Pep Guardiola is a positional genius
Nico O’Reilly is an academy kid who came up as a central midfielder/No.10 but this season Pep said nah and flipped him to left-back.
Now he is City’s first-choice LB and absolutely bossing it. 🔥
A 21-year-old homegrown star locking down that role.
O’Reilly’s not just “filling in” , he’s thriving.
Defending high lines, overlapping, cutting inside, delivering crosses and chipping in with goals + assists.
That’s the Pep effect.
Michael Carrick is pulling a similar masterstroke with Patrick Dorgu.
Dorgu arrived as a left wing-back/full-back, looked solid but nothing special under the previous system.
Carrick moved him further forward to left winger in his system and he’s been UNREAL. Goals, work-rate, threat you name it.
Gary Neville even said it on Sky: “Dorgu looked average as a wing-back, but as a winger he’s a completely different player.”
Athleticism + end product, a nightmare for full-backs.
Carrick saw the potential and unlocked it. Just like Pep did with O’Reilly.
Football’s not just about signing superstars, it’s about coaches who see what others don’t.
