundations when he took over were there already. No, it's really the other way round. Most people seem to think he's not all that for exactly the reasons you've listed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people seem to think he's not all that for exactly the reasons you've listed. Not to mention they finished 3rd when he took over and he was largely responsible for making Iniesta and Xavi more important to the team, brought Busquets and Pedro through and bought Pique and Alves. It wasn't just handed to him on a plate, he took them from 3rd behind Villarreal to the Treble in less than 12 months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 You can't doubt his managerial abilities ffs. He's the most successful manager in Barcelona history. And in his young career already one of the most successful ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in his young career already one of the most successful ever. yes while all that is true I wonder how he will cope outside of Barca, the next club he goes to is not likely to have as good a youth system as Barca have or have a team near the talent he had at his disposal there and certainly not anyone of the talent of Messi who at times acted like a get out of jail free card when they were in a spot of bother. His transfer record (if he was the one who decided on the deals, not sure if thats the case though he certainly had to have some input) is patchy with some very expensive flops in there.
