Read this interview with Dani Alves.

It fits the demonic intense genius image I had of Pep before he came. But I don't see it at press conferences. perhaps he is different with the players. At press conferences I think he struggles a little with the language. Perhaps it's the same with the English players, or do you think he does whatever it takes to get his point across?
Must be a bit of an obstacle for a manager to captivate and control his players when he has to do it in a different language?
Obviously not an insurmountable problem as he managed in Germany, and a 2nd year his English will be better.
Probably explains why so few English managers go abroad. They just can't communciate. We are so lucky. We don't have to learn another language when so many other people do, or maybe it holds people back not learning. The more skills you have and learning the better you can adapt. Somehow gone off topic!
