Impressive list of failures.
Guardiola buckled under the weight of life
Personal and professional crises coincided like a textbook. It is important that Josep has an influential person nearby who can send him to a psychiatrist. The great Arrigo Sacchi, former Milan coach, was visiting a psychiatric clinic when he became obsessed with football and suffered from it. Guardiola is also a passionate person. It is important for him not to fall into obsession. Many psychologists were alarmed when the Spaniard hit his head and cut his nose with a nail. The Spaniard ended up in Manchester himself, which is also bad. My wife and I lived in different cities for almost six years. They officially divorced in December after 30 years of dating. If the spectacular Cristina Serra has found a suitor, this is another reason for Guardiola’s personal crisis. Add to that the fear that Manchester City could face further sanctions for managerial misdeeds. Another punch in the stomach. Another stupid draw in a match where they were leading 2-0 in the eightieth minute secured Josep’s place on this list alongside other mentors whose work can easily be called controversial. We want Guardiola to recover in every way. The loss of a strong relationship was a blow, even though her marriage had been falling apart for years. And football is to blame for all of this, as Guardiola chose Manchester City over attention to his wife.
Arteta doesn’t care about tactics, but the weight of the ball
The departure of Arsenal sporting director Edu Gaspar was a good sign of trouble. The Brazilian got on well with the Spaniard. We worked together to create Arsenal, which competed for trophies. He rarely won them, but at his best, Arteta created a charming racing team. And then he gave himself away. Mikel decided that to win the league, Arsenal had to become deadly boring. Miscalculated. It’s hard to be a “bus”. Even when they call young Mourinho’s Chelsea that in retrospect, they are wrong. Drogba, Lampard, Duff and Terry were not boring footballers. Jose simply chose tactics that suited Chelsea and bothered their opponents. But Arteta chooses models that suit Howe and Amorim. Arsenal lost 0-2 to Newcastle in the first League Cup semi-final. And then they were eliminated on penalties by Manchester United from the FA Cup. The old football law worked. Havertz faked in the penalty area, but Odegaard missed the penalty. In the series, the German Kai missed his shot, when he shouldn’t have, because he grabbed his opponent’s neck with his hand during a fight and could have been sent off. Motta drowns in the matrix of eternal zeros
Thiago is more difficult. Arteta and Guardiola have been in the same place for a long time, the creators of Arsenal and Manchester City, the main bosses. Motta had a great season with Bologna, propelling the modest club into the Champions League. I went to Juventus, where the problems extend beyond the roof of Turin’s Mole Antonelliana, the tallest brick building in Europe. Motta can make dozens of excuses, but Thiago is responsible for turning Juventus into a club of perpetual draws. Last season, coach Allegri, after 20 rounds, scored 49 points and was two points behind the leader Inter. We fought for the Scudetto, even if we didn’t have enough strength at the end of the season. Moreover, Massimiliano was criticized in this matter, his team made mistakes. Motta now has 15 points less over the same period. And the most important thing is that Juventus has 13 draws. Insane statistics drag the coach down. Motta knows how to swim, because he is a strong and talented young specialist. But it will be difficult. The Turin club risks losing Vlahovic and making transfer errors. They bid for defender Araujo from Barcelona and could sign controversial striker Kolo Muani from
Пари Сен-Жермен .Ancelotti fails to cope with giants
I didn’t beat Atlético, it was a draw. Defeated twice by Barcelona. I couldn’t cope with Milan, although they also had a crisis of results before Conceicao arrived. Carlo did not beat Athletic, the Bilbao club beat Real Madrid. There are a lot of failures and a lot of bad decisions from the coach. Carlo trusted Perez too much. It’s as if he’s forgotten how the Spaniard kicked out the Real Madrid coach almost a decade ago. If a team featuring Vinicius, Bellingham and Mbappe fails to beat Atlético Madrid and Barcelona for the Spanish crown, or if exiting the Champions League is humiliating, Ancelotti will leave Madrid. But even in the case of one in two punctures, Pérez can back down and the players will ask for changes. Unlike Guardiola, who has the full confidence of the management of Manchester City, Carlo knows that at Real Madrid, the president is the constant. Leaders left, mentors were fired. There is a line of people who want to instill more interesting football into a strong team. But Ancelotti didn’t even get the best out of young Guler and Endrik in the prankster role.
Postecoglou lacks balance in projects
Klopp said he often watches Liverpool matches and praised Slot for his balance in the game, which Jurgen really likes. But for Tottenham it is different. There’s a conflict here, since Postecoglou is an incredibly nice guy. After Angelos was insulted during a visit to a fifth division club, the coach supported opposing fans with a sense of humor, but noted the lack of spectators. The inveterate crooks were shouting things that made Angelos want to punch them in the face. Sometimes Tottenham manages to beat famous opponents. Manchester City scored 4 goals and Manchester United 3 goals. Spurs know how to pull themselves together for just one game, so they beat Liverpool at home 1:0 in the first semi-final of the League Cup. But Postecoglou’s obsession with strictly attacking football puts the Greek Australian on this list. On the night from Wednesday to Thursday, Angelos plays against Arteta. In a two-legged match – Tottenham suffered 10 defeats in 20 rounds before the north London derby
English Premier League anything can happen. From both sides losing to a 4:4 draw. And that simply indicates a crisis in coaching. Postecoglou plays beautiful football, but there is no sacred balance. Injuries certainly have an impact. But Spurs went into extra time against a fifth division club, and Angelos has a strange team.Pep Guardiola
