As a chess and football fan, I see this as an absolute win.
Same!
Same 😂
Same 😂😂
same
It's brilliant
Magnus explained football and chess perfectly. Even PEP was shocked there
bro can be a football manager. also he played FPL a lot
I didn't expect his answers to be so thorough, but then again I shouldn't be surprised cos he's a chess genius
@@yanz_77he was first in fpl
@@markrobertson3054i know
Both are strategic sports.
Imagine Magnus as a football manager referring to his players as chess pieces at half time 😵💫
Going with the analogy, every pawn would be a bishop then if you are just buying the best players.
89 min: QUEEEN SACRIFIICEE!!!
Yeah, but who'll be the team's queen? )))😄
@DMxalava if you're Man City then Haaland 🤣🤣 most valuable player but you know he's going to get injured at some point 🙈🙈
LMAO@@Naslednik.
You can tell Magnus really enjoyed this interview ... he seemed so engaged, more so than most chess interviews I remember. And Pep as well, seemed to really respect Magnus's feedback ... Great video
GOATs

Pawn e4

Pep was looking at Magnus as if he was about to offer him a job as an advisor 😂
he propably did 😂 At Bayern Munich he wanted to field Manuel neuer as a Midfielder once, the Bosses werent happy haha
I thought the other way around
To be honest, he looked like he wanted to do something much more radical xD
Haha very true! There was lust in those eyes 😍😝
Magnus is being a bit humble. He trained professionally until he was 12, I think. Then he switched his entire focus to chess
Props to FG! These questions were actually relevant, and also keeping both guests entertained/in the conversation. The football-chess parallel was super interesting.
Edit: Also, yes. Would've literally sat there and listened to a podcast of you three. Definitely, we need a part 2 of this someday, with the same three people.
need videos so podcast unlikely
Magnus Carlsen loosing his PUMA deal from next year. So not gonna happen.
fg didnt create those questions he just read them out for them
I disagree. I think most of these questions, like most other interviews, are obvious questions which prompt obvious answers and a little bit of deviation from the answer by the person being interviewed.
"How important is patience in chess?" (Obviously very important, like with all facets of life).
"Are there situations where you can turn defensive situations into an attacking one within a matter of moves?" (Yes, like with virtually every sport or game).
"Do you change your strategy when things aren't going your way?" (A resounding yes- it's an established thing for anything involving a strategy).
I think these questions are more of a prompt to get the person interviewing just to initiate a bit of an answer surrounding the topic, but not the actual question itself and I personally dislike media-trained interviewers like this one.
You can see how thrilled Magnus is with strategy and Football when Guardiola was explaining Foden’s goal and vicerversa, Pep super excited on Magnus analogy of Chess to Football!
Seeing 2 intelligent minds that drive their knowledge and professional career to the highest peak is nothing but amazing!
This interview is delightful to see!
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to host / be in the same room as these two geniuses! 😀🤝
smashed it bro,
You did amazing bro 🙌🏼 watched the whole thing
You led the conversation smoothly; even as a language teacher, I am learning from you. Keep it up!
Great job!
You did really great. Youbasked interesting question and most importantly didn't interrupted them. You just controlled the flow of conversation as an interviewer should. I'm sad it's not a standard with talk shows, but you did it like I think (and a lot of other comments do as well) it should be done
Pep was clearly impressed when Magnus was speaking. The eyes say it all
He’s gonna use it as a Pepe talk for the next match 😂
He recognizes talent!!!
Well yeah, he literally said he was right?
Yeah he was.
Well yea Magnus is the Messi of chess he saw the greatness
I remember Pep saying he spoke to chess players about mental preparation and how to deal with the mental fatigue of high pressure situations over long periods. This conversation just felt naturally should happen considering what both have achieved at the highest level
Now we need Hikaru and Jose Mourinho.
😂😂😂
You can tell Pep enjoyed this. He looked so deep in thought when Magnus was speaking.
Yes both of them are great 👍
game recognizes game. pep knows he is sitting next to a guy who is probably the most dominant in his field in our century.
He was tryna get some ideas
Next: Magnus must MEET Haaland. They're both Norwegian built in the same lab, probably.
Underrated comment
Goooooo
And Warholm as well!😂
Please make it happen. The goat of chess and goat of football
@@lma5508goat of chess ok but I don't know about the goat of football part
Two absolute geniuses in their own game. You can tell how much magnus admires pep and how surprised pep was when magnus was giving similarities between chess and football.
You can tell Magnus is trying to absorve every bit he can when he is stearing the TV while Guardiola explains what's going on. Admirable brain and focus capavilities he has!!!!!
