FOOTBALL AFTER PEP. THE EVILUTION OF THE GAME SINCE THE ARRIVAL OF GUARDIOLA ON THE BENCH

The pages of this book propose a journey between the Guardiola proper noun and the Guardiola adjective. Between a Guardiola in capital letters and a Guardioliano in lower case. Between what belongs only to the coach and his work in Barcelona, Munich and Manchester, and that part of his football that already belongs to others. Pursuing the influence and importance of the coach in redefining the limits and meanings of certain aspects of the game and the nature of those who play it. Guardiola as a driver of change. A journey across the bridge between football before the coach from Santpedor and football after Pep. How much of Guardiola is there in football beyond Pep?
