🇦🇷🗣️ Mascherano: "Pep Guardiola's legacy is not the titles. His legacy is what he contributed to football."
"This sport can be divided into pre-Pep and post-Pep. When I arrived in Europe in 2006, it was very different from how we now look at football after Pep's Barca." (Ole)
People think Pep was appointed Barca coach because he was a Barca player.
“And then he got a lot of elite players and won it all.” 🥴
People need to study what Pep did in Barca’ B team. Or they don’t need to study anything, they can just talk, it’s free.
It's quite obvious here that the younger Pep needed to be more assertive and quicker to shut down suggestions of wavering in his beliefs but the older Pep has been vindicated after 8 years in the EPL and nothing can move him again
Always stay true to yourself

This is why Pep Guardiola is the best, he gets it.
—guiding principles & philosophy is a constant (never changes).
—game-model & tactical systems CAN change
—information gathered from players skillsets mould the methodology of the game-model (players are tactics)
@0161Darren It will be an epic battle. His condition says he’s scheming something, hopefully his usual: planing deep and making it look easy.
Come on, Pep, do a ‘Real Madrid’ tomorrow.
Loaded but lots of unusual silence; journalists being careful of how they frame their questions; and pep trying to say as little as possible probably to diffuse tension leading to the game and be able to focus on the football
We are in for a thriller guys🔥🔥
Why Pep tells to his 𝐚𝐜𝐞 players to keep it simple, to do the simple things right, over and over again? Why he tells them to follow easy principles? Why he cares about rhythm of the game more than its speed and even scoring?
Because he wants 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞. Because 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬/𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲. Because 𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐝. 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐧𝐭, win multiple trophies and set multiple records.
Why Redondo tries to dribble through 6 players, and loses the ball? Why Allen tries a 40 yard cross, and gives the ball away? Why are they trying to be clever and fast at the expense of their rhythm, dynamics, quality, and leave almost every game open?
I either got to stop watching City or got to stop watching Inter Miami. Neither will happen. And that’s going to be a problem.
🔴 Klopp: “Pep is the best manager in the world. In my lifetime, he’s the outstanding manager”.
“The way he influenced football. Many trophies won but he behaves like he's never won anything… the desire is outstanding”.
“I see excellence. Pep is definitely that”.
Guardiola, touchline instructions and ‘everything is difficult’
Plus: “I’m going to tell you what the most difficult thing in football is. It is before the draw saying, ‘City is going to win easily’. So you have to do it. This is the most difficult.” https://t.co/DxYK85dJfR
Guardiola made it clear after the match last night that he wasn't thinking about Liverpool when he made the team selection as a lot of the regular starters felt exhausted after the Derby😉
Welldone pep👍
“Looks like aggregate 6-2 it’s easy. It’s not. At the end today Madrid suffered to go through against Leipzig, in the past we played against Leipzig (people said), ‘Ah, it’s easy’, it’s not. It’s difficult, it’s difficult, everything is difficult. To be still in the Premier League is difficult. FA Cup is difficult, going to Luton and winning is difficult. But the people (take) for granted now. That’s good, (it means) our standards are (high), but we know internally, me as a manager and the players, that everything is difficult. That is what I want to feel from my club, from the hierarchy, the people working here and the players.”

not only wins, but excels in winning with ease. Hence his victories bring him neither reputation for wisdom nor credit for courage.”

#Epic. Their deep understanding and level of preparation make it look easy.
