sry but no, while getting into that position, not even an amateur could possibly be so oblivious of his surroundings to not know there is no one near him at that point. unfortunately the camera doesn't show it but during his little sprint into position there is plenty of time to make sure of that.
don't get me wrong, communication is a very important part of the game but in this situation it's not his team mates' fault that vidal doesn't turn around.
that being said, an actual match is not a situation guardiola should do that constantly. this is clearly a training ground thing where he can yell in, stop the play and explain the situation and his philosophy - and if he does that, there is no need to do it on match day because his players will understand. "mistakes" will always happen, especially such small ones (no possession loss, not too much "harm" done) and the constant "input" from the sideline is more unsettling and thus detrimental for the players than helpful imo...
well, yeah i watched it again and you are right on the first point
i have seen it just once on my phone and leverkusen was at least trying to apply some pressure there (could have been in trouble theoretically)
second point nailed it and i dont know how closely you watch bayern, but he is jumping around there for the entire 90 minutes
one pass to the right, where he liked it on the left and there is some discusson going on there DURING THE GAME
even when nothing happens and lets not forget that its pep himself who lets our players make those passes 100 times each game to keep possession......
what a maniac ffs
