Returning to Manchester City after a season at FC Barcelona, İlkay Gündoğan finds with admiration Pep Guardiola’s style of play. In a podcast broadcast by the club, the German midfielder (33) explains having had to readjust to the constant adjustments that the Spanish manager makes each season.
“Every year there are little additional details. Guardiola wants his opponents to never be able to fully anticipate our game,” confided the former Borussia Dortmund player, who quickly found his place in the Sky Blues midfield after Rodri’s injury.
Guardiola, a master of adaptation
İlkay Gündoğan was full of praise for the Catalan technician, whom he considers the best coach in the world for his ability to see and transmit what others cannot: “ This is why he is the best coach in the world, because he sees things that others don’t see and he manages to transmit them on the pitch in the best possible way. »
Despite his time at Barcelona, the Mannschaft player once again seems under the spell of the evolving and unpredictable style that Pep Guardiola imposes on his teams.
