Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City Versus a Low Block
The following is an analysis of Pep Guardiola's Manchester City playing against a low block. Two players are kept high and wide on either flank of the setup. It is important to create time and space on the ball for these players, or to use these players to disrupt opposition shape and to penetrate within half spaces, spaces beyond or between lines. It is extremely difficult for opposition teams to track runners or intercept balls into feet when City commits six players high in this setup.

High and wide either side.
Runs to fill half spaces.
Dropping to receive between lines.
Runs beyond to stretch play.
Very difficult to stop that!pic.twitter.com/FR48tAaECm
