Franz Beckenbauer, the honorary president of Bayern Munich, has openly expressed his disagreement with Pep Guardiola’s playing philosophy, particularly emphasizing the emphasis on excessive passing reminiscent of FC Barcelona’s style.
Beckenbauer criticized the tendency to over-rely on passing, suggesting that there are situations where taking a shot from distance is more advantageous, especially when facing a tightly packed defense. He voiced his concerns about the potential consequences of excessive passing, indicating that it could lead to a less entertaining style of play.
Despite these criticisms, Bayern Munich, under Guardiola’s management, continues to dominate the Bundesliga and has also progressed to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
