I’d like to concentrate on our (the people’s)
perception on a small part of current football. In this case, I’m talking about Josep Guardiola vs Tito
Vilanova. I’d like to point out the differences between the Pep’s Barcelona and
Tito’s Barcelona – tactically and holistically speaking.

On the 27th of May 2009 Barcelona FC won an
historic champions league trophy under the leadership of the ‘Dream Team’
captain Josep Guardiola. The ‘Dream Team’ of 1992 that won the club its first
Champions League trophy in Wembley. This time though, he led the team from the
dugout. The beginning of the Guardiola era was not as smooth as the beginnings
of the some of the more fortunate managers in the more recent history of the
club. After failing to win his first 2 games in the league in disappointing fashion,
criticism and questions seemed to go hand-in-hand for Guardiola. However, with
time things started looking up, and boy did they look up. However, a point to
note was, that even after Pep won all that he won in his first season in charge
of FC Barcelona, there were those people who said that his predecessor (Frank Rijkaard)
handed him the team he used to attain such great success. The years following
would silence those people (for a while at least).
