Pep (Sky Interview)

[oakiecokie]

As others have said he`s so humble.
He made it clear that he doesn`t like players who come over as Billy Big Bollocks "look at me".
Thanks fuck we wont be getting the biggest poser in world football,that horrible egotistical twat from Real,who is Portugese and a name that I hate mentioning.

 

[Onlymcfc]

That and he said “if we don’t win the pl next season, we will analyse and improve”, something along those lines

Fingers crossed for a long future with Pep

 

[Rammy Blue]

Loved that Pep never gave too much away about the tactics, “just keep it simple”, lmao.

 

[give & go]

Ha ha. if you don't run you sit next to me

we know where Lukaku would be sitting

think that's why Sergio has improved his workrate

 

[Neville Kneville]

Brilliant programme that.

The biggest thing that comes over from him, is that although everyone think we do it in a complicated way, we don't its just the simple things, perfected.

And a lot of it is about working very hard & defending.

And how that fucks up, if someone gives the ball away stupidly. If someone is being pressed, the team expects he might lose it, so are more ready to react, but if somene loses the ball stupidly, they are all out of position.

Also put to bed the idea he likes them to take an extra pass around in the box. He wants them to shoot as soon as they get chance.

There's one area he can make a huge improvement on, imo, when he talks about new ideas to combat the bus parkers next season.

and maybe he saw that in Sanchez as the deal fell apart.

The pain in ratboys face was worth the watch itself.

Good shout.I`d forgotten about that deal.

 

[r.soleofsalford]

it was indeed.

About that, I think he's serious, and everything he said tonight said that.

Football is simple, have the ball, work it well, create scoring chances, we do it very well (even if I don't think we score from enough imho).

And a lot of it is about working very hard & defending.

That was the biggest thing that came out of it, and, don't work hard enough, and you won't play.

 

[Shaelumstash]

Can you see Jose or Klipperty being invited to do this.

Not sure if we should take it as a compliment or not?

Klopp's already done it, he was excellent as well. He said David Silva is his favourite player in the Premier League.

 

[Shaelumstash]

I know a lot of top, top coaches(I used to coach american football for 5 years) and let me tell you, listening to Pep is like listening to the top, elite guys. The passion for his process and the tactics. He's a proper, proper coach.

He is the top elite guy!

 

[Barcon]

Any links to watch this? Ta.

 

[OB1]

There’s two big thick books about it from his time at Bayern still not stopped us. He isn’t giving away anything that rival managers don’t know

He was being quite careful not to give too much away. I still don't know if City have a pitch marked out with zones at the CFA like he did at Bayern but if they do, they never show as far as I am aware on club videos and he did not refer to it tonight, which he could have in response to one question.

 

[Da_Blu_Moona]

Missed this because of work - any links to watch on?! Please.

 

[Burtonblue]

Very clever man.
Said a lot but gave away very little that wasn’t already known.
Bamboozeled Neville no end despite ratboy’s all too obvious attempts to tap into his secrets.
Truth is we are becoming the ultimate team, one that plays like a real unit. It’s done through drilling over and over again on set patterns of play. When players move in a certain direction all others know what to do and where to go. It looks very simple but extremely complicated to achieve. That’s Pep’s secret and why nobody else can emulate it.
The man is an absolute genius!

Pep's positional play ain't that simple, that's one reason it took time for the team to get to the right level.

Nice programme with a couple of classic moments. Nothing really new in there in terms of information but it did demonstrate what a likable personality he is and just how quick his football brain is.

 

[burnley blue mcfc]

Pep’s only fault was every time he mentioned “big clubs” he included rags ;), fantastic program apart from that

 

[cleavers]

No, but football is quite simple, and Pep's football is a lot more simple than many imagine imho.

 

[hammocity]

Pep is a genius, it infuriated me when we had such great midfielders that Bobby Manc and Pellers who are both, quite rightly legends, sometimes reverted to the Goalkeeper lumping the ball over the top missing out very talented midfielders, Pep is the man.
