Pep Guardiola recently engaged with a journalist’s question about Manchester City’s evolving tactics, particularly their use of narrow and fluid attackers, contrasting with their approach during the 2017-18 season. Guardiola’s strategy has adapted to counter increasingly physical defenses by emphasizing a more compact shape and minimizing risks associated with direct play. He drew parallels to his earlier work in 2006, illustrating how tactical execution remains crucial in overcoming low blocks. City’s recent performances reflect these principles, showcasing a fluid attacking system reminiscent of Spain’s tiki-taka style.
