Why would Pep Guardiola want to bring in assistants and coaches from Liverpool like Pep Lijnders and maybe even Kolo Toure to join his staff at Manchester City? Does this show he's worried about competition, or just looking for new ideas beyond his own club?

Okay, this is honestly kinda wild to me. Pep Guardiola is obviously a genius at Man City, so you’d think he’d just stick with what’s already working. But I get why he’d wanna add people like Pep Lijnders or Kolo Toure who were with Liverpool. I feel like he’s basically saying, "Hey, I’m not scared to mix things up and learn from my rivals." Some people might think it’s desperate or shows he’s worried about competition from Liverpool, but I actually think it’s just smart. The Premier League gets so competitive every year, so why not grab smart people who’ve seen what’s worked somewhere else?

I remember Klopp’s Liverpool teams always giving City a hard time, so having people on staff who know Liverpool’s best secrets could totally help Guardiola stay on top. Plus, it kinda shakes the football world because you’d never expect rivals to share staff like that, right? I just think it shows he’s not stuck in his ways. If something’s working, even if it’s at Liverpool, he’s not too proud to bring it in. It’s kinda cool and makes football way more interesting to watch next season.
