If you were a Bayern fan, you wouldn’t have expected to see this happen. Few years ago, Bayern Munich were known across Europe for being a lethal side when it boiled down to attack, and they were ruthless and direct in it as well. It was virtually impossible to stop them, because they attacked with pace and trickery.
But when Guardiola took charge, some said he would revolutionize the way they play. Some said, it will be too hard to alter the philosophy of the team, especially when it won them the Champions League the previous season. But Guardiola isn’t a man that says no to challenge; neither is he a man that adopts a style that he isn’t familiar with.
The video below probably depicts the gravity of the transformation that has taken place in Munich, with their stars now being absolutely comfortable in keeping the ball and moving it around across the pitch to make them unpredictable as well. Fantastic stuff!
