The two coaches have their own merits, and which is higher or lower is also a matter of opinion. But at least klopp should conquer all Premier League fans and critics! The main differences between the two are as follows:
1. Team involvement. Guardiola needs a lot of capital investment as a guarantee, and klopp is a typical example of doing great things with small money! Guardiola, Zhilinski, Ibrahimovic, Villa and Alves of Barcelona were all bought at sky-high prices at that time. Only during the Bayern period did they spend less, because Bayern had dwarfed other mountains. In the Bundesliga! Almost all of klopp's money was earned after he sold Coutinho, and the net expenditure of the team was not high!
2. Requirements for players. Guardiola's favorite players are all technical and require the goalkeeper to have a good passing level. In contrast, in klopp, the requirements for players are more "strict"! The first is physical fitness, will quality and recognition of the club value, and then the technical and tactical level! Even if the technical and tactical level is almost the same, he can accept it as long as his physical fitness and willpower are good! The most typical example, Red Army captain Henderson, I think it is impossible to have a place in Guardiola's system! The result of this style is that Guardiola's team is gorgeous, but it lacks blood! As for klopp's team, its technical and tactical level is not as good as Guardiola's, but its cohesion and fighting capacity are very strong, and it may break out at any time!
3. Contribution to the club. When klopp took over Liverpool, Liverpool had fallen to the middle of the Premier League, just like Arsenal today! He built the team step by step and won an important championship in the fourth year-the Champions League! During this period, he completely integrated himself into Liverpool, making people feel that Liverpool is klopp and klopp is Liverpool! As for Guardiola, as a neutral fan, Guardiola and Manchester City have not yet reached a high degree of integration between klopp and Liverpool! Manchester City invited him to the Champions League and gave him unreserved support, but the result was not satisfactory! I think it is accidental to win the Champions League, but as a giant team, the semi-finals should be one of the criteria to measure it. At the peak, Barcelona, Milan and Real Madrid can enter the semi-finals for five or six consecutive years! Obviously, Guardiola's performance is unqualified! Even if Manchester City didn't win the Champions League for five years, and broke into the semi-finals four or three times in five years, his achievements would be considered a success!
In terms of tactical creativity, klopp can't catch up with Guardiola. The Tikitaka tactical style created by Guardiola in Barcelona Dream III is a revolutionary pioneering work that can be compared with the three major tactical revolutions in the world. If I guess correctly, Guardiola's historical position will be greatly improved after retiring in the future, which is the same level as michels and Sacchi, that is, the level of historical masters, which is definitely not comparable to that of klopp. I personally think that klopp is a little better than Guardiola if we simply discuss lineup building and on-the-spot command ability. This is the comparison after I came to the Premier League from klopp and Guardiola. After klopp came to Liverpool, he completely changed his personnel and lineup, and re-established a new team. Almost all the players were successfully introduced, and almost no players were mistaken, and the lineup of players was improved. Everyone turned stones into gold. Relatively speaking, Guardiola spent so much money to introduce players, almost half of them failed, and the lineup improvement was not as obvious as Liverpool. Guardiola's tactical theory itself has congenital defects, that is, his body, speed and strength are insufficient, and black and hard teams frequently collapse. This structural defect is difficult for Guardiola to overcome and will always accompany him.
Very high.
