In the fútbol world Pep Guardiola is considered as the coach who comes up with the best ideas for his teams to play an aesthetically quality attacking game with great results.


However, having studied his training methods both at Barcelona and Bayern Munich, I am convinced the structured approach his technical staff uses to implement his ideas doesn’t really reflect his genius.


In my opinion Tactical Periodization is the appropriate methodology to implement Pep’s ideas which is my intention to demonstrate throughout this book. As you may recall the principles of Tactical Periodization were detailed in my previous book ('Tactical Periodization: A Practical Application for the Game Model of the FC Bayern Munich of Jupp Heynckes (2011-2013)') which are needed to understand the advance training thoughts herein discussed.
