What has changed between the professor and the student?
The first Barcelona season approached to finish without a
coach who made him history in the past few years, "Josep Guardiola"
and his friend the new coach - old "Tito Vilanova," which shifted
from assistant to coach of the first team, he spent a season full of
contradictions, joys and sorrows, successes and failures...
Crowning the team title Liga prominent witness to the
success of Tito Vilanova relative during the first seasons, and his failure in
the semi-final of the Champions League and Copa del Rey taste the alarm and
push team officials pinkies to ask a series of questions in order to avoid the
end of the era in which I talked about the press a lot.
Access to this stage makes a lot of round charming gawkers
compare between Barcelona with Guardiola and Barcelona Tito and asking the
fundamental question is "Why did you see a change between the era of Pep
and Tito era?” We will try to answer a question as much as possible in this
report published celebrating the coronation of the team pinkies Spanish league
title this season.
The first difference: rotation between players
It is clear that Tito Villanova coaches who prefer to rely
on a limited number of players and consistency on a certain, but the injuries
that have swept the team this season, we've seen based on 14 or 15 players only
during the season, which is something we did not entrust him with Josep
Guardiola, who was based on 22 or 23 players per season and on a regular basis
as it was giving the opportunity for players Alcantara P we saw repeatedly
calling on "Cuenca", "Telo", and "Montoya" before
signing some contracts professional company of the first team, which was the
team can reach the end of the season in a better position.
The second difference: the psychological aspect of players
Another point in my opinion superior to the philosopher Pep,
often seen decline in the level of some of the players in the era of Guardiola
but quickly regained their levels after a discussion or an interview or a
tribute to the right of the Pep party something that we no longer notice the
company of Tito Vilanova, who spent a group of players under his command
periods vacuum lasted much like those experienced by Alexis Sanchez for more than
two-thirds of the current season, or going through the top scorer of the
historic team's Spanish "David Villa" and his "Gerard
Pique," and who are suffering from the decline of a very large level this
season, and what we have seen in recent games from actions of David party or
statements by a friend "Shakira" makes us ask the big question marks
about the psychological aspect of players and how to deal with it within the
team .
The third difference: the second half of trainers
Professor beats the pupil again. Blue grana began the match
badly this season complements as bad as demonstrated especially in big games
fell by the Working pinkies against Bayern Munich or Milan match in the Spanish
league and King's Cup against Real Madrid or even the match against Valencia.
If we go back to Pipe, we will notice that uprisings Barcelona many in the
second half, but the team began badly in the first half, the second half will
be different and often saw change of a loss in the first half to win wide in
the second half, not a secret that coaches play a pivotal role in restoring the
spirit of their players at halftime corrects some tactical mistakes or change
the configuration and involve players are able to inject new blood into the
team, in "the first half of the players and the second for trainers."
Fourth difference: dependency on Messi
It is true that Josep Guardiola is to make Messi the most
important elements of the team and the player who does not wheel spin team
properly only presence of the organization, but he has not forgotten plans tail
in emergency situations, something absent from Tito Vilanova this season, the
more missed Messi saw different team from the one that entrust its, established
a "normal" can fall in front of a persistent discount orderly rows.
The figures attest to pipe that the results of the team without Messi was
excellent, which is no longer the case in the era of Tito Vilanova.
Difference V: possession of the ball, but...
Still Barcelona was also accompanied by Pep preferably
possession of the ball throughout the game, even if it is sterile, even in the
game that defeated them in front of Bayern Munich ice cool or in front of Milan
two straight and against Real by three goals to aim it has been dominating the
ball more than his opponent, but the difference in my opinion is reflected in
the rapid recovery of the ball. In the era of Pep was the whole team put
pressure on the opponent once lost him the ball and Iniesta becomes the first
defender in the team, but Tito Vilanova retreated fitness level of Xavi and
emptied Iniesta roles offensive made us watch rivals Barcelona reach areas
Catalans on numerous occasions, which cost him receiving targets more than past
seasons.