COME ON!! 12 minutes??
Puma!! Man City!! Carlsen!!
We need at least an hour of Pep and Magnus - and the interviewer!
Be grateful that we got to see this in the first place 😅
I appreciate that you also remembered the interviewer.
interviewer or his team definitely prepared work for this, espescially in the chess criteria great questions
Agreed!!
...and who was the interviewer?
Sorry, I`m Austrian, so...
Butif you know the guy so far... an answer would benice...
it's rare that someone impresses pep. You clearly see magnus caught peps attention within the first 10 sec when Pep crossed his arms and touched his face.
Cause Pep is an egomaniac that’s why it’s rare to impress him.
@@anubis8586 Nice try Yaya Toure better luck next time
@@anubis8586 you don't make it to this level of competitiveness in any sport without a big ego.
@@Fear_Draco717 lmao touche tbh 💀😭
@@Damdebase you’re right but pep’s ego is a bit different.
This commentator is a genius at his job.
So calm. Asks perfect questions. Perfect Execution.
I learned as much from him as Magnus and Pep.
I think he asks robotic and cliche questions that we know the answer to.
This has been the collaboration I didn’t know I needed.. my favourite chess player meet the best manager of the best football club.. thank you for such an amazing video!
Incredible hearing Magnus speak about the similarities between chess and football
He's not only the greatest chess player of all time, but also was briefly ranked world no 1 in 2019 in Premiere League fantasy football
What is that supposed to mean explain in layman's terms
Stop the cap that just proves his mind is on another level..
@@thaaRealMFer9944he is extremely good at predicting who is gonna win the football match.
@@thaaRealMFer9944 There are about 10 million people around the world that play the Premier League's Fantasy Football game. There was one week in 2019 when Magnus was the number one fantasy player in the world. He is very proud of that.
@@PierroTheJester Oh wow man's a true genius
Absolute brilliant stuff.
I wish it went longer, it is a gift to listen to these two legends.
My goodness... Two actual geniuses of two though competitions. I was surprised to hear how similar the strategy could be. You could also tell both Pep and Carlsen enjoyed the moments.
Thank you Puma
This is such an insane crossover, as both a Man City fan and a lover of chess.
All the best at the currently ongoing CCT to Magnus. Vamos. 💯
Dude Magnus is Real Madrid fan.
@@sazanrai6210 As a Real Madrid fan, Vamos!
Hala Madrid amigo !!!
I am a man city fan too, and a chess fan pushing for 1600. I didn't know there were so many like me here!
But I am hoping for Hikaru to win CCT even though he currently might be going out
A Football Genius, A Chess World Champion and Pep Guardiola all in the same room😮💨
Mega stuff FG x
Quite literally a brilliant move 💀
He is not a champion, he is a GOAT
That’s like describing messi as a champions league winner
Fix your app
This could be an entire series; "Pep and Magnus Masterclass". Where they analyze strategy and tactics in different sports like rugby, tennis, poker etc. would definitely watch it.
Love how Pep's eyes lit up when Magnus said the important thing is to control the middle and switching the side of the play.
magnus explained parallels between football and chess really good
I wish he had more time to go more in depth about it, he barely touched the surface.
Look at Pep,he looked at Magnus every time he spoke...
Pep's eyes
Literally two GOATS in their sports! For a Football fan and a chess fan this is a dream combination!
Brilliant. I love both of these guys and seeing them having a conversation is incredible
bravo to the host for asking great questions and allowing these two geniuses to share their wisdom uninterrupted.
it's common to see hosts who do too much and end up imposing themselves onto a video like this, really nice to see one who gets it.
this is not a crossover i ever expected to see
Man these 2 talking about each sport is just amazing.. I can't even explain how it makes me feel, its like a rush and I love it. I could listen to these 2 talking about their craft all day long.
Truly fascinating! You can feel the mutual admiration bt Pep & Magnus, and I appreciated learning about the similar strategies of football & chess.
The best interview I have seen in both sports. What an insane explanation Magnus gave to the resemblance of football and chess, the look on Pep's face says it all. Lastly the interviewer was just amazing, great questions, solid handling of two pure geniuses. Very very enjoyable to watch and what a nice unexpected collision of two legends.
Great comment 😉
Chess is not a sport. It’s a game.
@@alihughes5516 Football is not a sport. It's a game. 😂
@@alihughes5516football is also a game! Does it mean it’s not a sport?d
Look how happy is Magnus to be there and talk about this.
