Thierry Henry talking about/with the people he truly respects is such a joy to watch, he is so genuine when that happens.
though pep didnt include him in barca's plan in 2009-10
Yeah TT is a class act
Yea. I like to watch Thiery, whatever he does. I support him.
@@GuinessOriginal it’s « Titi », not TT. This is a French nickname, not American.
Should i call you mista?Mista (pep)e jullien onzimha,thank you for coming today

🤣😂😂😭😭😭
Is that a Jojo reference
Was actually thinking about the same thing 😂😂😂
@@FATTMONSTERUganda Morning Breeze interview with LGB activist
Henry should have won the Balon D'or *AT LEAST* once. Probably twice
Yet there's no bitterness in him, only gratitude. He's the classiest man alive.
What about Etoo
2003 should have been either Henry or Maldini imo
My man has a world cup, euros, premier league, CL, la liga titles, think he's pretty content with his career
@@henihenryjr. he's talking about Henry not eto which ball eto played for him to deserve ballon d'or
Henry’s love for pep is showing all over his face. Man can’t love his love and respect for Pep anymore.
People thought Pep should adapt to the premier league, but IN FACT the premier league adapted to him.
Pep giving Xabi Alonso a shootout......true class
Best manager of all time. Yes, you can say he has always worked with top players but he somehow still manages to make them better!.
lmao best player's and Oil money. Sure buddy sure. Your right but its not worth mentioning
@@mmamultiverse75 keep crying XD
Pep has underachieved at oilchester they should have won the champions league every single year😂😂
@@markvarley2962 good point
Not the best, SAF is still better
Pep said in this clip in 2016 the Premier League is a different type of physicality. Now in 2023 his team is one of the tallest in the league with a back 4 of CB's, Stones and Rodri in the midfield and Haaland up front who they can play up to.
its about to adapt
@@nicaballe143 It's easy or faster should I say, to adapt when you have Man City type of money
@@kaimshaw4141 idk mam, united seem to have spent a lot of money without adapting
@@kaimshaw4141 take a look at their transfers this season and their performance. Use logic if you want to be taken seriously
Stones is underrated, ake improve a lot.
Pep’s humility is off the roof. He never blames his players in public no matter what.
Lies..he does..
@@henihenryjr. when?
@@aliffnaim9939 yaya toure and etoo
@@henihenryjr. Not true. He never blamed any of them publicly. Show evidence.
Thierry ruined a lot of my childhood, but I forgive him now.
At least he ruined with class, elegance and in style. That was fun times.
@@youtubearsivi9223 king henry, so proud that he played for my club❤
The whole conversation is about PEP having to adapt to the PL. Now 7 years later it’s the Premier League which has had to adapt to PEP. Everyone is playing out from the back, inverted wingers, CB into midfield. RESPECT PEP’s GENIUS
That's Total Football for you. Pep brought the concept worked by Michels and Cruyff an brought it to the most watched league in the world.
He made it his league
Can you guys imagine a better 5 year period than what Xavi and Iniesta had between 2008-2012? 2008: Won Euro with Spain 2009: Won Champions League with Barça 2010: Won World Cup with Spain 2011: Won Champions League with Barça 2012: Won Euro with Spain Like bro wtf? 🤯🤯🤯
and Puyol , Busquets, Pedrito, Pique...
@@kerolokerokerolo yeah, haha, but no. Busquets, Pique, and Pedro didn’t win the 2008 euro. Puyol missed the 2012 euro due to a knee injury. Xavi and Iniesta were that good!
@@diadiecisse3089being injured for a final doesn’t mean u didn’t win the trophy.. John terry for example missed UCL final against Bayern but 100% was a winner and captained the team to the final. I think maybe u should stick to golf or netball if u think an injury makes ur achievements void… that’s not how football works
And Averez may get all that in 0ne year. from Manchester city and Argentina.
@@alainettabesong2668 All that? A third of that, if anything.
Pep chooses each of his player, he picks good but also clever and super reliable players
Pep never misses to mention Messi 😂
timestamp pls
@@loopzz5526 around minute 12-14
That's because Pep made Messi as much as Messi made Pep.
