De Zerbi

 

WHAT HAPPENED?

The Seagulls
were able to hold off a marauding City to a 1-1 draw at the Amex Stadium in the
previous Premier League encounter, courtesy of De Zerbi’s ingenious footballing
brain. According to The Telegraph, Guardiola was so impressed with his tactics
in the match that he went on to say that the Italian should be “the next
Man City manager”.

 

THE BIGGER PICTURE:

The two-time
treble-winning coach is a huge admirer of Brighton’s style of play, especially
the way they build from the back. De Zerbi’s nuanced use of the “free
man” which allows his players to get more time on the ball before
splitting apart their opponents is also something that is lauded by Guardiola.
In fact, the Spanish manager has no qualms in accepting that he tries to learn
from De Zerbi’s methods.

WHAT NEXT?

 Guardiola’s current contract with City runs
until the end of next season. However, if the 52-year-old does not sign an
extension at Etihad then it remains to be seen if De Zerbi will take over the
mantle, provided he is not signed by another European giant with his stock
rising with each passing season.

 

However, in
the short term, two of the greatest footballing minds will look to get the
better of each other when City welcomes Brighton on Saturday.