I think he feels on the same wave and mindset as Pep. Great chemistry and duo 😊
I’m obsessed with both football and chess, and I feel so blessed to have seen this duo!
All I can say is WOW what an interview! Amazing for us lovers of both chess and football. It would've been great to see Magnus and Haaland speaking too.
@@Iris-lh7rf I admire your boldness, but you need Jesus. He is the only way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but by Him!
I'd say it'd feel "very good" 😂
As a Chess and Football fanatic, this was incredible to see.
Magnus is a huge football fan. He was ranked no 1 in the world in Fantasy Premier League once. The game against Ian Nepomniachtchi that was mentioned, was the 6th game of the World Chess Match 2021. The first 5 games were draws, and Magnus won the 6th game in 136 moves and 7 1/2 hours. It is the longest game in World Championship history. That 6th game broke Ian, Magnus went on to win games 8, 9, and 11 and won the best of 14 games match comfortably, 7.5 to 3.5, for his 5th Classical World Championship title.
How do know he did well in fantasy league
Were are the facts ? 🤔😤
i love the way magnus is trying to simplify chess concepts for pep. magnus knows more football compared to how pep knows chess. As a chess and football fan lots for respect for both. I JUST LOVE THIS 12 MINUTE VIDEO WISH IT COULD HAVE BEEN AN HOUR.
Agree - fast 12 minutes.
a podcast.
you can see pep was really listening to magnus and showing him lots of admiration and respect. Hats off to pep!
What a great interview. I saw a short clip from this a few days ago and I knew I had to come and watch the full thing. Two geniuses right here haha. A nice calm interview.
We want more of Pep and Magnus collab! Or a much longer interview.
Let's make these two brainstorm something 😊
let's make them brainstorm of all the pokemon can beat 1 billion lions
Pep and Magnus deserve their credit but the interviewer asked really good questions.
It's great to see how carefully Pep listens to what Magnus says.
As a city fan and a chess fan at the same time, this is truly a brilliant moment!
The amount of genius there is crazy😂
Without Riyad in that movement everything would not be possible. He still thanks and praises him What a coach
not juz on that villa game *Riyad* hold da ball & dink to *dinho* so he could thru pass to *Gabi* than do that perfect crosses to *Bernardo* to pull da triggered.
Honestly, Gundo and Riyad are missed in the Etihad
@@walidovicvald2978Gundo was really the missing piece between Rodri and the attack
The most unexpected crossover ever expected, just loved it Kudos to Mancity.
Genius meets genius…such a great vid. Breaking down everything w correlation…pep remembers everything literally
do one with magnus x haaland!!!! The prides of Norway!
How Magnus explained football in chess terms calmly has stunned both Pep and myself 😅
A collab I never thought I needed. Two masters of their craft.
Interview is great by the way, very warm and personable and natural (not forced) eye contact
That was a great idea, to combine 2 great tacticians and find the similarities between football and chess. It's a great brainstorm and opportunity to find new ideas 💡
The way Pep looks at Magnus when he describes chess using football terms makes my heart smile.
Props to the interviewer. Amazing questions and handled the interview so well.
As a city fan and chess player, this couldn't get any better.
Magnus as a Football Manager after his done with Chess would be incredible 👀
2 men who i didn`t knew could be an interested 2-3 Hour long interview . You could feel the respect for eachother, and a lot of similarities between the 2… nice…
@@Iris-lh7rf No thanks
Great interview, genuinely really interesting. So much better than the standard interview content.
You can see peps eyes light up when Magnus is talking about chess tactics, great to see even as a Liverpool fan
It's was so unexpected, but quite a pleasant surprise, nonetheless, to see these 2 guys I admire so much together
magnus have super memory, he can memorize almost every game that he played before. That's why he is one of the best chess player of all time
Incredible interviewer!! Amazing questions!
Need another hour of this interview guys.
Absolutely fantastic 👍
Everyone: He has great ball knowledge
Me: *Waiting for the new GothamChess vid about Magnus vs Pep*
For those who don't know much about chess, let me tell you that Magnus is the strongest chess player who has ever lived. He gave up his World Championship because he believed there was no adversary that could beat him in a WC match. And no one argued against it.
Yep. That's right. Magnus Carlsen is to chess, what Amadeus Mozart is to music. A gift from the Gods. I've lost count of the amount of times Magnus has found a win in the endgame that looked a dead draw. Kasparov was the greatest, but it's Carlsen now.
