da aposte e ganhe： Maybe Pep Guardiola’s journey to the Premier League isn’t as clear cut as the Manchester fans think it is.
da blaze casino： I hesitate to suggest that Pep will be with us in the Premier League next year because there is always that hint of another year out of the game. But, if you listen to the ITK’s in world football who write about him in such glowing terms, his arrival in England is a sure fire thing.
But is it?
Pep Guardiola is the type of manager that any club would welcome. However, not just any club will land his services. Only the very elite will benefit from his knowledge, his passion and his amazing ability to win any trophy anywhere. At least so far. He laid the blueprint for the current Barcelona team, who sit second in La Liga with a game in hand, to go on and achieve much more within their domestic game. He led the club to 13 trophies in a four year spell. Bayern Munich have always been a force in and out of Germany, but to win league and cup there as well, shows a remarkable strength of character in dealing with the world’s elite players.
Whether he joins Manchester City or Manchester United – he will bring trophies, year after year.
Then there is Arsenal. Maybe none of this is as suggested. Both Manchester clubs have now unsettled their current incumbents by suggesting that Pep is on their radar. Louis Van Gaal, a former manager of both Barcelona and Bayern Munich himself, has not had the best of times at Old Trafford, despite the millions spent. If this year is as unproductive as the previous year, who is to say that he will see out his final year of his contract? Then there’s Manual Pellegrini. His contract was extended in 2015 through to June 2017. So, he has another year to run, but the performances this year have been nowhere near good enough and City sit in third in the Premier League, three points off Arsenal and Leicester.
Which in turn brings me to the Gunners. Over at the Emirates, it’s a different story. Nearing 20 years in the job, Arsene has been one of the club’s most successful managers. He was lambasted by Arsenal fans in the summer for only buying Petr Cech, but once again his team are at the top of the league, albeit on goal difference. His team hasn’t changed much, as he only buys if completely necessary and yet they are still in the Champions League and, but for the odd game, Arsenal look like champions this year. Pep has been an admirer of Wenger for some time and to me, he would slot straight in at the Emirates.
Certainly Arsenal fans could kick back and enjoy what’s to come if it happened, but like Van Gaal and Pellegrini, Wenger has another year to run on his contract and this is why I say that Pep might have a sabbatical again.
This is his time to reflect on where he wants to go, to take a look at the clubs he likes and he won’t feel like he’s pushing anyone aside as the contracts finish for all three managers – he comes across as decent man as well. Wenger also has a luxury that the others don’t have. He can call time on his role whenever he likes. He may well be promoted to ‘upstairs’ as well, but Pep seems a better fit for Arsenal.
Time will tell, but as they said on 1940s radio – this is London calling.
