A very good text written from Pep's last Pep project Joshua Kimmich (you could take it as a text how to become a football professional, too!)

Part of it:
And then last January my agent called.

“What would you think if I said Bayern Munich wanted to have you?”

Wait, what?

“No way, that’s not possible.”

“Joshua, they want to have you.”

I didn’t believe him.

“I want to hear it from the manager,” I said.

One of the greatest clubs in football wanted me? A few weeks later, I would hear it directly from the manager, as I sat down in a conference room at Bayern’s offices waiting to meet Pep Guardiola.

All I knew about Pep was from what I had seen on TV. I was so nervous, but as he walked in, I felt it right away — that trust. And immediately I knew: I wanted to play for Bayern. Pep spoke to me about my strengths and my weaknesses, and how he wanted to help me become a better player by learning a different style of play.

“I want you on this team,” he told me.

That’s a moment I will never forget.

I felt like Pep and Bayern had seen something in me, and I wanted to show them that they weren’t wrong.
