Lost Torrent, Pep lost & quot; right arm & quot;
Inventor of the "5 second rule"
Domenec Torrent was born in 1962, is a Spanish coach. He was born in Catalunya, played midfield for anonymous footballers in the 1980s. The coaching career of Torrent is not remarkable either. The biggest team he has led before 2018 is ... Girona, Catalunya's small club, last season ranked No. 10 La Liga.
But he is Pep Guardiola's right-hand man. From Barca B, Barca, Bayern Munich, to City, anywhere, Torrent is Pep's most important assistant. He and Pep won 24 titles throughout his career, until this season, Torrent could not be with Pep in City anymore, after receiving a lead in New York City (USA), and has signed a term contract 5 years.
The "5 second rule" is due to Torrent. If anyone has ever inquired about the tiqui-taca in Barcelona, the football is Pep, then know this principle. 5 seconds after the loss of the ball, the Pep players have to recover the ball. Principles of quantitative sounding seem simple, but the greatest is often simple. This rule is one of the most concise ways to play half the football idea that Pep has always cherished: Pressing. The other half, of course, passed the ball.
Torrent's invention deeply changed Pep's training. In the training sessions, Torrent and Pep "stuffed" a lot of players into a quarter of the field. This is divided into two teams, one trying to pass the ball cleanly, an effort to regain in a maximum of 5 seconds. If the team robs to exceed that time without recapturing the ball, then must resume the game to resume a new pressing, also with 5 seconds.
Very simple, but it is the inventor of the genius of Torrent. In the first season in the City, when the club received too many goals, Pep and Torrent discussed a lot. All because City players have not imbued the rule 5 seconds. "If you do not win back the ball for the first 5 seconds, then the player has to ... make a mistake," he recalls. "We had a lot of problems losing the ball, because the players reacted too slowly. In the second season, Man City learned how to move a lot. What to do when losing the ball? Retake for 5 seconds, immediately attack. We spent two months just to do this. "
People understand Pep the most
Closely attached to Pep Guardiola, Torrent is not only a partner, but also one of Pep's best friends. He understands Pep to his hair. They listen to jazz music while working in the office. They go out to eat together, watch football together, and the stories are still about football.
No fetish for Pep, but Torrent still calls his boss "genius". "There is something very special about him," he replied on the Telegraph. "Pep is always energetically improving not just the club, but itself. To me, Pep is a genius. Many people say that Pep is lucky to have good players. I agree. But many people came to the summit by working with him. Pep is the best I know. "
Torrent broke up with Pep Guardiola after 11 years with a lot of success
Torrent broke up with Pep Guardiola after 11 years with a lot of success
Only the new Torrent discovered two things about Pep that not all City City fans look out. First, Pep will stay in Manchester City for a long time. "Long live" here is not sticking more than 20 years with a club like Sir Alex Ferguson of rival United. "Maybe five or more years," Torrent said. "Man City will be the club where Pep has been working longest, having been in Barcelona for 4 years, Bayern for 3 years. He is very happy, working with great managers, and having a youthful, quality team. "
According to Torrent, this is the right time for Pep to turn Manchester City into a special team like Barcelona and Real Madrid 10 years ago. This is the second point he looked at: Pep not only helped City to win the Cup, he can also change the DNA of this club. Despite winning many titles since returning to foreign ownership for nearly 15 years, City have not been able to become an excellent club. From 2011/12, their best performance in the Champions League is in the semi-finals of the 2015/16 season. They had four stops in the first round, four stops in the group stages, and reached the quarterfinals last year.
Without Torrent, Pep would have to find another extension, to realize the goal of raising the City. If you do, it is a historic victory.
