im a liverpool fan but this is genuinely one of the best interviews ive ever seen. Pep is actually elite, the passion in that man. Insane
As a City fan I must say the same about Jurgen... yeah we have our back and forths but its because of the passion
Wenger vs SAF
Pep vs Klopp
I wonder whether Spu*s and Chelski will have such rivalry with others 😂
@@Shreyy17 Chelshit *
@@mcfcDJ51 I don't how he got that liverpool team to challenge city. Elite coach
@@mcfcDJ51 tbf pep in undoubtedly better than klopp historically but klopp on his day with lfc he can win comfortably against pep's man city and klopp is better transfer wise, he literally has every transfer nailed on 💯 excluding naby keita pep has had so much ups and downs in transfer, like mendy for like 50mil he gets injured for 3 years but he buys dias for an example he is excellent
This is genuinely one of the best interviews I've ever seen. Pep's so much more candid with actual footballing people. Rio is brilliant at extracting information out of him. Pep's passion is contagious, seems like he is in his own little world when he speaks with maps and diagrams in his head.
OH MAN what a great way to put it! I was thinking the exact same thing when I was watching this too. The way he sees the pitch out in front of him and uses his little gestures to move pieces and parts around is so interesting to see from an outside perspective.
I really wanted to hate Rio as a Manchester City fan but his interviewing skills are excellent. I get the impression he wishes he had been managed by him during his career at times. Can feel genuine interest.
He is a January born Capricorn, tough to beat
@@andylovesbacon1297 Gary Neville is amazing as well.
@@amacurohell no not him.
I notice one thing in most Pep interviews, is that he knows how small the margins are for success. That's why he never takes his past success too seriously & is always grounded. He knows even after going 10 years without a UCL final, there were many tiny margins that stood between his teams reaching the final & going out in the semis & quarters. Love his attitude towards these gigantic games (UCL finals). He tries to play them down & makes it look like a normal evening for him. The fact that people demand him to reach a UCL final every year shows what a great manager he is.
Only manager in history to be called a failure for not winning the champions league
I agree, though spending ten times more than klopp almost 1bn net spend he should have won it by now. Bit embarrassing they are only able to do it in a asterisk season with no fans. Course that suits them they're used to it at the emptihad
@@vtrico10 "emptihad"? Omg never heard that joke before
Well said 👏
...like last year vs Lyon: he was more focused on winning the tactics battle than on winning, by whatever means. and he messed up. that was on him
Pep's way of explaining things is music to ears. Rio is a gem in interviewing. Makes the interviewee comfortable. Also, the way he's described Phil, I hope Phil is THE BIG THING in English football, unlike the overrated bunch we've seen pop up in the last decade.
yeah like deluded united fans always hyping up and overrating their own english players to just become flops.. phil foden is pure world class player at such a young age, and i actually admire the lad he is something special and will be one of englands greats
Show some respect for the best team in the world
@@ryse12321 such as who??
Like wilshere
@@ryse12321 Those players haven't been managed properly and playing more than they've fought. Even believing in their own hype. Ole should take notes of how Pep manages Foden.
The way city management backs Pep.Pep and City are match made in heaven.
The club management at City always backed their managers (Mancini, Pellegrini and now Pep)... because they know that success needs time and effort
@@viverepericoloso7627 Something Roman will never know
@@YourExecellency The Russian dude buys players like me buying a T-shirt and loan 'em to get better cash while City is more focused on developing the team and think about the next step and focus on their weakness to make it better everytime
@@YourExecellency Happy to hear it from a rival. I hope we win The UCL and not make london noisey
@@YourExecellency Bad bella
From Pep managing his tactics in the 2009 and 2011 CL Final on breaking down Rio and his defence to sitting with him 10 years later having a chat
I remember watching that game . Time flies
That 2011 final broke my heart man, nothing I can do but applaud a person like pep. Love listening to him.
Man City having Pep is basically like when we Man United fans had Fergie. We could win or lose, but we went every match without fear because we knew we could smash any team.
Now every team can smash united 😂
@@TheGhost668 How time has changed. Lol
@@TheGhost668 same with barca having pep
Vs barca now loll
Man it's sad to see as a barca fan
@@TheGhost668 pretty sure your team finished below United if don't support city,. which will change next szn
Nowhere near right now
He loves the passing game, but the problem is N'golo kante love that kind of gameplay, NG lives to intercept and breakdown gameplay.
haha so true
So spot on!
Considering how much haters he has, he's such a likeable guy. Find it hard for anyone to actually sit and listen to him talk like this, and still despise him.
Right. I dont get it. Hes so good
He has haters because they know he is the best. Most are from Liverpool and United fans.
Klopp = Flop
Just ask some United fans if they would like pep as their manager .
@@21DMN and real fans
He just breakdown the Chelsea tactics.. man I'm scared now.
Lol I noticed that too. Managed to do that with just few sentences.
That is why he allow Chelsea to win against him twice he did it for experiment
Bro I'm here saying this guy just told us Chelsea's whole tactics tf😭😭😭
My friend, football analysts have been doing that since tuchel turn the season around for us. Saturday's match is not about tactics, it going to be about who wants it more.
Bruhhhhhh!!! Mans just broke down Chelsea tactics to bits.😂
Should be an interesting watch on Saturday 🤝
Everything he says is like music. They should try get young English coaches to go shadow him, our youth could learn the pep way of thinking
They said he wouldn’t be able to do it in the prem
My manager needs to go back and finish his apprenticeship with the man….
Very well said
Xavi hernadez will be next
If the youth grew up with the wisdom of pep there’d be world peace 😂
Whilst I am a Liverpool fan, I completely admire how intelligent Pep is! He kinda just seems like he is in his one little world when he speaks!
Who cares if ur a liverpool fan.ur just embarrassing yourself exposing that
He's gonna overthink it and absolutely get wrecked in that final
@The Chosen One yes Reuben
@@user-uj1pn3dx2f Embarassing is losing a European Final to a town of 50,000 people lmaoooo
@@madtitan-bringerofgenocide I’m Ruben
Since his Barcelona days, I've always admired him so much. He's had a lot ups and a lot of downs, but his philosophy, and his football mind is so consistent and constant. Never wavers when things go bad. Tweak here and there and moves on to further successes. Really hoping he can lift that big eared trophy come Saturday. Will be a tough match.
with that money
Twice!!! Twice!!!! TWICE¡!!!!!!!!

