Bayern’s President Teased The ease of transfer of Pep Guardiola at Manchester City

DBasia.news –  Offensive games, entertaining the audiences, and synonymous with ball possession, have always been the hallmark of the team coached by Pep Guardiola. That style of play made him the top European coach.

12 years of undergoing a coaching career, Guardiola began training Barcelona B (2007-08), Barcelona (2008-2012), Bayern Munich (2013-2016), and now trains the team he has trained for three years, Manchester City.

The admirer of the offensive football style of total football Johan Cruyff was able to combine the slick game of his team with the trophy. Nevertheless, there are few questions about his coaching career.

Every time Guardiola coached the team, he was fortunate enough because club owners would grant his wish to recruit certain players. Whether it’s at Barcelona, ​​Bayern, until now with Man City.

An example can be seen in 2017, precisely after the summer transfer market. Man City spent 130 million pounds to strengthen the defensive wing by buying three defenders.

The funds were used up to buy Kyle Walker, Benjamin Mendy, and Danilo. The investment has indeed led to the success of two League Cup titles and one Premier League. But also raises the theory: Guardiola always gets what he wants.

Guardiola has never felt a test when building a team with a makeshift squad. The theory was even stronger after Bayern President Uli Hoeness spoke of Guardiola’s wish which was always granted by Sheikh Mansour, Man City’s owner.

“My friend, Pep, told me what happened when he wanted to bring in a player worth 100 million euros. He collected some players’ videos and flew to meet Sheikh (Mansour),” said Hoeness, quoted by Marca

“When they met, they ate while watching a video from Pep, then Sheikh transferred the money and the next day, he got the funds needed,” he continued.

The owner of a rich club may always fulfill Guardiola’s wishes every time he wants a new player. But there are consequences that can be borne from the massive learning.

The reason is, UEFA, as the European Football Federation, applies FFP (Financial Fair Play) rules to prevent the existence of a dominant force because of their financial power that is lame with other clubs.