@@loopzz552613 40
@@hiranom20 Pep created False 9 Messi. Messi could've still been a 35+ goals a season winger without Pep. But, Pep created the 50+ goals a season forward, that eventually went to become arguably the🐐.
Pep Guardiola is a top notch coach
cheers
The best!
Put him in a relegation battle to see what he's made of. He learned everything from Cruyff
@@Dub_Northside you're suggesting after creating the greatest team in history. He should go and manage Stoke. C'mon now, behave.
@@DC-zi6se Not at all. For anyone to say he changed football is talking pony. The man said himself he learned everything from Cruyff and the Ajax way. He's very humble and I have respect for him. I think what most people miss is his way of dealing with players egos. He has no problem making big decisions. Cancelo for example. He gives youth a chance. He knew when it was the right time to bring Foden in to the team progressively. He's doing the same with Palmer. All these attributes is exactly what Fergie did. I hate saying it but this current crop of players at City could go out and express themselves without a manager. They are a well drilled unit. Roy Keane used to say it at United. Sometimes the manager didn't have to give a team talk. It was drummed into them well before. The mentality was instilled in them. I just think Guardiolas man management is exceptional. It's not about new ways of playing because he learned from Cruyff.
Thierry Henry ❤❤
Craftsmanship or Passion. This guy is a craftsman, the mental complexity he loves is evident in his responses.
when his analogy is Chess . . Yeah, he's thinking ahead, layers of. Falsely humble? Doesn't seem so w Thierry. Too clever sometimes? a quote fr American football = 'Winning is everything, all that matters'
I can't be quiet. Pep Guardiola is the best coach ever seen in the World since I started watching Soccer in 2006. My congratulations.
If he wins champion league iwill salute him
Football, not soccer.
nice but when you get a chance go back and watch full clips of teams created out of nothing by Rinus Michels, Sir Matt Busby, Brian Clough, Sir Alex Ferguson, Arrigo Sacchi. What these managers have achieved is much more with limited resources and situations that were turbulent. Their achievements are greater than Pep's.
@@shahzadirani not really brother I put pep easily top 3 man he is like Messi he got that special thing in him. His Game IQ is insanely high and is on the road to make his second top 5 teams of all time 😪 his tiki taka with Barca was a genuine joy to watch 💯
We all know what interview starts with *"Should I call you mista?"* 😂😂
Are you gay?
YES!!!! Instantly looked for the comment. Y R U GEY
U ah geh!
W comment😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
The greatest coach of all time
And what about Pep?
Agreed
Klopp & Mourinho>>>
The best manager ever. Pep Guardiola.
you mean you don't understand his accent or his technical concepts
Although I don’t always hear every word clearly, I always get his message perfectly clear
not even top 5 managers of all time lol, ZERO UCLs without the help of the referees. But what he's done with City has been great.
@@shahzadiraniclassic clueless indian take 😭. Pep is at the very least top 3 all time best and soon enough he will occupy 1st place.
@@ToraAnbu lol classic delusional TikTok City / UEFALONA fan you must be. Sir Alex, Rinus Michels, Sacchi, Cruyff, Brian Clough, all greater than Pep for what they achieved with the limited resources and the difficult situations they were in with their respective teams.
Damn, that is the most teacher- student relatioship i've ever seen😅
best of all time this manager changed football for ever he is the most clever person in football
I think the most incredible thing about this interview is how we got to see through the eyes of Pep. It is quite surreal how objective he is(13th min). When he spoke to how the public defines pragmatism and how he does, it took me back. That at the end of the day it comes down to numbers, not a style of play. For me, he dissociated perceptions, feelings and emotion from the what he is expected to deliver. At the end of the day, its not playing a pleasing type of football, but rather being objective and always delivering results. Secondly, I love how he leads. In the 11th min he talks to how poor delivery of a tactic is the sole responsibility of the manager when players fail to execute them. Its honestly heartwarming how he is quite aware of himself and his team. I am an United fan, however, my heart is moved by this man's passion, understanding and intelligence. It goes above and beyond just football. I am truly inspired, personally and professionally. I am truly inspired, to be more productive by being more objective and less responsive to emotion (not to say I shouldn't live in my emotions, rather, that feelings dont deliver results). I am inspired to be more aware of the people I collaborate with for a common goal, to be aware of context and analyse situations and that, appropriate action will then be the intersection of the tools you have and what they can do best given that particular situation and context.
