Juanma Lillo | Leaving the club before the CWC (p52)

can we send him away for a year again?

last year it worked, he was not here, we won this treble thing. :)
 
Since he has come back pep don't make subs as often and his thinking is the same as pep sometimes you need someone with a slightly different thinking! Someone younger

He needs a strong assistant to slap some sense into him at times. We keep losing his assistants to manager roles and perhaps the current set up inc coaching is too comfortable and Pep isnt challenged as we have regressed all over the pitch this season

We should bring Ten Hag in as assistant.

I think there is a lot stubbornness about him,but he has plenty credit in the bank to last him a lifetime,he’s a winner and picks what he thinks a team to win the match,but like I keep saying the use of subs or not, is baffling

Indeed. Yer get those commentators who eulogise a manager who brings on a couple of subs and it apparently turns the game - that'd be the only time in the entire season that it would have happened, but they make out he's a magician. There are too many variables in a game of football for anyone to be a magician - they either know what they are doing, are lucky, or both!

Don’t know what team you’ve been watching but I don’t see the regression you’re seeing!!

Kompany? His intimidating presence alone would shake some sense back into him ;)

If you took some time to read Martí Perarnau's latest book Pep Guardiola The Revolution you might have a different view, as I now do, In it he alludes to them arguing about football a lot with both have very strong views, but never falling out Juanma has been and continues to be a huge influence on Pep and is not a comfort blanket

I'd love to hear this madcap theory.

He can’t speak a word of English, there’s a segment on it in the 4 in a row documentary. How is he meant to form close bonds with the players the way Arteta, Maresca & others have, and pass on his wisdom if he can’t communicate?

Pep has a rule about all football staff having to learn English, but has made an exception for Catalan Kev
