The German is the "black cat" ; who wins the clash Guardiola-Klopp tomorrow
The poor performance of "citizens" during Christmas allowed Liverpool to distance seven points ahead of the standings before the direct confrontation. The possible win of "Reds" at "Etihad" would leave England in power in the face of a tough battle to protect the tire's crown.
Jurgen Klopp is a coach who has been able to constantly win against Pep Guardiola in the head-to-head battles between the two.
Here, below, I'm looking at two coaches before the big game.
Game style: Guardiola's multi-pass game (tiki-taka) has been a distinct sign of his team, like Barcelona, Bayern Munich and now Manchester City.
Guardiola likes his team to move quickly to the field, dominate the possession of the ball and be reluctant to go ahead.
Without the ball, he expects his team to use as much energy to crush opponents in order to win it again.
Klopp applies a number of principles. Germany has been one of the few coaches that has repeatedly challenged Guardiola's teams.
Current situation: Manchester City's twitter could determine the destination of the Premier League trophy in May. Three defeats in four games, including home defeat at Crystal Palace, we saw Manchester City open the arm from the head of the standings, being seven points behind the Reds.
By the way, Jurgen Klopp's enthusiast has continued full swing and inspiration. They remain unbeaten after 20 matches in the Premier League and come after a radiant 5-1 win against Arsenal. Much encouraging figures before traveling to "Etihad".
Past clashes: Klopp has won more than half of the direct confrontations with Guardiola over the years; 8 out of 15 games.
No other coach, who has had Guardiola as an adversary, can not claim to have won a quarter of the matches against the Catalans.
The style of Klopp, similar to that of Guardiola, clearly makes the German favorite in the straightforward. It's enough to remember the confrontations in the Champions League last season, when Liverpool twice won the "citizens". It was the quarterfinals round.
Manchester City had a golden chance to win the first Premier League match between the two teams this season at Anfield, but Riyad Mahrez scored the penalty and the game ended with no goals.
Trophies: Guardiola won the Premier League title last season, with a score record. With Barcelona he has enjoyed every possible trophy, including two Champions League. In Germany, with Bayern Munich, he missed only the Champions League.
Jurgen Klopp's "Palmaresi" has two Bundesliga titles with Borussia Dortmund. Last season was the finalist of the Champions League, where he was beaten by Real Madrid. So, in this regard, the Germans can not be compared to Guardiola for the moment, but with his Liverpool in pole position in the Premier League, with seven points more than "citizens", he has an excellent opportunity to tritiated.