Wow his passion is contagious
Of course it’s his first chance to win it with city
I like Pep, almost as much as I love Bielsa, almost.
The man's a genius, he seems genuinely happy to be managing in England with Man City, and the club love him right back.
Just like Bielsa, Pep is a genuine credit to the premier league.
Bielsa is one of the teachers that made pep as good as he is to
@@Will-jp8kk Aged well with his stinker this season
Brilliant interview. Pep seems so passionate about his job it's almost like hes in his own little world when hes going on about it
Take the ball, pass the ball again, this particular line defines Pep Guardiola the legend, the mastermind behind the greatest club football team of all time ❤
Cruyffian philosophy.
There's a documentary with that title about his Barcelona team; take the ball pass the ball
Yhh Barcelona not city lol

Wow what an insight to Phil foden Pep. What a manager 💙
wow ... this man is a true master at explaining and understanding the way football works not only on but off the pitch.... explaining to Rio the affect that constant change has on a club (including change of manager) was amazing... he knows his time at City isnt going to last but he knows how to make it worth while... IF there was no SAF he would be the greatest manager of all time bar none
If Pep goes and conquers another league in the same fashion or brings Barca back to their best I think he will go down as the greatest
@@mattwagganer4967 He can go on be the greatest at city only. There is no need for him to go anywhere.
@@deepakpandey8240 he is the greatest at city already no debate

@@alone2break best board itw, best owners, they know what they’re doing, glory is already here, won prem 3 times in 4 years, winning trophies is glory

I'm getting tired of all people saying that he
should've played a cdm. First match, he played
Rodri and lost the match. Second match, he
played Rodri with Fernandinho. Guess what, he
lost. What he is trying to say he doesn't have an
actual lineup to counter Tuchel's lineup. This
happened in the past when he didn't have a
counter for Liverpool's front three in the past.
Respect the mans judgement because he is
so much accomplished then regular folks in

Never seen an interview this passionate and exciting
This man is absolute Genius.

