As an aspiring coach and devoted student of the game, I always make time for Pep Guardiola’s pre-match and post-match talks.
What fascinates me most is his psychological and mental approach to management, his ability to shape mindsets beyond the tactical realm is simply extraordinary. You cannot question a man who has masterminded trebles, quadruples, and a four-peat of both the Carabao Cup and the Premier League.
A genius in every sense of the word.
Completely agree with Ed Cooley here
“I don't think our kids know how to fail today. They don't know how to struggle.
We, the parents, have bailed them out of everything.”

Extraordinary clip of Luis Enrique scolding Kylian Mbappe. A conversation which transcends football ⚽️🤝🏀

The #USWNT U-20s advanced to their World Cup semifinal after this v Germany:
61' GER 1-0 USA (PK)
90+2' GER 2-0 USA
90+8' GER 2-1 USA
90+9' GER 2-2 USA
Shootout: GER 1-3 USA
Epic game v Germany brings back memories of the 2012 U-20 WWC (last US title).
