The current Barcelona manager believes that the conquering of crowns in Pep’s reign is un-repeatable, even though his side has made the best ever start to a season.
Tito Vilanova has played down his achievement of leading the Catalans to the best ever start to a La Liga campaign, as his Barcelona side beat Athletic Bilbao 5-1 last night.
Barcelona have bagged up a record breaking 40 points from 14 La Liga games heading into the season, and have just dropped 2 points of the available 42; losing those two points in a 2-2 draw against current Spanish champions, Real Madrid.
"I'm very happy to be able to secure this record, but even more so by the performance of the players, how they played the game," said Vilanova.
Vilanova stepped up to the Barcelona manager post after Pep Guardiola resigned at the end of last season, who amassed 14 titles in his 4-year time of coaching at the Nou Camp.
However, the current http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 manager believes that it is too soon to compare his reign to his predecessor’s.
“Those four years are unrepeatable in everything that was done, the titles that were won, and the evolution of the system of play.”
Barcelona capped off an emphatic 5-1 victory over a struggling Bilbao side last night as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gerard-c14664 Pique also stamped their names on to the score sheet to round off a superb and dominant Barcelona
performance.
"We did not recover the ball well enough, and were not able to build attacks quickly without losing possession," he said. "But the big difference was that our attacks never thrived, and every time we lost the ball it led to a Barcelona attack."
Athletic coach, Bielsa, accepted that his side was 2nd best in the encounter and did not do well to recover the ball from the Catalans. He also admitted that every time his side lost possession, Barcelona masterfully created an attack from it.
Barcelona have now opened up a 6-point lead over their nearest rivals, Atletico Madrid, as the Rojiblancos failed to get anything out of the Madrid derby.