1-0
@@silloweet i didn't want man City to win anyway. United fan myself so 😂
Rio iam city fan but your interviews second to None. Well done. Congrats genius pep
Misplaced confidence. Sometimes the games are so close. City were lucky Werner can’t shoot or it’d have been 3-0
facts tammy would of finished those chances
What? Where did he even show *any* confidence?
@@madaxwayne He would have but it’s not all about that. Werner offers everything bar finishing atm. I think we need an upgrade but overall he offers more than Tammy. Look at his assist. (Tammy’s goals are cup so not big comp)
@@cosmicbubble12 dont get me wrong i love werner but he needs to improve his composure and of course learn the offside rule as well
@@madaxwayne without Werner, we would never have those chances. Werner could do literally everything except for shooting. His run really had the attention from both Dias and Walker, so that Mason had enough space and time to make the pass and Kai avoid 1v1 with Dias
As a Chelsea fan and after the final still a great manager and a great man
Yh but he's overrated by fans
@@humbleyourself1464 he's not overrated lmao
One of the best professional interviews.
As a city fan there is nothing better than seeing the best manager in the world speaking with such passion and joy about your club, his club
CHELSEA CHELSEA CHELSEA
In the future there will be research on this guy. He has changed football completely
Bielsa taught him so really Bielsa changed football and his apprentice brought it to the foreground.
@@OLMOT-xp3mu not really, he didn't teach him much, he was not with biesla for a very long time. Not to forget if biesla was really that great People would take him for the big job instead of biesla. Cruyff was more important in his career
@@jasondeb2678 Bielsa doesn’t take big jobs because he likes to make and develop teams rather than walk into the big six and win the league. He could have gone to Barcelona a few seasons ago but didn’t go because that’s not a team he developed himself. That’s why he chose Leeds. A team with not the greatest players in the world but a team with potential and owners that will allow him to do what he wants to do. Pep also literally credits Bielsa for all his achievements and said he’s the best coach.
@@OLMOT-xp3mu OR MAY be he is not cut for the pressure game at the top. u can being at the top is harder than going there?

I finished this interview and started it all over again that's how much pep sounds like music to my ears🤗
@Mr wonderful ! so because they lost UCL should I take back my words? nxha this is football u win some u lose some
Pep already knows that Chelsea's players will push them here and there and Werner just did that at the Moment of goal, just drag Ruben Diaz in left side and makes space for Kai Havrtz.
Happy for Chelsea.💙💙💙

Even though I'm a Chelsea fan, I've always admired Pep, even after the 2009 UCL semis drama.
He redefined the whole game and brought the glory to City which they couldn't have thought of in their wildest dream.
Looking forward to a great match 🥂
He is just a wonderful manager. So articulate, thoughtful and patient and great credit to Rio who is becoming a fine interviewer.
Some rival fans do hate Pep, which is inevitable given his success, but I’ve never heard Guardiola disrespect or criticise any rival - whether manager or club and he is unfailingly polite. He improves every player at his club, I can’t praise him highly enough.

@@andylovesbacon1297 well he did face prime Madrid/Ronaldo in 2014, a very good barça team in 2015 but without Ribery or Robben and nearly came back from a 3-0 loss in the first leg because his team was chasing the away goal and then lost to athletico on away goals all 3 times in the semifinals. Wasn’t too bad in the CL but he just needed that extra luck especially against athletico, unlucky to lose to away goals. If he stayed at Bayern I feel like he could have atleast made it to one champions league final with Bayern. That’s kinda what I think about his time at Bayern
@@andylovesbacon1297 He did some mistakes in the semi-finals against Athletico Madrid and Real but... the kind of football was very special and new for us.

Excellent interview, Pep has no 'heir's and graces', just very grounded and very honest, great manager, as a City fan I feel so lucky to be around to enjoy this period in our history!
Humble, that is part of his charm.
Its clear that Pep and Mourinho are certified winners as they want to win every competition they are in. Many managers discount the cups but not them
God favors the humble and good humans...that is why pep is where he is and Jose is knocking doors every 6 months..so no comparison between two
Man said Jose 😂 Jose was one of the best managers but his tactics gone stale and his ego has only risen. I’d take Klopp or Conte over Jose any day.

Sweet interview
His use of the English language is so direct and honest. Love that
Guardiola is a legend!
The difference between Pep, Klopp and Ole is amazing. Two managers with proper philosophys an knowledge of the game and the other is a Pe teacher.
I don’t Olé fit in those 2 managers. The guy is terrible but Man Utd fans don’t see that 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️. His not suited Utd. Man Utd needs someone like conte or zidan who will brings the best out Pogba, rashford and good players in Utd
Ole have been in man United since Mourinho left Mourinho won 3 trophies 2 seasons ole is now in his 4th season and he hasn't won anything and man United keep spending more than any other team in English football Chelsea was banned from signing players for 2 seasons with their young academy players they beat United in fa cup semi finals

Brilliant interview! Real insight
I have no words for the love and hate I have for Pep.
