Pep Guardiola - 2019/20 Performances

"Bernardo now knows, 'Wow, Riyad is an incredible player,' and has to make a step forward. Riyad wanted to come back and wanted to play. I like it! Everybody has to know I trust all of them. That is the truth. They have to compete with each other...""With the opponents, but compete with each other. You want to play next week? You have to play good. That is why we maintain high standards. We have to feel pressure. If you don't then there is a tendency to be relaxed, sloppy like the first half...""If the players don't play good I have to think others deserve it. They must play good to show respect to those who aren't playing."

Pep Guardiola on #WHUMCI: "The first 10 to 15 minutes was not really good. It was not good. We didn't finish actions and were caught on the counter-attack. Not good. They know. It wasn't necessary to tell them, they know. Second half was much, much better." #MCFC

Pep Guardiola says the ‘dream’ scenario when signing players is that they have the right character and personal qualities in addition to technical proficiency: “That is the dream. To see the skills on TV is easy. But when you are not with him, you don’t know...”

“We prefer to work with nice people. The aim when you are working every day is to enjoy the moments with them. When you go to Manchester City, at this type of club, the quality is there. They already have talent, there is no doubt about that.” [via @ManCity]

Pep when asked about his time with us:

Q. You seem like a guy that likes changes and new challenges. You only did four years at Barcelona and you’re now entering your fourth at City, having signed a contract until 2022. What is it about the Premier League and City that makes you want to stay?

A. I have everything. I wouldn’t be able to find another place that gives me so much. I have the person most important to me during my career, Txiki Begiristain, alongside me. I’m at a club that supports me whether I win or lose; I remember when we finished third in my first year and the club asked me what they can do to help. I have a young team. I feel loved. In England they have a culture where you feel part of the family if you wear the same shirt, whether you win or lose. I’m left to do my work on the training ground and have great relationships with everyone around the place.

Pep Guardiola on motivating the players this season: “When we are nine-years-old, you play in school with your friends, you want to win. No one teaches you your mentality, to be competitive. You want to win

“It’s not about how you motivate. We tell them many things, but you can’t be at a high level if you don’t have desire. They have it for themselves. All Premier League players have that desire to do well.” [via @ManCity]

Pep Guardiola on why he joined Manchester City: "Firstly, they wanted me. If they don't want you, you don't come. Secondly, friends of mine who gave me the opportunity to become a manager at Barcelona - Txiki Begiristain. I felt comfortable to join him again..."

"Then I found something I didn't expect - how good this club is. It is extraordinary how the people here work, and I feel comfortable working here with these people." [via @SkyFootball]

Pep Guardiola on Instagram: "I don't know the benefits. When I am eating something to show [people] what I am eating. I don't know if food tastes better if you put it on Instagram. Sometimes it's better to protect our private life. You don't need it." [via @SkyFootball]
