“Guardiola has created a different philosophy for Barcelona. I think the Cruyff era laid the foundation for the width they used in their game, and using the full size of the pitch. If you look at their midfield players over the last 20 years, they have all been small. What has changed is the pressing and the areas in which they press the ball. That is what Guardiola has brought to the team.”
