Guardiola's shadow weighs Mourinho

On Saturday September 10, Jose Mourinho andPep Guardiola met for the first time in Premier League . The Manchester United came to grief unbeaten, having won the Community Shield against Leicester and three wins at the start of the English competition. After losing 1-2 against Manchester City , Mourinho has not yet returned to score any points: defeat in the opening in the Europa League against Feyenoord (1-0) and against Watford (3-1) in Premier.

The small crisis that has already begun at Old Trafford contrasts especially with the great success of its neighbor, the City of Pep Guardiola. The Catalan coach receives praise from experts for their style and play while data placed the 'Citizierns' as leaders with five wins in league and Champions League after thrashing Borussia Monchengladbach (4-0). And it just so happens that the fall of Mou comes after the defeat to Pep. Although Rashford and avoided in the final minutes on the third day of a possible stumbling against Hull City (0-1).

The United highlighted at the start of championship for his defensive solidity and its gunpowder in attack, especially by the Swedish Zlatan Ibrahimovic ; who he scored four goals in the first three games of the set 'red devil'. A solvent team in recent games has seen conceded an average of two goals per game. To all this must be added the inclusion in the elevenPaul Pogba . The most expensive signing in football history has not yet provided all the quality that is presupposed and pressure to him and to the United increases at each meeting.

Which shows that something is wrong at United are the surprising facts that brings Opta. And since 2006 Mourinho did not lose three games in a row as coach (two seasons). And with today's defeat against Watford is the first time the Portuguese coach has lost three consecutive match in a season since I was in Porto in 2001/02. Too many losses for a coach accustomed to winning. United manager has lost 14 of their last 32 games as coach, ie 40 percent of the games.

It is to be seen if Mou can turn the scenario that now exists in the Premier League. For now the shadow of the success of Pep Guardiola weighs him, although the Portuguese coach has time to return to their habitat: the triumph.

Guardiola: "After Messi, comes De Bruyne"

Kevin de Bruyne has started the season flawlessly and excelled once again, this time in victory Manchester City on Bournemouth (4-0) with a goal and an assist. Pep Guardiola it then praised the party and even dared to put a step below Leo Messi .

I can not even be critical of them , "said the coach on TV BT Sports.

The Portuguese coach also was displeased with the result: "I'm always concerned when we do not get the result we want, so it is an obvious situation I'm not very happy with the game.". "In the first 30 minutes we did not play well and that's something we can control. We need to work on and improve, but I said that the performance of the referee and the linesman is not under my control. Here I can not do anything to improve it "said the former coach of Real Madrid .

Mourinho sum ​​for the first time since the 2001-2002 season ( Porto ) three consecutive losses as a technician in one campaign after stumbling against Manchester City , Feyenoord and Watford.

The United Mourinho is already in crisis after losing 3-1 against Watford

The Manchester United of Jose Mourinho is in crisis after suffering their third consecutive defeat, this time against Watford 3-1, and away from the top of the Premier.

Watford who had not started too well the championship after winning 4 of the 12 possible points, completely left Manchester United with his game plan, 3-5-2, which has imposed the Italian coach Walter Mazzarri .

Red Devils Mourinho did not seem to adapt to the umpteenth change of system, which together with the good performance of North London, established a new defeat for the Portuguese coach.

Capua was the author of 1-0 (min.33), Rashford equalized for United (Min.62), Zuniga scored the 2-1 (Min.83) and Deeney, penalty (Min.93) scored the 3- 1 final.

The 1-0 is a good result , " Guardiola said before declaring that his team will have to be taken with patience in order to overcome the goal of Saul Ñíguez . " We will try not to attack as against Madrid. We wanted to go up in five minutes and 20 the tie was already sentenced (in favor of Madrid)". According to Guardiola, "we must find solutions more stable, counterattacks and craer not receive enough chances."

Guardiola praised the behaviour of their players but not obviated make self - criticism for the bad first fifteen minutes of the tie, in which Atletico took the lead with a goal from Saul. "We should have been more intense in the first few minutes because the parties are much here. The ball movement has been slow because the grass is always high, but after the goal we have sobered and in the second half we have been better We goazado and we have many chances to score at least one goal. "

The Catalan coach stressed the capacity of Atletico, that "little thing makes you a goal" and described as "goal" on both Saul, although he stressed both the merit of colchonero player as the "demerit" of their wards that allowed progress the player. "Until then we had not won a duel" he emphasized the ease that took Saul to pierce the goal of Manuel Neuer.

Pellegrini about Guardiola and Champions League won

The Chilean coach of Manchester City , Manuel Pellegrini said - in an interview with marked that although had won the Champions League twice, also in the English side had opted for Guardiola to replace him .

" I do not feel that has not valued my work here, on the contrary. I do not think I will change because the City expected more. The club has always wanted to work with Guardiola, and it is logical, because the relationship comes from Barcelona . Pep was in the market and it seemed clear that they would take when go free. If I had it won two Champions and two Premier League , Guardiola would have been the same , "he said.

Looking ahead to the semifinals of the Champions League, I was emphatic in stating that "Madrid is favorite name and history. In football it remains to be seen. We face the PSG and go as favorites. We are two teams with great players. The Madrid has with a small advantage of playing the second leg at home. "

We will do the best possible balance, because Madrid is lethal , "he closed.

Guardiola: "Atletico has reached a new level in the last five years"

" We need to focus on the two parties." That is the message that has launched Pep Guardiola , Bayern Munich coach, his players before the match of the semifinals of the Champions League against Atletico and Simeone , who has eliminated the club. "Atletico has reached a new level in the last five years", he said Guardiola praised the great work of Simeone at the Calderon. He recalled Bayern coach Atletico has been able to eliminate Barca twice in the last three years in the quarterfinals, proof of its great potential.

