Peps Bayern

[Miragepredator]

I would like to see how Pep set up his Bayern team as I never got the chance to watch his Bayern side

From what I have read before,The German league was known to be a counter attacking league(from an article I remember reading) so as a result Pep decided to use IWB which would help the team prepare for counters by covering the centre of the pitch

I would also like to know how Pep used Lewandowski.We all know how Pep used Messi as the F9 but I want to see how Pep got Lewandowski to score as much as he did

There is a book called Pep Confidential written by Martin Perarnau detailing Pep's first season at Bayern Münich. It offers quite a lot of insight into his methods and phylosophy although it is a little biased and not as unfiltered as Perarnau will have you believe.

There is also a very nice site called Spielverlagerung.com with in depth analysis of matches and teams focusing on the bundesliga. You will find several articles and essays on Guardiola's Bayern there. You can also try to find information on the bigger german version of the site, if you don't know german just have google translate it into english since the languages are similar enough for you to get a decent translation.

Guardiola is quite a flexible manager by the way. He will set up the roles of his players differently to pose different problems for different defenses.

@crusadertsar has a really good article about overloads, read it. Guardiola's Juego de posición is all about creating overloads, bypassing preassure through passing schemes and generating favourable 2 vs 1s and 1 vs 1s.
