If Guardiola can stick passionately with his philosophy in the World's Elite Competitions then "its a tournament" or "it's a competitive fixture" should never leave the mouth of a youth football coach.
Believe in what you do, or do something else!
Just listened to Pep defending his philosophy - passionately - basically playing the right way is more important to him, and me, than worrying about the decisions that sometimes win and lose games. I’m so glad he’s #ManCity manager

If your teams performance on the pitch is not a reflection of your coaching philosophy.... you either don’t have one or you don’t understand it yourself ... or worst of all you simply pay it lip service ... what you teach should be what you see

Because strikers are generally in situations where they are NUMERICALLY disadvantaged, (i.e. two centre backs against one striker) strikers need to be highly competent in creating POSITIONAL advantages.
Strikers do this with the timing of runs, exploiting blind sides and more.
PEP: @gabrieljesus33 is so important. Strikers need to score goals. The difference today was that he scored as he was in better positions. It’s so good for him and our team. His performance was so valuable. #MCIEVE

An ex-college pitcher coached a team for 12-year olds. He got tired of parents yelling at the kids for making outs, he made the dads take BP against him. He embarrassed them. “Now you know how hard this game is!” he said to the dads. “So stop yelling at the kids!” #bestofalltim
