Pep

I'm experimenting with a some basic motion techniques. This one pays homage to the greatest football manager of our generation 'Pep Guardiola.'

Pep revolutionised the way football was played and created one of the the greatest teams to have ever played the game (Barcelona 2008-2012). Pep found a different way of winning (the first version of this being the style 'tiki-taka').

Following an era where the moment of transition between defence and attack had been pinpointed as the single most decisive action in a match, allowing pragmatic, counter-attacking football to prosper, Guardiola showed that there was another way.

He took more value from defeats than victories as defeats would reveal defects in his product (the team). Every defeat would lead to an incremental improvement thus producing the closest version of perfect football we have seen in the history of the game. 👨‍🦲⚡🇪🇸
