Elder goodjoe you just in your usual manner dancing around like an Ekpo masquerade. Few pages back you wanted Majtahida to answer your question but now you are avoiding this one, #hypocrisy

Amedino99:
what's the use of their tactical astuteness if they can't beat him?

TheGoodJoe:


Ancelotti is not a parked bus coach, so your analogy is flawed. Park bus is not style but an accept that you are going against a better opponent.

TheGoodJoe:


We beat Ancelotti last two seasons, knocked them out of the Champions League and beat them 4-0 in a game. So I wonder where you got can't beat him. Real Madrid won by penalties, that is not equivalent to beating.

Kog45:
Oya tell us with this stats how Real Madrid park the bus cuz a 5 times champion league coach lack tactics to beat special made Pep who spent billions for him to win champions league after 12 years since he left Barcelona….3 years in Bayern he failed and took him years to win it for man city but here you are talking about parking bus.

kennysville:
My advice to TheGoodJoe is to choose his arguments wisely. Being right and doing the right thing are 2 different things. When I read your arguments in here it kinda makes one want to question what happened to the original GoodJoe?

If I am to go by your line of arguments regarding parking of bus, I'd say same can be said of Man City that they always play tiki taka that's why they win most of their games. One could argue also that if they played park the bus system, they would also lose their games.... Gerrit bruh?

Having said that, I will agree with Kog45 that Carlo Ancelotti won because he had a better tactic. The reason a snake charmer can handle snakes is because they have anti venom. If not ... na die

TheGoodJoe:


You have known me for years. I am not one to tune to popularity terms. My point have never changed.

From Di Matteo, Mourinho, Rohr, Peseiro etc. When you are parking bus against a team, you do it most times because yiu feel they are better than you and that is your only option to HOPE to win.

My stand has not changed for years.

Park Bus can win games against better side but can not make you play better than a better side.

Ancelotti chose to park bus because he was up against a better side. Leave win or lose. The point he was up against a better side.

So talking against over information given to forwards as if it is bad is hypocritical when he parked bus against a better side that came from it.

Finito.

TheGoodJoe:


Also, I have never been a popular choice. It is just that a lot of times I am proven right. I have been attacked for believing Guardiola will succeed in the EPL. I have been attacked for saying Mikel was a high grade player. I have been attacked for saying Mourinho was sliding down the coaching ladder.

Just with time, I get proven right and people quietly note that I was right.

Napoleon55:

What is the ultimate purpose of this game?

For me is to win championships or tournaments like WC,CL,EURO,AFCON etc. as many as u can.
And to achieve any of these,u need to win games, and to win games,u need a strategy or tactics that works for u.
What makes your strategy superior is the results.

Ancelotti has achieved his ultimate goal.
All other things like who played better does not matter when the ultimate purpose have been achieved.

TheGoodJoe:


I did not argue with that notion in any way in my post. I said Ancelotti parked bus to win a game against a better side. Ancelotti is talking about coaching and I said he is not in the position to criticize the modern coaches when he decided to park bus to win against it.

The point is simple. It is not about win or lose. It is about coaching a team to be better. If he chose to park bus against a modern system, it means the coaching system was superior to what he offered.

Finito.

Kog45:
Pls tell us what is modern system in today’s football? So football is not about winning or losing but coaching a team better….Ancelotti that won La liga and champions league is not coaching Real Madrid better or what are you talking about

TheGoodJoe:


My point is very simple. When Ancelotti chose to park bus against the system, he accepted the superiority of the modern game. So it is hypocritical to condemn it after accepting its superiority.

The point is simple.

It is not Ancelotti is a park bus coach.

It is not that Ancelotti has not won trophies.

It is not Ancelotti is not a sound tactical coach.

It is about Ancelotti accepting how superior the system is and deciding to park bus against it. Then trying to criticize it is hypocritical.

Hanibal:


I still struggle to understand your logic really....

You're an expert at Taekwondo, I'm an expert at wrestling.... We got pitched against each other, I won using my style, you lost using your style.

Then you start complaining that I should have fought you using Taekwondo if I was really sure of myself

Make it make sense please.... If your style is that good, you should be able to beat me regardless of the style I adopt na

If the system was superior to his, why didn't it prevail against his?

mostob:
And how does parking the bus made your team superior? I mean logically, whichever team that wins a match is the superior team.

So I ask, how does the fact that a team parked the bus made them inferior? Back it up with valid facts please.

mostob:
Brilliant question!!! I can bet he won't answer. He will try to dribble as usual

TheGoodJoe:


I have seen Super teams get beaten by very weak teams. So this point is flawed.

TheGoodJoe:


The point is not Tiki Taka being the best but Ancelotti criticizing modern approach but parking bus against it. Parking bus means accepting their superiority.

TheGoodJoe:


I have answered. Better is subjective to views. The question is also devoid of the point. The point is accepting a system is superior by parking bus against it and trying to downplay it.

TheGoodJoe:

Amedino99:
Is there any update about Nacho's new club? Ever since he was released there have been little to no reports on his movement so far.

Odunayaw:


You admit Ancelotti is a tactical coach & not a park
the bus coach and the man is saying "the way I play o I don't stifle creativity in my team".

How does that have anything to do with the other system being tactically superior?

It is just your compulsive argument syndrome worrying you.

A coach with the most UCL trophy! Wetin you know sef wey make you arrogant like this

zicky:
Oga Ancelotti real Madrid has beaten Guardiola Bayern 4-0 also, also beaten Guardiola man city 3-1 so leave that talk of we beat them last season.
