This week UEFA held its Elite Club Coaches’ Forum, a summit that reunited the likes of Pep Guardiola, Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsène Wenger and many others to talk about football and education.
Diario Sport (original here) reported that eulogising Barça was a hot topic among the international coaches gathered in Nyon . In fact, Porto coach, Vitor Pereira, said that “it’s incredible how Barça can transform ideas and tactics of coaches, even the most experienced ones. Their football inspires people, is fun to watch and, at the same time, it is quite risky“. He added, ”Barça is a role model, at least from a theorical point of view, but you need several conditions: work, time and quality players. I wish the rest of teams also embraced a more fun and risky way of playing football.”

Unai Emery, Valencia’s coach, said that “Barça is making history“. He mentioned that Pep’s work is very important both in Spain and internationally, as “Barça is achieving a level that will be rememberd for a long time and will be difficult to surpass“.
Ralf Rangnich, Schalke 04 coach, also agreed that “Barça is the best team in the world and has been for the last two or three years”. Rangnich added, “Not only they’ve got Messi but they defend so well, which is a quality of theirs that is not recognised so often. There (in defense) is where Barça makes the difference.”
In another article, El Mundo Deportivo (the original can be read here) quotes Arsenal coach Arsène Wenger, who said that the secret of Barça’s success is “in ther philosophy. All their players and their coach share the same way of playing football, and they are good enough to play like their coach wants them to play. That’s why copying Barça is pointless“.
Barça game was analysed by the best European coaches, all of whom showed their honest appreciation for coach Pep Guardiola’s work.
