Rio Ferdinand has hailed Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, as a genius who has changed the way we see football.
Since arriving at City, Guardiola has won two Premier Leagues, an FA Cup and two EFL Cups.
However, Ferdinand is way more impressed by his tactics than his trophies.
“He’s got that competitive edge, he’s a genius sitting there,” Ferdinand told BT Sport.
“He’s an innovator, he’s changed the way we see football, you talk about goalkeepers coming in and being part of the team, not being detached and just being a goal keeper and being part of the back four. That’s down to him.
“Full-backs playing inside the field now more than ever, it’s crazy some of the stuff he does. Sometimes you think, is it boredom? Was he just bored of winning the way he was before?”
