Pep Guardiola is, but the best, one of the best trainers of the world. This goes to tastes. What is indisputable is that the Catalan is a born strategist. It is a man with resources that along his career has been able to plant to Messi of false forward, relocate to Joshua Kimmich in the centre of the field or reinvent to Raheem Sterling.

Waiting for the possible arrival of Messi, Pep has to be breaking the head for averiguar that way could take advantage of more to Messi in the eleven. The Manchester City is not any team, has a very wide staff of players of a lot of quality. These are some of the options of Guardiola.

Offensive midfielder

Perhaps the most viable option to take advantage of to Messi, in the Premier League and in concrete in the City, was this. Lto English is a more physical league that the Spaniard. In the position of extreme find players of a very distinct profile to the of Leo. Perhaps the extreme more resembled Messi of the Premier was Bernardo Silva, that would be his mate.

It seems that it would feel more comfortable in a position of mediocentro offensive, behind a double pivote. It could have the function that had Silva before leaving to the Real Sociedad. This system would involve to relocate to Of Bruyne to a less offensive position. It can seem an error, but beside Rodri could be a double pivote very solvent so much for the defence as for the attack.

Second stricker

Another option would be to situate it a bit more near of the goal, a pasito by behind his big fellow, the Kun Agüero. This option requires to play in a system that situate to two forwards. Leo took and Kun pushes. It does not sound at all badly, but there is one hits. Guardiola Is a romantic of the 4-3-3 and is very accustomed to play with an alone tip.

Right winger

Although, as we have commented, the extremes of the Premier League have other characteristics, keeps on being an option. The flea would put in diagonal to intermediate zones freeing the space of the lane for Walker, could work. In spite of this, the extremes are the better positions covers by the group citizen: Raheem Sterling, Riyad Maharez, Ferrán Torres, Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden.

False 9

The position that converted to Guardiola in the best trainer of the world and to Leo Messi in the best player of the history. It would be poetic, seven years afterwards, with Pep in the bench, see to Leo in this position. Even so, it is the less likely. Kun Agüero Has a lot of weight in the changing room and seat it would not be easy thing. Neither easy neither productive.
