#3 Guardiola style pressing

Playing under Guardiola can be frustrating sometimes because of the level of excellence he asks from his players. The manager buys a lot of players however, not everyone can adjust to his system and his high energy pressing style is not suited for everyone. In order to be in Guardiola’s team, you have to provide your one hundred percent all the time and keep pressing the opponents high up the pitch. This is something that was not a problem for the quality winger and he adapted to the Guardiola style of play quite well.

High pressing and winning the ball back high up on the pitch is something that he can provide. He can provide the intensity that City displays in every one of their games and it will be an important aspect that he can share with the rest of the team as well. His previous work with the Spanish manager will help him in his new journey at Barca as well since Xavi shares a similar philosophy and Torres can shed some more light into it.