You spoke my Heart Sir and I honestly admire the fact that you relate perfectly to His Concept. I humbly also desire to put This Understanding to practical use as a Soccer player and produce desirable results for the Team I shall gain the opportunity to play for! More Bliss Sir!
So we'll said. Thank you! I agree.
This Guy is the Messi of Coaches!!! We are bless to have him in our Era. 🤌🙌🙇 Henry was Sensational through out his career!🙌🙏🙇
No, he is the ronaldo of coach
@@jamspaul7180🤣🤣🤣Messi is the 🐐 and Pep is the 🐐 manager. Ronaldo doesn’t come close
@@jamspaul7180 who is pep second to then?
Not a lot of people dare to say half of the things that said Henry to Pep. Respect for giving us such a great interview
It finally sunked into me what an extraordinary experience it must have been for Henry when Guardiola took over Barca.
Even as an Arsenal fan, I can only be full of admiration of Pep. He and Alex Ferguson are the greatest managers ever in this game. My hope is that he saw something magic in Arteta and passed it on!
Don’t forget Jose Mourinho he’s even more accomplished than pep
@@mohamedaa158 I've noticed that it's only the fans of certain clubs that Jose Mourinho has coached, that dislike Pep. Most players, ex-players and sports analysts talk about how Pep is the best. Most of them salivate about wanting to play under him. Why? because they see someone that will improve them and make them play beautiful football. But how many players have you seen hoping to be coached by Mourinho. Very few. Cos no one wants to play that negative football. Pep is levels above him.
@@oluofyoutube mourinho is a very good coach and a lot of his forner players love him. He's just hard to deal with as a person
and as a Man Utd fan myself, I really appreciate that you can show your appreciation for the EPL coaching greats. Wenger was a very good manager himself back when, although nowadays Pep's the one who's getting it done, whilst Klopp is searching his way back to the top and Arteta's hoping next season will be a champagne pop! Personally, I'm of course hoping Ten Hag hits the heights but let's see how this season concludes before all that!
@@mohamedaa158 how?
Peps mentality is extremly inspiring as a person and as coach. When he celebrates his happines very infectious.❤
Pep is a maverick in his profession. People argue he gets good players and the odd world class player like Messi and haaland but you can't tell me the likes of de bruyne, Silva, stones, Walker, rodri, foden, grealish have not blossomed under peps guidance and coaching. Pep is cutting edge and for me has the most defined and unique philosophy that impacts the teams he coaches when given time and of course money. Pep could surpass the great sir Alex if he decided to stay put for a while.
This is facts. That argument suggests that if Tuchel at Chelsea or Some manager at Man utd got the same players they be doing the same things but I dont see it.
Debruyne became the best top 3 midfielders of all time under pep.
@@trackshun no doubt, de bruyne is on another level.
@@raybp7512 couldn't agree more, plenty of managers have had hundreds of millions to spend in the top tier of football. Pep is so successful because some how through leadership he makes players buy into his philosophy without question or hesitation.
De bruyne is better then haaland
Love these two coneheads.😂
Pep is an amazing coach and has always been, he knows who to take into the team and who to cut off. When he let Sane go people thought he made a mistake and there was no lack. Recently he let Cancelo go and does anyone see a gap at the back of Man City. This man brought on Alvarez and now you can see how dependable the guy is. He has an eye for potential and he can nature it to bloom. Grelish now looks deadly, remember when we called him a mistake. . Legend!
