Is Jurgen Klopp really better than Manchester City super coach Pep Guardiola?


Jurgen Klopp metallic style of playing football have finally gotten the approval its craves from the world governing body -FIFA. 

 The German tactician used that Gegen pressing/long balls to win Liverpool their sixth Champions League along with the UEFA Super Cup against Chelsea. 

 And in the Premier League, Liverpool have lost just twice in 52 premier league matches and are still unbeaten at home since 2017. Added to that Liverpool this season are the only team in Europe's top five division to win 6 of their opening six matches in a row. 

 No doubt Klopp is a fantastic manager but beating Pep Guardiola to the FIFA World Best Coach feels strange and questionable.

Why? Guardiola is the first and only manager to win the Premier League title with 100 points and 98 points respectively. Don't forget, Liverpool haven't won the league title in 30 years and have failed three consecutive times under Jurgen Klopp. Guardiola meanwhile has wrapped up the league title twice in a row. 

 Last season, Guardiola made history by becoming the first and only manager to win the domestic treble. A feat not even the great Sir Alex Ferguson could achieve in his 26 years of management. 

 Guardiola won it all in his 3rd season in charge of Manchester City and he did it in style. 

 Pep was able to win the Community Shield, the Caraboa Cup, the FA Cup and the Premier League last season and yet lost the FIFA World Best Coach to Jurgen Klopp who won only the Champions League trophy. 

 How is winning four trophies better than one, only FIFA can explain? 

 Jurgen Klopp might have won the Champions League which remains Europe's biggest trophy but it doesn't feel right, Pep Guardiola frankly deserve to win it not Klopp.

Liverpool 2-1 Crystal: Firmino is no average striker and 5 things we learnt

Another game, another victory, Liverpool have finally discovered how to grind out results even when playing way below average.  Palace were good to watch, they stopped Liverpool's swashbuckling football in the first 15 minutes of play and put them to the sword by scoring the first goal only for VAR {Video Assistant Referee} to choke it off.  The first half might have ended in stalemate but the second half saw Liverpool take the initiative through Sadio Mane whose snap shot evaded everyone and found the back of the net.  Wilfred Zaha did restore parity to keep Palace fans believing but in the dying minute, Firmino scored the winning goal to put Liverpool 2-1 up and eight points clear of Leicester City.  Here are the five things we learnt:  1. Van DIjk is a monster, he is a world class defender-  Where will Liverpool be without Van Dijk? Porbably in 7th place or most likely 10th. He won every aerial ball, tussled with Jordan Ayew and came out on ...

The Reds are unstoppable and 5 things we learnt in Liverpool's 2-0 win over Chelsea

Consistency, defensive solidity, rhythm, intensity and loads of goals pretty much sums of Liverpool at moment.  The Reds defeated Chelsea 2-0 at Stamford Bridge thanks to a sensational free-kick from Alexander Arnold before a brilliant header from Firmino. Chelsea did pull back a goal through N'Golo Kante before they're inability to finish off chances might Liverpool where going ot make it 15 consecutive wins in a spin and their 7 away victory in the Premier League. Here are the five things we learned: 1. Liverpool can't keep clean sheets- Liverpool's 3-0 win over Burnley is the only clean sheet they've managed to keep all season which frankly needs to improve. Jurgen Klopp might now care at the moment but he knows if he is to win the Champions League he has to keep clean sheets at home and score away 2. Chelsea must ditch zonal marking and focus on man to man marking- The ease in which Roberto Firmino scored Liverpool's first goal of the night ...

Why Barcelona players were all ready to 'reduce their salaries' just to bring Neymar back

Gerard Pique's revelation that Barcelona player were ready to reduce their salary just to get Neymar back was shocking but yet, understandable.  In the past two season, Barcelona have been bruised, battered  and humiliated in the Champions League by AS Roma and Liverpool. The latter 'Liverpool' really crushed them, evident from the video footage of the players mourning and sulking in the dressing room.  The old guards Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquet and Gerard Pique knew at that moment they needed Neymar back.. They needed the man who massively helped in winning them they're fourth Champions trophy back in 2015.  If Neymar had played against AS Roma and Liverpool in the second leg of the Champions League semi final, Barcelona would've faced Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur in the final and won it.  Messi would've had 6 Champions League and not four.. Neymar is a world class player, a game changer and returning to Camp Nou will instantly make Barcelona favour...

