Spurs and City - What's the Difference?
Pep Guardiola's side play at a slow tempo. They're not playing the passes early enough to fire Bernardo Silva into where he would want to go. It is interesting to work out whether it is determined by the manager that's what they're doing or because players are doing it in a certain way. The whole thing about the way that Pep Guardiola plays football is how can I get as many players into dangerous positions without compromising on the defensive aspect of that. If you start spamming the ball into the box to someone like Erling Hall and you're, yes, generating more chances to score but you're also generating more chances for the opposition to get the ball and counter on you.