This was in 2016 guys just to let you know
Would that be why it’s been posted on sky RETRO I wonder
thanks
As a Manchester United fan I admire the style of football pep has brought to the premiership. The only difference is at Barcelona he had far more better players who took football to a level never seen before and I doubt will ever be replicated. The man is a football genius.👊🏾👊🏾
The most genius coach in the history of football with the most genius striker the PL has ever seen.
Peter Crouch might have something to say about that
Pep is humble😊😊
Now he's got the prem in the palm of his hand
its such a great thing having to lecture us about the game and its philosophy by granting us with such an educative interview. thank you
WOW i can listen to him for hours. The passion when he talks is so mesmerizing and natural, he really LOVEs what he do! simply the best.
Pep a genius ❤
Beautiful team work and the power of believe 😊
Beauty to watch those 2 legends 2gether
One day I will have the pleasure to watch one of Pep's teams live and enjoy such a Legend.
I loved this interview. Thank you Pep and Thierry.🙏
Messi is always in pep's heart.. The way he slip tongue the best player ever meehh.. Messi has really made huge impact on Pep very deeply
Wonderful conversation. Love to see two barça legends having a deep chat about coaching.
YES, Pep we are here indeed to win I love everything about you.
The two main legends of the BPL
We all grateful to have you in the Football world Mr. PEP. Your impact and legacy well last forever.
I rate pep more than Alex Ferguson for real he’s a genius🤯
considering he bodied him twice in the UCL final, it’s a no brainer
@@ultraslanmc4619 My nan would do that with that Barca team come one. Dont mater if a cone was the manager that team would have won the CL.
@Yehezkel Alwiya the barca team in 2009 and 2011 that beat Ferguson literally had academy players as well. Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, Pique, Puyol, Valdes, Pedro. And Messi of course.
@Yehezkel Alwiya Haha, in those days the only guy with a billion dollar squad was Ferguson. That explain anything?
@@jscottyrolls2702exactly lol
The GOAT Manager and one of the most outstanding and incredible players the game has ever had. These two are super FANTASTIC🎉 Pep,one day I’ll sit under you to teach me smart coaching. You’ve done an amazing work in the football world. I admire and proud of you and what you’ve done,simply phenomenal. Pep the MASTER👑💪🏾
Hearing the baggies be mentioned in a conversation with these two legends warms my heart 😂
7 years later he has created the most dominant team I’ve ever seen in the premier league in this Era . Easy to always come back to Fergusons United but let’s be real the level of the game during that era is now way near what it is now very team has intention of European football and the levels of the game has changed completely the most Ferguson had to deal with was arsenal and Liverpool and then Chelsea after Mourinho . Make no mistake Man United spent money and dominated in the transfer market also
Sir Alex Ferguson re-built United from the ground up. They had not won a league title in 26 years. The money he later on spent was thanks to his own hard earned success of using youth academy players and putting in a scouting network in place. Pep inherited a billion dollar City and a smooth situation where City had a nice backroom staff and boardroom and some of the players already had won the league two years before Pep joined lol. Sir Alex dominated across 4 different decades and the quality of the teams he had to face in the 2000s was much stronger than what Pep has had to face nowadays (Sir Alex had to face Arsenal Chelsea Liverpool who would all reach UCL semi-finals and finals each year for 5 years running). Pep's only true challenge has been a tight budget Liverpool and a Europa League quality Arsenal squad. Pep has done 3 PL titles in a row now, which is great. But Sir Alex did 3 PL titles in a row on Two different occasions which is massive.
@@shahzadirani don't worry bro. If pep stays, he will do better than what fergie did
@@swatik2509 LOL we’ll see😂
Ahhh his passion ❤❤❤
You can tell Henry is a lil bit nervous.😂😂He's so careful that he doesn't pose a question that will piss Pep.He has so much respect for the genius😂😂.Someone will think it's one of the routine meetings gaffers have with individual players.😂😂
2 living legends talking to each other😊
Josep Guardiola Sala! One of our own 💙
Lol his a Barca legend player and coach his from our academy his tactics came from Barca as a player from croyf his teacher and he said it himself his team is Barca city is his job mate 😂
I am a red but l love watching pep and his teams.The man is superb humble and understands that football is an entertainment business. Wonderful guy.
