Bagi para pendukungnya, pelatih sepak bola yg dahsyat adalah pemimpin spiritual yg bisa sangat dicintai dari lubuk hati terdalam.
Sebab ia memberikan kebahagiaan kolektif yg murni, memberikan kekuatan pd identitas, memberikan kenangan2 emosional yg luar biasa..
A message from Pep Guardiola’s daughter, Maria. 👇
“papi ♥️ We blinked and it’s been 10 years. 10 seasons. Hundreds of away games, trips to Wembley, too many Bernabeu nights, and millions of memories.
“Football was never just a sport. It decided where we lived, how often we moved, the languages we learned, the friends we made and the emotions we felt. From as long as I can remember it was football stadiums. Moving to Doha, Mexico, Rome, Brescia, Barcelona, New York, Munich and Manchester. Thank you for giving us a childhood built around sport, something so rare and special.
“We moved again, for the 8th time in 14 years. Manchester is very hard to put into words. You changed the most respected league in the world. You achieved things and broke records that may never be repeated. And we got to experience all of it from the closest seat possible.
“The happiest and saddest tears came from football, because watching you live every second so intensely made us feel everything with you. Those 90 minutes where the world feels like it stops.
“We think people forget quickly because football moves fast and a new season always starts. But as time passes, we’ll realise just how impossible those numbers really are. 41 trophies in 16 years.
“Years from now people will talk about football and try to explain what this era felt like, they’ll talk about your teams, the way they made people feel. Because beyond the trophies, you gave us memories we escaped real life for.
“It has been a privilege to watch and support you for almost 25 years. Thank you for always bringing us close to everything, for including us in it all. The biggest privilege has been to live it all beside you.
“As citizens, football fans and rivals we will miss seeing you on our screens every week. Because without realising it there is a final match, a final whistle. And none of us are ever really ready for that moment.
“Thank you papi and mami, the beautiful things in our lives always trace back to this game.
“For the world these were historic football moments, for us they were family memories, and I don’t think any of us realised while living it, that we were inside football history. And that stays long after the final whistle ♥️”

People criticise Man City because they don’t have as much fans as Man United and the likes, but one thing they know how to do is honor people.
Yesterday, after the game at Etihad, they awarded Bernardo and John Stones a lifetime ticket to Man City games, amongst many other things.
On the red side of Manchester, Paul Scholes was complaining recently on a podcast that he was struggling to get a match ticket for a Man United game, this is a player who won dozens of titles at the club.
In this clip, they also honor a player who won the FA Cup for them 50 years ago.
Run it down to Kompany, to Fernandinho, to the new generation, Man City as a club know how to honor people. Give them that.
In fact, they missed honoring Ederson and Gundogan, guess what, they brought them back to the club yesterday, and the event today.
Their fans also feel closer to the club and players than many bigger clubs. This event was £12 and sold out. Look at the organisation.
Pep Guardiola meninggalkan lebih dari sekadar trofi. Ia membangun identitas dan mengubah Manchester City jadi istana biru sepak bola modern.
Dominasi di Istana Biru terasa seperti kebiasaan. Di Inggris hingga Eropa, warisannya berdiri di atas visi, detail, dan keberanian.
Perjalanan Pep di Etihad berakhir. Tapi, jejaknya akan tetap hidup di tribun dan setiap permainan City di masa depan.
Terima kasih, Pep Guardiola. Era Sang Filsuf mungkin tak akan terulang lagi.🥹💔 ❤️
Sekuat-kuatnya Persipura, sebintang-bintangnya Sriwijaya, mereka belum pernah melakukan ini.
Persib Bandung resmi menjadi tim pertama sejak era Liga Indonesia yang berhasil menjuarai liga tiga musim beruntun!
Sebuah pencapaian yang akan sangat sulit disamai klub lain di Indonesia, mungkin dalam satu dekade kedepan.
Untuk juara sekali, lo butuh tim bagus. Tapi untuk juara tiga kali beruntun, lo butuh mental, konsistensi, tekanan, kualitas, dan rasa lapar yang bisa bertahan selama bertahun-tahun.
Kalo bintang 4 disebut Jendral, kalo bintangnya 5 disebut apa daks? Jendralnya jendral? 😆

Pesan Pep Guardiola kepada penggemar Manchester City setelah laga melawan Bournemouth:
🗣️ Pep: “IZINKAN AKU NGOMONG SAMA CHAIRMAN KLAUBKU DULU! Aku tahu mereka sangat mencintaiku, aku lebih mencintai kalian! Aku tahu itu.”
“Ini adalah tempat terbaikku, aku mencintai tempat ini. Aku mengaguminya.”
“Jadi biarkan aku bicara tentang klubku? Meskipun orang-orang bilang aku sudah bicara dengan seribu juta orang dan individu. Aku hanya ingin sangat-sangat fokus pada pekerjaanku, dan ketika kami berada di kompetisi, aku ada di sana dan ini yang harus kulakukan.”
PEP STAY? 👀
Siapa pemain bola paling bingung di dunia sekarang? Menurut gue jawabannya adalah Nico O’Reilly.
Setahunan yg lalu, dia masih ‘nobody’. Bocah lulusan akademi umur 19 tahun yg dipromosiin Pep Guardiola ke tim senior City, dikasih nomor punggung 2 digit mendekati 99, dan dimainin sesekali aja.
Waktu itu, O’Reilly udah sempet main beberapa kali buat City, dan ditaro Pep sesuai posisi yg biasa dia mainin di akademi: gelandang tengah.
Awal kebingungannya muncul di satu sesi latihan sebelom City bantai Salford 8-0 di Piala FA. Tiba-tiba Pep bilang ke O’Reilly: “Oke, kamu besok main ya, jadi bek kiri.”
Jiwa O’Reilly meronta-ronta tuh di situ. “Perasaan gue di akademi tugasnya nyerang & bikin ide buat jebol gawang lawan, ini gimanaaa lah tutorial jadi bek.”
Tanpa O’Reilly sadari, Pep lagi nyusun masterclass di situ. Si pelatih yg hobi eksperimen ini seneng bgt nemu ‘mainan’ baru, mana gratis pula dari akademi.
Match lawan Salford itu jadi percobaan. Bener aja, O’Reilly masih agak kikuk dan sering bgt naik ke posisi nyamannya di midfield, bahkan sampe ke kotak penalti lawan. Dia juga nyetak gol debutnya buat City di match itu.
Eksperimennya cukup oke, akhirnya Pep terus-terusan naro O’Reilly jadi bek kiri. Dari sini kebingungan O’Reilly nambah lagi. Tiba-tiba jadi sering main. Dapet kontrak baru sampe 2030. Main buat Timnas Inggris. Market value-nya naik jadi €50juta. Dan lain-lain. Semua terjadi begitu cepat.
Bahkan bisa nyetak 2 gol di final Carabao Cup sehari setelah dia ulang tahun, bawa klub favoritnya juara.
Saking versatile-nya O’Reilly, orang-orang pun bingung dia ini posisinya apa sih. Even Transfermarkt bilang dia udah main di 6 posisi musim ini. Hasilnya so far 15 G/A dari 47 match.
Dah lah bebas, atur aja. Kayak kata Oasis: “I’m freeeeee to be whatever I”
David Silva was more aesthetically pleasing…
De Bruyne put up significantly better numbers…
Rodri had the best individual season out of any of them…
But Bernardo Silva might be the most intelligent of the lot. That versatility, that grit…
He’s started every League game since mid-October and been absolutely essential to City’s title challenge.
Over 40 appearances for 9 consecutive seasons, 15 major honours…
