falling for mirror's interpretation :rofl: read the whole interview, he actually praised pep
Only mention of Pep or pragmatism in the full interview (Google translate) is this:

By now the world of football, professionals and fans, has been divided into two: those who prefer the so-called beautiful game, and those who prefer pragmatism and results. Obviously it's a simplification, we all know that the truth is in the middle, but you too have ended up in the middle of this discussion. How did we get to this endless derby?

It's in fashion, it's fun! Guardiola, who is an extraordinary coach, what did he do? Everyone thinks starting from the bottom, he bought a goalkeeper who throws the ball eighty meters. This is to say that people often let themselves be duped by things that do not exist: in the end there is to win the game. And all matches are not the same, not to mention that there are many different matches within the match: in September the matches are different from March, in March you need calm, the psychological pressures are greater, the points weigh and the ball it becomes smaller and heavier. They are components that the fans rightly do not evaluate from the outside. It takes fewer schemes and more flexibility and pragmatism.

Which Mirror translated as:

"Play well or get results? It’s a nice game, it’s funny! Guardiola is an extraordinary coach, but what has he done?
"Everyone thinks about building from the back, but he has signed a goalkeeper who makes long passes and launches the ball 80 meters away. This is to say that often people are deceived by things that don’t exist. The main thing is you have to win games.



Whats the more charitable interpretation that I am missing? The "Great coach but what has he done?" is not praise. Especially if what follows that is a sarcastic caricature of his tactics.

Here is the full interview: https://www.gqitalia.it/sport/article/massimiliano-allegri-juve-vita-senza-pallone-intervista

Also :lol: at the implication that this comes at the expense of winning. Pep won much more and in multiple & superior leagues than Allegri ever will.

Allegri can barely win over half the fan base at Juve & Milan. Pep is the last coach he should criticize. He isnt Sarri

What did he mean to say maybe these are all bad translations? Help me out here.


Play well or get results? It’s a nice game, it’s funny! Guardiola is an extraordinary coach [because of what he has done]. [How does he do it]?
"Everyone thinks [its his secret is just about building from the back], [that]
he signed a goalkeeper who makes long passes and launches the ball 80 meters away [but there is much more complexity to his approach than that]. The main thing is you have to win games [and he has been successful using that approach in Spain, Germany and England which is why he is extraordinary].

Surely thats not what he meant to say eh?


The football Italia translation is similar to the previous ones

Play well or get results? It’s a nice game, it’s funny! Guardiola is an extraordinary coach, but what has he done? Everyone thinks about building from the back, but he has signed a goalkeeper who makes long passes and launches the ball 80 meters away,” he said.
“This is to say that often people are deceived by things that don’t exist.
“The main thing is you have to win games. Not all the matches are the same and there are more games inside one. The games in September are not like those in March when there is more pressure and you need more calm. The ball becomes smaller and heavier. We need fewer tactics, more versatility and pragmatism.
“Players must understand and think. I want them to find different solutions when they find a closed door.”



and has this funny stat. Inferiority complex

Allegri has never won a game against the Spanish tactician, collecting three defeats and three draws in six games against him.

...how can anyone say that he's bad coach?! :sergio: ...
that's the level now?

just for the record, nobody said that pep was a bad coach. i've seen this before: making shit up, refer to that as facts later, and repeat it many, many times hoping that nobody remembers how it started. it's called propaganda and i thought you hated it. don't be that guy.