He is a great, respect to each other. He create the teams good to watching, not only about number but it entertain also, exciting to watching every single his team playing the game. Good Sir Inspiring
We need another show with these guys
Quite simply the best ever. Ferguson couldn’t take a coaching session to save his life. Pep is a master coach, tactician, man manager and innovator. No one comes close.
Okay. Your opinion is the most important my lord.
Beautiful conversation
Wouchchchch,goodness, two Masters, the one in communication,the other coaching👏👏👏👍
Pep The Best Thank You
This man is a legend a myth what he dose is just super great 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Absolutely genius coach. No doubt.
so humble
theirry henry my favorite forever ❤❤❤
The best football coach of all time ❤
My favorite coach best in the world 🌎 congratulations 👏👏
Pep brings the magic out of his players....period.
Well done Henry for showing a lot of respect and for been humble to Pep.And Pep is equally a humble manager who believes in his kind of football,he was right Spanish football is the best in Europe that’s the clubs in Spain win more European cup than any other,but the Premier League is the most glamorous in the world and a lot of credit to the British for that too.They made football a top class of a Job!.❤👋👋👋
"Should I call you mister" He's Pep Guardiola not Pep Julian Onziema.
Thery Henry got love for Pep Guardiola,he praise him , love him, always wna be next to him, loving his players I wish he will in Pep's technical team one day 🙏🙏
Bruh the start of this interview is literally the "why are you gae?" interview...he's even called Pep! 🤣
That's #premier pep, Wat he's doing will b hard for some managers to achieve in the near future. His ball z so classic
Best manager ever
Imagine if PSG has pep as a coach with Messi, mbappe, and Neymar. Cause there current coach has no f ing clue what he’s currently doing with the tactics
He will definitely let Ney go...he has some extinct policies against party lovers..I can't see PEP coaching that odd club
2 GOATs
Greatest of all time🙌
Like him (Barça, man city, some bayern fans, and pretty much all of spain), or hate him ( all of the premier league man city aside, and real madrid), you can’t deny that he’s the best coach of all time in terms of beautiful and entertaining game, making superstars out of good players, and always being competitive.
lol from Spain You have to exclude capital (they hate him) and all nationalist (because of being catalan independendista)
French and Spanish accent😄😄😄 i love it
They look so much alike
Balds in brown. They should do a podcast
Pep is pure class
Whaou Pep is awsome about where is the problem if the players dont understand the message.. for him : it’s the coach problem ! That’s show how much the coach is the tool to bring to maturity the plan to concret on the field. And the players have to catch it by their brain, heart and feet. I think that is also important to Thierry to understand the problem of managing a team with a lot of talents and couldn’t be able to express the plan and the talent of Belgian’team at the World Cup. I think he wants to learn from Pep how he bring a team together under his football to reach the goal ❤
Crazy thing is pep is still underrated by many. people always rate saf or mourinho deservedly of course but pep is up there with them
Wonderful said
A huge part of this City side is winning the second ball and I find it very interesting that Pep says that this was the most surprising thing to him when he came to the Prem.
Pep is just a mastermind coach......I like his philosophy
what a genius!!❤
Pep in the past several years was fine tuning mcfc and the result is here . Mcfc is a fine tuned instrument that sounds beautiful it's a well tuned goal scoring machine. For how long we will see
Pep 💙
After M.Arteta I think TiTi should become asst.manager of City under Pep. So that he could develop his managerial skills n later after after Arteta he should be Arsenal’s next Manager.
"Don't ever lose *our* way." ~ Pep
The secret of Peps power is his inner belief that he is one of greatest ever football coaches (he leaves no stone unturned ) contrasted with his outer humbleness
I like when pep give his perspective on other leagues he has played for. More like he is sure
Humble guy too.. difficult to hate him. #Arsenal fan here
I love Pep ans his son Messi, Haaland, Alvarez, De Bruyne…❤
Good manager 👍 👏
I have to give credit to Johan for creating this way of playing, but what Pep has done for football is the future!
