A biography for Pep Guardiolahasn’t been written yet.
“It is one of the best clubs in the world by far. I'm loving Manchester City.”
“Tactics are so important because everybody has to know what they have to do on the pitch. The relationships and behaviours off the pitch between team-mates have to be as good as possible.”
“In some times of the game, you have to be more simple.”
“I don't like it when a player says, 'I like freedom; I want to play for myself.' Because the player has to understand he is part of a team with 10 other players. If everyone wants to be a jazz musician, it will be chaos. They will not be a team, and nothing will be possible.”
“Why am I here? Yes, to win titles, because then I will feel happy for the people. But the process is the reason why.”
“The Premier League is so difficult.”
“Barcelona are special in the way they play. They're a machine.”
“When you're out on the touchline, like a winger, it is easier to play. You see everything: the mess, the crowd, the activity is all inside. When you play inside, you don't see anything in there because so much is happening in such a small space and all around you.”
“I think all managers have to be so demanding.”
“Let us fight until the end. Let me try at least that - fight.”
“I will not be on the bench until I am 60 or 65 years old.”
“I want to play the football I feel.”
“The people say I have to change? Well, the people have to tell me what I should do to change.”
“In football, the worst things are excuses. Excuses mean you cannot grow or move forward.”
“You know what happens in all the big companies and business in the world. If something doesn't work, you have to find a solution.”
“To score four times against an Italian team when you trail 2-0 is a big deal.”
“People say you must be pragmatic, more clinical. More pragmatic than me? I'm sorry.”
“Creating something new is the difficult part. To make it and build it and get everyone to follow? Amazing.”
“I thank Manchester City for giving me the opportunity to train these amazing players.”
“I have to understand the rules here in England.”
