Much has been said about PL as the most exciting and entertaining Football league in the World.
But has it benefited English Football or elevated England National Football team to great success? Blaming the imports (non English players or managers) has been the 'excuse du jour'! My take is this the weakest link is England Goalkeeping touted as among the Best. |

QUOTE In Germany, some people said he failed at Bayern because he didn't win the Champions League. But I think Bayern were rarely as dominant as under him, when they won three championships in a row. "He's somewhat revolutionised football here. And I believe his influence in England will be devastating, too. By Joshua Kimmich played under Pep Guardiola at Bayern Munich and he has been impressed by Manchester City. Pep Guardiola will have Devastating Influence in England 1. First Pep sent England No.1 Goalkeeper ( 4 times Golden Glove winner) 'to Coventry'. That took much chutzpah in the face of City's fans and Hart's supporters, our opposition including the English media whores. . Yes: Succeeded in IMPROVING City's team with a full team of 11 footballers (not 10 footballers plus GK previously). Not having a GK who lack a repertoire of foot skills and nous and has a propensity to hoof and lumped the ball (upfield or to touch) turning over possession cheaply. 2. Next He redeemed City much maligned (tho justified previously) LB Kolarov who has become a sung hero as CITY surges to records this season. Along the devastating wake our noisy neigbours suffered collateral damage to wit MU much touted LB Luke Shaw who was taken to the cleaners by the likes of Sterling et al. Succeeded in IMPEMENTING or IMPROVISING City's defense with the Inverted Full Backs Tactical Strategy with the likes of Kolarov, Clichy, Zab and Sagna. The Advantages are obvious. The underlying principle? QUOTE Many of the Pep’s ideas and innovations have remained foreign to the Premier League. Guardiola’s approach is an interpretation of the tactical system ‘Positional play’ or ‘Jeugo de Posicion’. The primary aims of which are to create quantitative, qualitative and positional superiority over the opposition. Starting with playing out from the back, it is essential that Guardiola’s teams always have a spare man over the opponents in order to make possession retention more seamless. Crucial to successful implementation of Positional play, the team must also seek to create one v one scenarios with the aim of taking advantage of certain players’ superior quality over their markers. It is also important that the team dictates the movements of the opposition by moving themselves and the ball, drawing opponent players out of spaces/positions which Guardiola’s team wishes to gain. In my experience an important component of being a good footballer is having a repertoire of kicks to allow you to be able to make medium and long range passes accurately. To be able to have low backlifts, to bend (draw or fade) or chip the passes over and away from the opponents for your teammate is FUNDAMENTAL for a top class player. You might have football nous but not able to 'modulate' the ball or passes will make you a low level tier footballer. At the other end one has to hone all the skills to receive or anticipate passes in tight situations. That of course requires practice and game times. I have play in all positions and noted that crossing the ball across the box/ from the wing or corner of the opponents field is basically giving the ball away when the MISMATCH is in the opponents (having a superior defense or have the extra players) favour. Case in point Kolarov is a great crosser of ball on the left flank or wing. But Pep has utilized his Ability to the max by Improving this !! This was illustrated clearly with City's devastating blow to with his upfield cross that BLINDsided MU's CBs. The KEY here is exploiting not only possession but PLAYERS MISMATCHES by dictating the PLAY. Tell me which pair of players are superior (KDB, Nacho) or (Blind, Baily)? What else have you noticed or observed? Stay tune as more case studies are posted here. Pep's Football Philosophy!!! IMPROVATE - Improvise, Innovate and Improve!!!

On the non-players side start with the heirarchy -FA et al
QUOTE Eight current and former Premier League managers stand accused of receiving “bungs” for player transfers after The Daily Telegraph found widespread evidence of corruption in the English game. As Sam Allardyce lost his job as England manager following the Telegraph’s disclosures about his conduct, the Football Association faced a separate crisis over the alleged bribery of managers. Football agents were filmed by undercover reporters boasting about how many managers they had paid, with one agent saying that in football, “everything is under the table”. It leaves the FA facing its biggest crisis in recent years, as it deals with evidence that attempts to clean up the game have failed, while it also has to begin the search for a new manager of the England team. Will FA clean up the game (whether corruption or match fixing) let alone Revolutionizing England's National Football Team? Don't hold your breath. |
