Well Pep, a sad day for football and for City fans But it’s also a day to celebrate your incredible achievements over the last 10 years in Mcr You were probably even responsible for getting Oasis back together 🤣    Enjoy your rest and be proud of all you have achieved 🤝

🇵🇹 🧠 Bernardo on playing left-back against Arsenal… “In the beginning, his first idea was to play me at centre-back, and I actually trained at centre-back. Arsenal away, the one where I played left-back. “So Nathan was playing left-back, me and Ruben centre-backs, and when he called me to his office, I just thought, ‘Wow…’ He said, ‘Can you do it?’ And I said, ‘Yeah, I will try for sure. You know it’s not my natural position, but I will do it if you want me to do it.’ “Then we trained after one day and he said, ‘I think it’s better if we change, Nathan comes to the centre and you go left-back.’ Even then it probably seemed crazy to do that, especially in such a difficult game against Arsenal, who were top of the league at that time. “And we won that game and it was nice. It’s nice to have the trust of your manager to play in any position on the field.”

De la escuela del Manchester City llegó Sandy Steel a enseñar el fútbol del siglo XX en Barcelona. De la escuela del Barça llegó Pep Guardiola para enseñar el fútbol del siglo XXI en Mánchester.

I proposed the song to @craigmartin5 for whenever the time came. A joke of a video, absolutely incredible.

@acea_ngel Nadie piensa en el ser humano; la industria del espectáculo y la sociedad del rendimiento demandan esfuerzos imposibles y llevan al aficionado a aupar comportamientos antinaturales. Esta es la modernidad: el fútbol como picadora de carne, la nueva barbarie

La realidad de la que nadie habla pero está ahí …

En 1932 River Plate dispuso un interesante planteo para jugar dos finales (campeonato y competencia). Hicieron un 4-2-4, aunque desconocieran que se llamara así.

Il disastro delle scuole calcio. “Ma come possiamo oggi far crescere campioni in Italia se non sappiamo allenare i giovani? Voi andate a vedere come allenano i bambini adesso... Io ho portato mio nipote al calcio, me ne sono scappato subito! Allenamenti alle sei e mezza di sera! D’inverno! Mio nipote ha sette anni! Venti minuti di giri di campo, gli ostacoli, la corda... dopo un’ora che erano stanchi morti, gli hanno dato 10 minuti di pallone! Oh! Questo si chiama gioco del pallone! Quindi bisogna dare il pallone ai bambini! Abbiamo rovinato tutto! Tutto! Dovevamo creare calciatori con i super fisici, come le nazionali del nord che sono forti fisicamente... A noi sarebbe bastato continuare a giocare col pallone! Mio nipote l’ho portato a casa e non l’ho più fatto andare agli allenamenti! Pensate che i bambini pagano 350/400 euro all’anno per giocare a pallone... ma senza pallone! Ai miei tempi si giocava davvero a pallone ed era gratis!” Sandro Mazzola.

For a guy who won two Premier Leagues, two League Cups and an FA Cup at City to be asked to leave the club during his prime years must've really hurt Joe Hart but look at the openness with which he speaks about Pep. That's what he's achieved. Respect.

Bravo👏👏👏

Tal dia com avui ee 1954 Arieta, jugador de l’Atlètic Club, lesiona, a San Mamés, a Kubala. Trencament del lligaments i del menisc intern del genoll dret. Mai més tornaria a ser el jugador dels anys anteriors.

That’s Wednesday** 3 June!

Pep - what can I say? Where do I start? ✍️🩵 It’s difficult to truly describe the impact Pep has had - not only on Manchester City as a football club, but on everything around it as well. The trophies and achievements speak for themselves. But what made him special was always much bigger than winning. For me personally, he was never just a manager. He was a mentor, a leader and also a friend. From the very first day we worked together, he challenged me to see football differently. Every detail mattered. Every meter on the pitch had a purpose. There were moments when his intensity pushed all of us to our limits mentally and physically - but looking back, that obsession with perfection is exactly what made his teams so extraordinary. What many people don’t see from the outside is the human side of Pep. Beyond football, he is incredibly humble, thoughtful and someone who genuinely cares about the people around him. Over the years, I was lucky enough to experience that side of him very closely. He made me a better player, but also a better person. When I look back on my career one day, my time working with Pep will always be one of the defining chapters of my journey. ManCity without Pep will never be the same again. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me, my family, the football club, the community and Manchester as a whole. 🩵 Looking forward to seeing you at the game on Sunday! @PepTeam 🙏

It’s not about the records, Thomas, it’s the game. Only the game matters. This too can be said about the impact Luis Enrique has had

Come Together.

You destroyed football, Pep. We destroyed the Premier League, Pep.