Bobby Fischer and Kasparov get a shout out too
@@samiraclexNot Fischer he cannot match the Magnus legacy and ‘personality’ too. After all, Fischer was and is a criminal.
he gave up his world championship? What do you mean?
he decided he didn't want to compete in that format and take a break from it (classical world championship which is the one where a game is played over a full day and they play first to ten games) he didn't believe the #2 could beat him in the format (Nepo) and tbh he proved it because he'd already beaten him in two classic world championship finals. So he gave up his title and let two other GMs compete for instead that earned their spots by qualifying Nepo and Ding Liren@@brucelee7782
The player Magnus was supposed to face before he decided not to to compete (Nepo) ended up losing the championship match so there's a chance Magnus will come back to compete for the next one against Liren
The crossover i didnt expect but i needed. Both are legends! GOATs
In Germany there is actually a term for football, especially looking at the tactical component and it is called "Rasenschach" which basically translates to "chess on a field" or "fieldchess" and I think it fits beautifully.
Magnus Carlsen is not only the one of the greatest chess players of all time, he was also #1 Fantasy Premier League player in the world.
*for one week
i kinda feel that the latter is his greatest achievement 😂😂😂😂😂
Magnus is great in many things..poker..fantasy league..football..and chess ultimately...he is not like any other chess champions..
That's why he's the GOAT! THE GOOOAAATTT!!!! @@GulaCuka
Pep and Magnus collab. That's amazing
And its only 12 minutes . That's a Crime
Massively respectful interview of both geniuses where both had great tidbits to share.
As a norwegian Liverpool-fan (since the 80's) who likes to watch chess but doesn't know how to play chess, this was one oddly satisfying interview to watch. Pep's been such an influential manager and person for both PL and the world of football. Sometimes, I think back to what a class player he was, but he's taken that class with him into the world of managing as well. Together with Liverpool, Man. City have dominated PL the past couple of years, more or less, and the constant battles Pep have had and still has with Jurgen Klopp is amazing to witness. Then it's Magnus Carlsen... His achievements says it all, really. How his memory is so solid when it comes to the game. His enormous list of openings, ways to get through troubles and how into the game he is, whether his winning or losing, is awesome to see. Yep, 2 world class people in their respective arenas that we can simply applaud. :)
Loserpool fans, always equating man city to Liverpool. Sorry lad, Liverpool has not domìnated EPL. 1 title in 8 years of klopp is below par
@@goodman4093 A classic bitter comment from a bitter, sour and a childish soul from you there. It never fails. I never claimed Liverpool were equal to Man. City, but let me elaborate (since my english isn't on par nor my main language): I simply said that together with Liverpool, Man. City's been dominating the PL for the past couple of years, which is true. Not in terms of titles, but in terms of play and overall performance and ranking. Even Pep's said himself that Liverpool's their main rival. It's just how it is. Don't try to take the focus away from the main point of my comment, which is to praise 2 outstanding personalities within their sports and simply move on with your bitterness.
I love how pep looked at magnus with fascination when he explain the similarities between chess and football
We need more Magnus and Pep - this was excellent!
Look for someone in your life who looks you the way Pep did to Magnus ❤
this is pure brilliance... literally and figuratively. thank you.
2 brilliant men right there. Could listen to them for hours
Pep's eyes legit went "damn this mfer ain't lyin" when he talked about the parallels between the two
Great interview! Loved every second of it. From a Norwegian Man United fan!
Wow.. Thanks City for that Video!
- Your huge fan from Georgia!
I believe I'm not the only one who keep smiling while watching the entire video.
Wow, two of my idols put together. Absolutely love it.
All my admiration to you both from Barcelona ❤ And thanks to Man City (and Puma) for bringing us this
Great interview by Gvardiol
Pep and Magnus both masterminds of their games. As a fan of both this was breathtaking
Even Pep was happy with the way Magnus explained chess
Absolutely splendid video, love them both had a smile the whole video while watching 😂
Fascinating.. and superb interviewer as well.
What a great video !! wow thanks Puma and Man city for this. Pep looking like he would get magnus on his team immediately if magnus played football lol
i did not expect this colab, as a chess fan and a city fan this makes me happy
Great video idea! Both are fascinating people in their own right but together!
I wasn't expecting this Magnus and Pep ,This is something that should be done more often,👍
Incredible work from the host here to direct this conversation between 2 absolute behemoth human beings
The chess goat meets the coach goat 👏👏
collaboration we didn't know we deserved, amazing insights from magnus and pep
Great video! Only thing missing was mentioning magnus’s crazy run on fantasy football.
You brought an amazing ideas but almost only 12 minutes is toooooo short! This two geniuses can give us a lot of insight.
