The Spanish midfielder recently spoke about the difference between Josep Guardiola and Tito Vilanova and believes that the new coach is doing a good http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 to keep the team going.
Last season Barcelona did not only loose the UEFA Champions League and the Spanish La Liga; in fact, they also lost the best coach in their history, Josep Guardiola.
The Catalan boss helped Barcelona reach dizzying heights and only within his first year in charge of the club, Guardiola was able to achieve six trophies.
A sextuple is something which no other team has managed to achieve throughout the history of the game and it was Josep Guardiola who helped La Blaugrana achieve it in his very first year in charge of the club.
Right after Josep Guardiola left, the club’s management decided to make Tito Vilanova in charge of the club.
Vilanova is the man who was the assistant coach while Josep Guardiola was the manager.
Therefore, Vilanova has similar techniques as compared to Josep Guardiola and both the managers can be easily compared in terms of philosophy.
Therefore, while speaking about the comparison between these two outstanding managers, Xavi Hernandez stated that there is not a lot of difference between Tito Vilanova and Josep Guardiola.
However, he did state that spending four years with Josep Guardiola, while working under Vilanova, things have slightly changed.
The Spanish midfielder stated:
“Yes, he has his style, but having been there for the four years previous with Pep, he has changed little. He has clear ideas, he knows how we play, his workouts are similar too.”
“He is a person with great personality, who has fixed ideas and is clear and lets us go out there.”
“He is not trying to change the philosophy of play that has led us to achieve the goals of the past, he is a highly-trained technician who knows this house and very much knows football.”
Tito Vilanova has so far been really good for La Blaugrana.
Even though http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 lost their chance to win the Supercopa de Espana against Real Madrid, they are still at the top of the Spanish La Liga, with six wins out of the six games which they have played.
