I grew a lot with Pep as a player and learnt a great deal from him. Some managers are superb tacticians, but Pep would also describe the moves you had to make on the pitch and what would happen then. And it did!" (Lionel Messi) “He is a genius who reads the game and covers every situation imaginable. He is always showing us how to create space and find solutions and there is no manager like him, which makes him probably the best in the world." (Ilkay Gündoğan) “There is one thing you can be sure of — he wants to dominate. People associate his teams with the number of goals they score but his teams also don’t concede a lot. He always wants to be on the front foot, having the ball, possession, and he wants to dominate." (Thierry Henry) “I have learned a lot from Pep. He’s a genius. I can learn more from him in an hour than from others in one year. He not only lifts you to the next level on the pitch, but also in your mind. He has revealed totally new options to me. I did not know that was possible when I got to Munich. He found a new position for me." (Douglas Costa) “He is an incredible coach on a completely different level in terms of tactics. He really helps players develop and he even helped me improve at the age of 30." (Phillip Lahm) For the ones we lived Guardiola's four years at Barcelona becomes a beautiful collectiok of memories.

What I didn't expect was to find an entertaining, well-written account of Guardiola's career, from star player to the prodigal son returning to lead Barcelona to unprecedented glory.