Manchester United 1- 1 Liverpool: Marcus Rashford is a beast and 5 things we learnt

For a while it felt like Manchester United were superior to Liverpool as their moved the ball much quicker, created good chances and opened the scoring through a magnificent ball to Marcus Rashford.  Rashford for one was just unstoppable, his energy, swagger and relentless running scared the death out of Liverpool's defense including Van Dijk who struggled all game to contain him.  He did score the goal that would've been the match winner but one area of judge from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer changed everything.  Taking off Rashford allowed Liverpool's defense to push forward and pile pressure on United's brittle back line.. It allowed Andrew Robertson cross a delicious ball into the 12-yard box which evaded everyone except Adam Lallana who needed just a tap in to score and restore parity.  Although, Liverpool did have the lion share of possession but without their star man, Mohamed Salah to stretch United defense, they really struggled to create chances....

Redknapp: Pep Guardiola is not 'playing mind games, he is afraid of SADIO MANE'

Former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp has bruised aside the assertion that Pep Guardiola was playing mind games or attempting to have dig at Sadio Mane.  Guardiola is afraid of Sadio Mane knowing he is Liverpool's most dangerous player. The Senegalese international is the star man at Anfield, he has scored 10 goals with 6 assists in just 15 games this season..  He has contributed to 7 wins this season by either scoring the winning goal or having a hand in scoring the winner. Redknapp feels Pep Guardiola is very worried about Mane and the danger he will pose when City visit Anfield in the weekend.  "Hearing Pep Guardiola mention Sadio Mane and diving was surprising", Redknapp told Daily Mail. "It is unusual to hear a manager say that about a rival player, but i don't think it was Guardiola trying to wind up Mane ahead of this Sunday's showdown at Anfield. It wasn't an attempt at mind games, or a deliberate dig. I believe Guardiola genuinely f...

Man United legend Paul Scholes explains why Pep Guardiola is better than Jurgen Klopp

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes feels Pep Guardiola has done more than enough to be rated ahead of Jurgen Klopp as the best manager in the world.  Jurgen Klopp is the first manager to win the Premier League with 100 points and retain it with 98 points. He also the first manager to win 18 consecutive games in a single season.  Added to that, Guardiola is the first and only manager in Premier League history to win the domestic treble with Manchester City.  Scholes feels this achievement outweighs Jurgen Klopp's sole Champions League win with Liverpool.  "I'd still say Pep Guardiola. I know Liverpool are eight points clear and they won the Champions League last year, but they've not won the league yet", Scholes told 5 Live Sport.  "Jurgen Klopp's a great manager, and the football they're playing and the style of play is magnificent, but i'd still go for Guardiola after what he's done. I'd have Guardiola as number one and Jurgen...

Can Sergio Aguero finally score at Anfield? Van Dijk reacts

Sergio Aguero might be Manchester City's all time record goalscorer and the Premier League best striker but, the diminutive Argentina has a record he is yet to break.  Aguero has never scored at Anfield and against a Liverpool team gunning down the Premier League title, if he fails to score or lead City to a victory, the Premier League title will certainly head to Anfield.  Leicester City and Chelsea might be huffing and puffing at the moment but against Liverpool, they're no match in the long run.   Liverpool's Van Dijk was asked if Aguero can break his deadlock at Anfield and he had this to say:  "I think Aguero is one of the best strikes in the league", Van Dijk told reports.  "And he's been doing it for many years. It's a tough challenge and we will all have to be at our best to keep him quiet.  "He won't be worrying about not scoring at Anfield. He has enough experience not to think about those statistics".  Asked if ...

Did Alexander Arnold commit two penalties against Manchester City?

Liverpool might have beaten Manchester City 3-1 at Anfield but they were controversial moments that shocked the world of football including Pep Guardiola.  The Spanish tactician was visibly seen screaming his lungs out to the fourth official Mike Dean, alerting him that Trent Alexander Arnold has just committed not just once but two penalties.. Arnold first handled the ball in the build to Liverpool's first goal and later, repeated the same theatrics as City were desperately looking for a second goal to pin back Liverpool.  Guardiola has never been furious like this before and if not for his years experience he would've said something about Micheal Oliver, Trent Alexander Arnold, the VAR and even Anfield crowd that kept cheering despite seeing the fouls.  The game is over and the score line can't be revised so the question remains, did Arnold real commit a penalty against Manchester City?
