Pep genuinely wasn’t normal.

[Rincol @RincolFi]

I keep thinking about Pep Guardiola’s famous rant at Nathan Redmond in 2017.

At the time, it looked almost bizarre. Why was Pep screaming at an opposition player after winning a game?

Years later, it makes much more sense. Guardiola isn't simply obsessed with winning. He is simply obsessed with excellence.

He wants the best from his players, his opponents, himself and everybody.

That same man who was screaming at Redmond because he wanted him to attack is the man now revealing how deeply he carries football, how defeats torture him, how much he questions himself and how his personal life has even collided with his work.

This the most fascinating thing about Pep. For him, football isn't just 90 minutes. It is just a way of life.

Perhaps, that is why he can demand so much from Haaland, confront Walker, tear himself apart over team selections and even get frustrated when an opponent isn't giving him everything.

He doesn't just want to beat you, but wants you to be better. That is Guardiola's beautiful obsession, and perhaps also his greatest burden.

Watch this Redmond rant again with that context. It really hits differently now.

This comment is exactly my thought whilst watching. I’ve over-consumed this interview, so surprised it’s not behind a pay wall of some sort. Open dialogue, opposing views - great chow. Thank you Economist

Musicians just be telling stories, so do salesmen. Both generate emotion in the consumer. Both pay attention to pain points really, both generate revenue as a result right?
