Newly-appointed Australia coach\u00a0Bert van Marwijk has given some hints of adopting Pep Guardiola’s tactics at Manchester City for The Socceroos at 2018 World Cup.<\/p>\n
Using the example of Manchester City, van Marwijk said he would set up a \u201cmodern\u201d style into the Australia\u00a0squad.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m a coach that likes to have the ball and likes to play combination football. Then you have influence on the game,” the Dutch tactician said in the Thursday press conference, as quoted on the Caltex Socceroos site<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cBut in modern football, you also have to have influence on the game when you don\u2019t have the ball. That\u2019s very important. In modern football, it\u2019s only about transition.<\/p>\n \u201cFor example, Manchester City may be the best team in the world this moment. Every game they always have the most ball possession, but they score most of their goals in transition. That\u2019s very interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n Van Marwijk takes over the Socceroos\u2019 hot seat<\/a> following Ange Postecoglou\u2019s resignation in December.
