One key reason that Pep Guadiola will be in PL folklore is his amazing tactics that have revolutionised the way that football is played today and in all levels from Premier League to Under 14. His most famous playing style was inverted fullbacks, this meant that when attacking and going forward, his wide defenders would drop into midfield to overload the centre of the pitch and give extra passing routes in the midfield. Also, it helped prevent counter attacks when the ball is lost. He also re-engineered the classic false nine shape and made his centre forward drop way deeper into midfield and avoids the penalty area entirely. This invites the opposition defense to push up. This results in the creative, pacey wingers to bomb forward in lots of space to cut in and shoot or cut it back for people in the penalty area. In a constant quest on having transitional control, he ordered one of his centre backs to join the defence midfielder nd the wide players to drop in. This was incredibly useful as is made a 4 man box midfield and it allowed Guadiola's teams to smother and suffocate their opponents moves forward.
