Pep is a great manager who has coached some big teams in Europe and won a lot of trophies.
Pep is the best manager in the world. He’s always looking to help me get better and improve my game.
Pep’s arrival at City was the biggest factor in me coming here. Every player wants to works with him. If you ask any player, they would be happy to do so even if it was just for a few months.
Personally, I would like to face Barcelona in every game because it gives you so much motivation and you learn a lot from it. Pep Guardiola is a really important person in the history of their club. He has a winning mentality and that is fundamental.
Pep is highly intelligent.
It’s really amazing what Pep Guardiola has done at Man City.
Pep is not the best coach in the world. I prefer Mourinho. He is the No.1, because Mourinho is more transparent and more direct than Guardiola.
When I became a coach, I began to admire Pep Guardiola.
I told my doctor I get very tired when I go on a diet, so he gave me pep pills. Know what happened? I ate faster.
When Pep Guardiola accepted the Manchester City job, he would have asked himself one question about the club’s current squad: is this a team that can win me the Champions League?
I would like to praise all of my coaches, from Pep to the first I had as a kid, because all of them have helped make me who I am.
We’re a long way away from someone like Willie Pep winning a round without throwing a punch.
He was always brilliant, but when Pep Guardiola started to use him as a ‘false’ No. 9, he got even better. It’s impossible to be more of a footballer than Messi.
I obviously take a lot of pride in what I do on the football field, because that has the ability to influence a lot of people. That puts smiles on people’s faces. That gives people a pep in their step on Monday morning when they go back to work.
Pep Guardiola sees things before they happen, and that’s an advantage – a massive plus.
Pep is a super coach! He is excellent. He is the best at analysing an opponent and the concept of a game. I don’t know what impact he had on German football, but he left a mark on all of us at Bayern because of how he analysed and educated the players in each position and the way he taught us to play.
Bulking up for the Twilight films was one of the hardest things I’ve done… I had to give myself a lot of pep talks, as there was just so much gym time.
A man is free to go up as high as he can reach up to; but I, with all my style and pep, can’t get a man my equal because a girl is always judged by her mother.
In the Champions League I’m no expert. Pep is the expert, he’s won it twice as a manager.
Pep and his staff work very hard, not just on the training pitch but also with the analysis of opponents, and now, of course, we understand more how he wants to play.
If you walk into the room, and you’re smiling and have a pep in your step, people are going to be drawn to you. If you walk into a room and you’re sad and you look insecure, it’s bad energy.
An internship with Pep Guardiola would be a huge present.
Spain started to generate a very good playing style from Pep Guardiola’s arrival at Barcelona.
I never lost a game against Bayern Munich until Pep Guardiola arrived. He made them better.
For me as a young player, it’s great to have had a coach like Pep Guardiola and have coaches like Carlo Ancelotti and Jogi Low, because you get different impressions.
Talking about Pep is hard, he is just a genius. He tries to change things when we need to and it works. He is something else.
Pep Guardiola tactically brings a gift that is second to none in the world.
For me, it’s been a treat to interact with authors who were publishing when I was a young reader. Judy Blume once gave me a pep talk at a writing conference. I had a short story featured in the same anthology as Beverly Cleary. Magic.
I never liked pep rallies. I found school spirit hard to deal with. I am much more oriented towards the individual.
The battle for freedom and liberty really never is over, and there are really low points in it, but I’m not giving up, and I’m not gonna engage in phony pep talks, either.
Pep Guardiola sees things before they happen, and that’s an advantage – a massive plus.
Playing for Pep has certainly lived up to the expectations. I knew him from the Bundesliga and saw him coaching Barcelona when everyone saw an excellent manager who is able to get players to improve. He is a great personality and a very nice guy.
Pep has the magic touch. He breathes football.
My friend and I sang an a cappella rendition of Extreme’s ‘More Than Words’ at one of our football pep rallies in a desperate attempt to look cool. For a while, I wore pink Converse All Stars because I thought it made me seem daring and irreverent.
I experienced how Pep Guardiola worked every day. He had football on his mind round the clock: ‘What system does the opponent like to play? How do I want to set up my team, who do I want in which position?’
I am a reserved guy and need somebody to pep me up every day, Upsi does that job perfectly. She is very vivacious and outspoken, so we blend very well. We both love travelling, and we have a thing for adventure. We love being outdoors and like to ride our own boat rather than being rowed by someone else.
I finish the game, and sometimes I don’t play very well, and my grandmother calls up to ask why I haven’t played well. Instead of being criticised by Pep, it’s my grandmother!
