- I want to win.
I want to play serious.
I want to be effective.
Maybe because I am a Latin guy,
I need that,to be close to the guys.
- We had decided that he will be the next coach
of the first team of Barcelona.
And when I told him this he said that,
'You wouldn't have the balls.'
- He's a Spanish professional football coach,
former player, and current manager of Manchester City.
As a manager, he won 14 trophies in the first four years
of his managing career.
He's considered by players, managers, and commentators
to be one of the best managers in the world.
He's Pep Guardiola and here's my take
on his top 10 rules to success.
Rule number two is my personal favorite
and I'm curious to figure out which one you guys like
the best and as always if Pep says something
that really means something to you
please leave it in the comments below
and put quotes around it so other people
can be inspired as well.
Enjoy.
(opening theme music)
(dramatic music)
- Sophisticated.
- Magical.
- Intense.
- Motivator.
- Calculated.
- Genius.
- Evolutionary.
- Great coach.
- The perfect job.
- Excellent.
- Perfectionist.
- An obsessive.
- Passionate.
- Visionary.
- Pep, Pep is love.
- Talking of talented players
for any young viewers out there
who want to become a professional footballer,
what one bit of advice would you have for them?
- [Pep] They have to look inside
to themselves, if they have passion.
That's all.
If they have passion they can do it.
If they play just because it's always in TV
or it is to be famous,
you can go out with the beautiful girls
or win a lot of money, there is no chance.
Do it, do it and not just for the football.
Like I think about life.
If you like to do something
then you can spend a thousand million hours in that
because you love it.
All the professionals stay a long long time
playing every three days in important games
because they love the game.
If they don't love the game, they don't love training,
they can't stay for long.
- It seems to be that mangers from other countries come
and they are quickly addicted to the place.
Have you spoke to anybody on that behalf?
- They told me it's so hard, so tough,
and other people say Pep is not going to adapt
in that he's not cut in that way
so that's why I am here to try to do it.
The people have confidence it's going well
but some of them in Germany as well the people say
the way you play would not be possible here
in the Premier League so and I said to myself why not?
Why we don't travel there to try it?
And that's why.
It's a big challenge.
Not just for me but I am always in my teams,
I was able to boss the players
and it is going to happen here as well.
When that happens everything will be easy.
- You've said you are obsessive about build-up play.
In order to get results, would you sacrifice that at all?
- Impossible.
It's impossible.
Sacrifice for what, so you lose the game?
If you believe in that, you have to keep going.
So, when it's going to happen, when to use the goal keeper,
you're going to wrong pass
and you're going to receive a goal
and the people say why you doesn't hit ball,
no you have to insist on that
there is a why, why you miss that pass.
- So you wouldn't, what we call win ugly?
Play maybe not attractive if you're going to get a win.
- No no no no, I will win.
The people say no is it when you play the build-up
or you know, I want to win.
I want to play serious.
I want to be effective.
I don't do that to be I want to play build-up, no no.
I make a build-up to convince the players
that this is a consequence of positives and negatives.
If I believed and do that and it is not productive
for the team, I would not do that.
But I was a football player and manager
and always when I do that I would score a lot of goals
and concede few and that's why I believe in that.
- So it's attractive but with purpose.
- Of course, I want to win because
if not City's going to fire me.
- [Interviewer] If you were to win the trophy
again at Wembley, would you feel
you would have come full circle?
- Yeah, but never thought to play in Barcelona
when I was a boy, never thought to win Champions League,
never thought to become a coach,
but before to win a championship
and now to try to beat one of the best teams of the world
in this atmosphere in Wembley,
for us it's a dream come true.
- You say that or we read that you say that you
only really stay anywhere for three or four years.
Do you intend to build a legacy
or at least put the foundations...
- No, I came to learn.
- You've come to learn?
- Yeah, of course, that's why I move on.
I came to learn.
You know there will be still in Barcelona.
- What is the biggest challenge you face now?
What is at the top of your to-do list?
- Play good.
- [Woman] Play good?
- And after try to win one game
and after second one and after another one
but the first target is team spirit and play good
as much as possible and after, try to win one game,
and after the second one.
- Three years from now when you threaten to leave
and we have to tie you to a chair,
and we won't let you leave, we'll take your passport
off you,
what does success look like three years from now
for Manchester City?
- Yeah, you know for the people, for the media,
how many titles are you going to win?
Okay, you have success or not success.
That is pretty sure.
So, but at the end the title is amazing, you lift the title
and two days after the people say what's next?
I think the process is how I will be comfortable here
working with these guys.
At the end my life, it depends on that.
I will be happy when my relationship with them
and when we decide to play in that way,
it works or it doesn't works
and that is the end.
And I am pretty sure the club will fantastic
and the people working with are going to help me.
I'm pretty sure that's going to happen.
It happened in Barcelona, happened in Bayern Munich,
and it's going to happen here.
And of course, they're going to fight everyday
to win the titles and especially form the people
after the game, when we finish the game so,
'Oh, 90 minutes, it was not bad.
'I would have preferred to be here and not in the bar.'
That is a good sign, you know.
And after the relationship with the people.
I think maybe because I am a Latin guy,
I need to be close to the guys to have to say...
I'm going to kill you and five minutes to love each other.
I think I need that to be happy.
And I hope in three years that is going to happen.
- [Joan] We went to a restaurant in Barcelona
to talk personally.
We had decided that he would be the next coach
of the first team for Barcelona.
And when I told him this he said that,
'You wouldn't have the balls.'
You know because he comes from the first division
and at the same time he said,
'Remember, you know that with me as a coach
'you will win everything.'
And it happened.
(dramatic music)
(speaking foreign language)
We knew that it was was a very tough decision
but we are taking this decision with enthusiasm
and with the expectation that it will be a great decision.
The reality was much more better
than our expectations.