"In recent years have conceded very few goals because they are well structured", has he said Bayern coach, who also wanted to remember that "the German players have never played against Atletico will be a great experience for them , " underlined Guardiola who will have to find alternatives offensive to overthrow the defensive structure Simeone , one of the best in Europe.

Mathias Sammer, sports director Bayern has also alerted Atletico Simeone. "It 's a team all passion, options are 50-50. We have to play seven matches in three weeks when we play everything. If you relax 2%, just being second , " said the executive of the Bavarian club.

Does not trust Guardiola . Does not trust Sammer . Does not trust Xabi Alonso . "Atletico is a powerful rival, defend well, but are also good attacking".

Guardiola wins the battle and Bayern goes to semifinals

The Estadio da Luz became a pressure cooker , as feared Thiago Alcantara, but the mirage lasted 38 minutes. Benfica had to give in to the powerful Bayern Munich, and that Pep Guardiola Lewandowski sat on the bench to opt for a hat trick attack clearly addicted to the average tip.

The Portuguese, with the significant drop of the Brazilian Jonas , managed to sow panic in the German box to mark the Mexican Raul Jimenez, former Atletico Madrid. But before the break put Arturo Vidal(again, as in the way) things in place.

That's hopes vanished in Lisbon and Bayern began to show his safety, his conviction that will be on Friday in the draw for the Champions League semifinals.

When Thomas Müller scored the second both, and it became too difficult for the team Rui Vitória, specialist harangue his players with more thrust and heart than anything else.

He gambled by withdrawing the Luso coach Pizzi to get the Brazilian Talisca, who soon prove his punching power with a goal from a free.

But hardly it had time for a comeback, as two goals with just over 10 minutes required to play.

The Estadio da Luz recovered the illusion with the draw, but hung in the air a climate of resignation directly proportional to the German fortress.

One can speak at all ride for Bayern , but it became clear that it is more team and once again deserves to appear in the hype of the last heat, prior to the final at San Siro on May 28.

Guardiola ended strategy paying off, certifying that is an expert in bringing their pupils born winner (as it did in Barcelona) at the top of the top European competition.

The club and the public Lisbon had to settle for at least not lose the match, proof that they have maintained the type in the aggregate.

Pep Guardiola, ready to play with a different alignment hundred consecutive games

Pep Guardiola is on track to align a different eleven hundredth consecutive game, having thus chosen not to repeat an alignment with Bayern Munich from January 2014.

 In fact, if you break your habit and decided to repeat the same lineup against Borussia Mönchengladbach against Hertha, it would be only the second time all the time it takes for Bayern.

"For the harmony, physical and mental well, the rotation is the best solution," said Guardiola when asked about this issue.

"I like when all players can play. Then of course, there are players who play more than others," he added.

"No time to explain to each player why not play every week. If someone does not play does not mean you do not want. And the players know it," said coach Guardiola.

Bundesliga: Pep: declaration of love to the city & staff

Coach Pep Guardiola has let elicit any concrete statements about his future at Bayern Munich on Sunday, but raved about the city and issued a declaration of love to his staff.

 "We speak in peace," he said during Advent visit to the Lower Bavarian Fan club "Bayern Vilsbiburg Bazis" with regard to the interview with Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.

The club boss wants 96 perform this after the last match of the first round in Hanover on 19 December with the coach. "We will," Guardiola announced for the interview to "make the right decision. For the club. For me. That's the most important thing."

Pep raves about employees

Pellegrini and the possible arrival of Guardiola City: "Not a problem for me"

Manchester City coach, Manuel Pellegrini, said rumours of the Spanish press that Josep Guardiola will replace him in the position he is demised next season.

"Do not talk about rumours. It's not a problem for me," said the Chilean coach at a news conference.

Pellegrini also had words for the alleged offer the City made ​​to FC Barcelona Lionel Messi: " Any coach in the world would like to have Lionel Messi, but do not talk about rumors. "

Concerning the two defeats suffered by his team in recent weeks, the engineer said " . It was not a good week for us, we lost two games against Liverpool was an ugly defeat and against Juventus we improve a little, but not the result we really wanted " .

"You never know which team will win the Premier League, Liverpool came here and won, before they lost to Crystal Palace and Palace lost to Sunderland," he added.

Anyway, it was positive about what's next for the club at this time. " Southampton is having a great season, they are unbeaten away from home and have great players. We must play well if we want to win. If we win we will recover at least one position, and then we have the possibility to reach semi-finals of the Capital One Cup. We have two games at home to recover our level. "

Guardiola and Messi soon reunited?

The Spanish press is going crazy - supposedly looks certain that Pep Guardiola replaces next year Manchester City coach Pellegrini. And a superstar for the team it should be on top of it.

 But first things first: What does the Spanish press? Guardiola had decided, after three years in Germany to want to take something new in attack. On the island, he was not, Manchester City stimuli him very much. Manuel Pellegrini should go according to the report, Guardiola would be ready for the Premier League (coming summer free transfer). The quotation from Karl-Heinz Rummenigge ("trainers come, go coach") fits because all too well into the picture. Even Guardiola is replaceable in Munich.

But what has before Manchester City? With Guardiola on the sidelines City could in addition to Bayern and Barca finally become a new strong power in Europe and damage the all-time greats. Especially if the requested Deal works: Lionel Messi is to come - for 250 million euros. "The Sun" reported that the biggest deal in football history could become a reality sooner than many think. Pep and Messi - it worked wonderfully too Barca times. Messi could in Manchester 1.15 million per week, annual salary: € 60 million.

The fact is that money does not matter when Sheikh Club. Remains to be seen whether it is possible really buy everything with money. Messi and Guardiola reunited - that would in any event, the Mega-coup general.
