not to get real on you but if you ever think you can't change anything on your own (in regards to whatever); that one singular fan yelling "remember who you are" to one of the greatest athletes of our time genuinely woke him up from all that self doubt and anxiety 🥲
Pep Guardiola is much more than just an unbelievable manager.
He spoke up for the people of Palestine, Sudan and Congo while others looked away.
Pep used his platform to defend our shared humanity. That will never be forgotten. Thank you, Pep.
On stage in Barcelona, Pep Guardiola @pepteam speaks for the children of Gaza during the Act x Palestine charity event. Wearing a keffiyeh, he welcomes everyone with a ‘Salam Aleykoum.’
Funds raised tonight are destined for grassroots and humanitarian projects in Palestine.
🚨🗣️ 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Pep Guardiola has shown support for the Palestinian people at the 'Concert for Palestine' in Barcelona:
"We are on the side of the oppressed. Today we STAND with Palestine, but not just Palestine, but with all causes... It is a statement for Palestine, and for humanity."
"Just like in Barcelona when we were bomb*d in 1938, today, as in London and Paris, we are standing before the world and openly showing that we stand with the weakest."
"I have seen a child recording himself, pleading ‘where is my mother?’ among the rubble, and he still doesn’t know what's happening..."
"And I always think: what must the children be thinking? I think we have left them alone, ABANDONED. I always imagine them saying, ‘Where are you? Come help us’."
"And so far, even now, we haven’t done it! We have left them ALONE!" 🇵🇸
Reasons why most of us believed Amorim’s system was going to work
•He made us play the most beautiful football we’ve seen since the Ferguson era.
•He made an average squad look like a proper, well coached team that actually knew what it was doing.
•We pressed teams aggressively and consistently dominating possession, shots, set pieces, and xG, something we hadn’t done in years.
•Big teams like Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Arsenal were no longer beating us by 4-5+ goals.
•He took us to Anfield and won a place we hadn’t won at in over nine years.
•He had followed the club for years and understood that there was a deep rooted rot within it.
•He knew football is a results business, but he was brave enough to try fixing the core problems before chasing short term results.
•Player power was no longer an issue because of how disciplined and firm he was.
Had a call with a strong engineering candidate today
He was two minutes late and looked apologetic.
“I’m so sorry for being late!”
I said, “That’s okay. Everything alright?”
He replied, “Yeah, I was just helping my girlfriend with some errands.”
I paused.
“You… have a girlfriend?”
He nodded. “Yeah, we’ve been together for three years.”
I sighed.
Red flag.
“I’m sorry. I don’t think this will be a good fit. Wish you all the best.”
I ended the call immediately.
If your software engineer can talk to women, that's not a good sign.
The best male engineers can barely make eye contact with one.
If your male engineer is in a relationship (or God forbid, married), he’s at best a B-player
Always hire A-players
