... in my view, is undoubtedly the best coach I've seen in football. The first managerial genius. So imaginative it is scary.
The one flaw he seemed to have has disappeared. Two banks of four (or five) no longer provides protection. He's figured how to rip that defence to shreds. He entices the opposition forwards, rakes diagonals back and forth, sets his team up in configurations I've never seen, attacks any turnover, so that the opponent has no way to settle into an orderly defence. Amazing, crazy, pinball football.
Who can beat Manchester City in England? Maybe no one, unless they lose concentration. They make my Arsenal team look plodding, by comparison. Sad. But what a joy they are to watch.
