The rest of the article is a great read: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43486412However, Cruyff is by no means the only influence. Another is Argentine Marcelo Bielsa, the man known affectionately as 'El Loco' - the madman.
The former Chile and Argentina boss - most recently the head coach of Lille at club level - is a man of huge influence but relatively few trophies.
"It is important for me to say this about Marcelo because it doesn't matter how many titles he had in his career," Guardiola has said.
"We are judged by that - how much success we have, how many titles we have won. But his titles are much less important than how he has influenced football and his football players. That is why, for me, he is the best coach in the world."
Bielsa told Guardiola during an 11-hour chat at the Argentine's villa that football is all about an idea, fighting for it, improving players, and never losing the passion.

Re: How Guardiola is revolutionizing English football
While players like Pogba, Martial, Alexis, Mata are getting worse under Mourinho
This is what ESPN researched about players under Guardiola
It was Raheem Sterling's 22nd goal of the season. He had doubled his previous best tally
But he has company. Around an hour earlier, Ilkay Gundogan converted a penalty. His sixth goal of the season was a new personal best. Another German, Leroy Sane, had already rattled the post. His total stayed at 13, still a career high. Injury deprived Sergio Aguero of the chance to participate; otherwise he may have closed in on his biggest haul of 33 which, nevertheless, came under Guardiola's management.
It is part of a trend that dates back a decade. Players become more prolific under Guardiola; not all, obviously, but sizeable numbers, many of whom score far more than before. Thomas Muller, Mario Mandzukic and Arjen Robben -- with 32, 26 and 21, respectively -- had their finest scoring season in his Bayern Munich teams. So, at Barcelona, did Andres Iniesta (nine), Bojan Krkic (12), Xavi (14), Pedro (23) and Lionel Messi (a ludicrous 73).
The Argentinian is the great outlier. Yet it is notable both that, pre-Guardiola, his highest total was 17 and that he improved year on year under a mentor: 38 in his first year, followed by 47, 53 and then 73. But in a way Xavi is as indicative, a distributor becoming a scorer for Guardiola. The playmaker never got more than seven goals in a season for Barcelona under any other manager. Like Sterling, he doubled that for Guardiola.

So he has a chance to break three of Chelsea's/Mourinho's records in just 2 games!
Most goals scored, most points and most wins in a single EPL season.

Buhari, whose two terms thankfully ground to a constitutional halt in May. (One thing both democracies have going for them is that their leaders, however bad, have only two terms to swing the wrecking ball.) Under Buhari, growth per head also plunged to 0. An economic agenda drawn from the dusty pages of a 1970s protectionist handbook failed to do the trick. Despite Buhari’s promise to tame terrorism and criminality, violence flourished. Despite his reputation for probity, corruption swirled. FT

Re: How Guardiola is revolutionizing English football
Hate him all you want but Guardiola is a brilliant manager. Yes, he has inherited great teams but he gets his teams to play with flair that his predecessors and successors have not been able to achieve. So far he has one major blip on his resume and that is failing to win the CL with Bayern. He had no excuses there. Despite City's dominance in the EPL this season, the absence of a CL title makes this year somewhat of a mixed success for Guardiola and the club but he will have a few more opportunities to redeem himself. I do think he will take City to the CL final because they have one of the most skilled 4-5 squads in the world, enormous resources, and the main European competitors are likely to experience lulls in the near future (e.g., Bayern, Real, and Barca). Lets be clear though: his success at City largely depends on him winning at least one CL title as their manager.
