Colo and Pep are obsessed with football
Colo and Pep are obsessed with football
Hidden smiles appeared on "Vicente Calderon" last Saturday. All they commented that situation when he was bowled second ball on the pitch exactly at Malaga counterattack in the last minute of the first half. And those smiles were saying the same thing. "This is trained." And as we contemplate whether Diego Simeone has ordered the boy, chasing balls to throw one of them - the answer seems clear. Even those performances are on the order of Colo. Children very well know when to submit a quick ball and when to hide, when to give into the arms of an opposing player and when you handed it over land. When to throw a ball on the ground to stop the game, and when not. Pep Guardiola probably would never have resorted to such a move, but is able to cause to be made laboratory analysis of deodorant or perfume to understand the reasons for permanent injuries to one of his player. They are two people who obsess and even suffocate the people who work with them. These two will face each other today, and the prize for the winner will be final.
The future
It sounds strange, but the first similarity is that for both coaching career seems pre-drawn. It is practically since before the start, so it seems at the moment.
Guardiola, however controversial personality, is well aware of what follows. Will begin a new challenge in England led the City - a step that is required in its development and that meets its ambitions as a coach. He knows that will not work until the age of 60. His real desire is to educate and educate their children and to do so away from the tension in Barcelona.
Colo there is still time before the situation changes. Currently thoughts to leave Atletico, where he himself feels he is doing something that will go down in history. There are clear idea, however, that one day he will be a coach in Italy, where long game, and probably in England, although much depends on the national team of Argentina. "It was my life. Sooner or later I'll end this post because I feel that the circle of life closes there," he said Simeone time ago.
Words as weapons
Both Bayern and Barca Guardiola made comments to the media one of its main weapons. From the press room he sets the agenda, giving orders, including a press officer of the club, and control "toxic" environment, primarily in the locker room, which is full of men with high self-esteem. To achieve it, seeks to apply lessons learned from his deceased "father" Johan Cruyff. "It felt that we could dominate the field. Johan came and told us," Follow me. "Encourage them to follow his coaching instinct rather than logic on the field," said Pep before the journalist Jordi Baste in an interview. Unlike Simeone in their speeches before the game he always tried to score and football element. He never missed tactical explanations, although his players have at their disposal endless technical abilities and each of them can easily implement his ideas on the pitch.
Simeone also less interested in the technical capabilities of their guys. However deepens and tactical details. Emphasizing the psychological side of football. His words make you goose bumps, they make you feel constantly feel. None of them accepted to stand in the dark in terms of what comes and goes out of his team to the media. Simeone literally went crazy when in 2014 dietitian team gave an interview to a newspaper in which explain how and when eaten players from the first team. I.e. its players - Simeon.
details
Guardiola offered group and have snacks and lunch for the whole team - complete control over eating. Messi will never forget the day that he banned sodas and showed him how to divide the fish bones. And insist on orderly life of their players, Pep always managed to find out if any of them went out in discos in Barcelona. And of course, his great pain and now Bayern - medical surveillance. When he was in Barcelona, he could not understand why Khafre spent more time in the infirmary than on the pitch. He reached that require laboratory analysis of deodorant and perfume the player to see if he could in them reason. In Munich, unable to understand the pandemic of injuries during his three seasons, he did not hesitate to confront the doctor Bayern legend Hans-Wilhelm Muller Wolfarth, who eventually retired after 38 years at the club. Simeone does not analyze perfumes, but requires their players to go through the scales before and after each workout. Scrutinizes each subsequent obsession to rival and synthesized everything in the video, no longer than 10-12 minutes. Even after the last game of the season presents plan for preseason.
madness
"Work, work and more work" is the motto of Simeone who absolutely match and Guardiola. At one likes to work at home while the other likes to stay away over eight hours club Bayern base. Both squeezing his players fully. Both, however, they become even better players. "It is demanding that the players are finally drained from Pep" admits Thiago Alcantara in the biographical book Guardiola written by Marty Etzion. "It makes us better. It makes us much better," he says Huanfran do for Simeone. And for proof we only have to look at his incredible growth - the very Hunfran and his teammates as Miranda, Godin, Filipe Luis and Gaby.
"Led him to the restaurant to make him forget about football, but after 32 minutes his thoughts again somewhere else. His eyes looking at the ceiling. They seem to listen and shakes affirmative head, but is watching. Now think about left-back, midfield and how to be strengthened wings, "said an aide Guardiola - Manel Estiarte.
Simeone does the same. Fold napkins, piecing cups, forks, knives and all that is needed to display the tactical scheme. And if that seems a little - to consult horoscopes, watch what signs are the players before deciding whether to draw or not. And himself admits: "I believe very much in this."
And football
The style of their football is what distinguishes them Guardiola and Simeone. Bayern Munich and Atletico. Ball against space. To attack to defend (Bayern) or defend, to attack (Atlético). Looking goals gradually (Bayern) or directly (Atlético). Here they are similar in anything.
