Farke called Pep the greatest inspiration of modern football
Leeds head coach Daniel Farke shared warm thoughts about Pep Guardiola ahead of the match against Manchester City. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
On February 28, as part of the 28th round of the English Premier League, Leeds will host City at their home ground. On the eve of this match, Farke shared his reflections on Pep Guardiola's influence on modern football.
The official website of City also confirmed that this game is scheduled to take place at Elland Road stadium. Daniel Farke highly praised Guardiola as a coach who renews and develops football.
He recalled Pep’s use of the "false nine" tactic. At a time when this approach was not widespread in the football world, Guardiola successfully applied it in his teams.
Additionally, Farke mentioned Guardiola’s innovative ideas such as directing full-backs centrally and frequently rotating the squad. Pep introduced these approaches at a time when many coaches had not yet fully adopted them.
Farke also emphasized the distinctive qualities of Guardiola compared to other coaches: the Spanish master coach constantly improves his style and strives to find new directions. While everyone tries to imitate his approach, Guardiola moves forward with new ideas.
For this reason, Farke evaluated him as one of the most influential coaches in the history of modern football. Indeed, Guardiola is known as a coach who has fundamentally changed football tactics in recent years.
His solutions like the "false nine" and full-backs moving centrally have started to be adopted by many teams. Farke did not just highlight these points but called Guardiola a figure who has shown the way for generations of coaches in football history.
Now the main question is: how will Farke’s team Leeds perform on the field against Manchester City led by Guardiola? All attention is focused on the match on February 28.
