PEP When you go through the group stages, its a big success as few teams go through every season. Imagine to go to the last eight with the best teams in Europe - it's an incredible success. I approach this competition in this way.

PEP Anything can happen in this competition. We must make incredible efforts in epic situations to go through. What happened in the first game can happen in the second one. We'll try and play a perfect game and do what we need to do to go through.
 
The so called journos were so concerned about asking Pep how important it is for City to win the CL Cup they all forgot to ask who is available.
P ricks all of them.

For my taste that was a pure demonstation of fan power, emotionally driven.

Did it help the team, completely lacking confidence? Definetly it was counter productive.
Why didn't they talk outside the ground, after emotions have calmed down?
And btw, stay away from the pitch ffs.

Slapping the team in the public is pisspoor and the opposite of support in bad times.

So you would rather put the players in wadding? The whole surrounding of Schalke was super quiet in the worst times this season. The calm times are over and that is good.
And how can you write something about "definetely counter productive"? Schalke played a lot better the next game...

Those people werent anyone, they were the leading heads of the ultras and after that historical defeat versus Düsseldorf something had to happen!

Football is/was pure emotion and if you cant handle an emotional club you should consider that before signing to one.

And btw Schalke supporters have a quite good feeling whether the team is giving a 100% or not.

Pep Guardiola: “I prefer this scoreline than the one at Anfield (last season) - 3-0 down! It's 90 minutes. Still we have a job to do.” “A week ago we didn’t expect to see what happened to PSG or Real Madrid!”

Pep Guardiola on @sterling7: “I have not made him a better player, he has done it himself! We try to do our best to help, but it depends on the player. He deserves all the credit. On Saturday he didn’t track his fullback a couple of times, so he can get better.”

Pep Guardiola on winning the Champions League: "Of course we want to win it [Champions League], but there are teams who have already gone out who also had that same desire."

Pep Guardiola on winning the Champions League: “If people think the Champions League will be easy because Real Madrid are out then it's because these people don't understand what this competition is about."

Pep Guardiola on Manchester City fans booing the Champions League anthem: “My feeling now, and maybe I'm wrong, is that the fans are starting to enjoy the competition more and they think we can do it."

PEP We are teenagers in this competition. That's how I feel. You have to dream, to point as high as possible and at the same time accept there are other teams thinking the same. We cannot deny how strong they are.

Thanks for posting these. Really appreciated by those of us who don't see the press conferences.

Even Schalke has a big coaching team and a many more experienced people in the club to tell the players what was wrong.
If you want fan delegates to do that job instead on the pitch, go ahead.
Let's just agree to disagree on this.
