00:00Cheeky was the one who sort of calmed you down and everything. Do you think you're a
00:06different more laid-back
00:08Manager these days because you know we've seen the one you know the pep that was kicking the chair when they took the quick free
00:13kick which would suggest you still as
00:18Pumped up as ever do you are you a more laid-back character now than the one that first arrived a
00:24a
00:25Karma character, you know I was familiar quite the same, but of course I'm changing people change for the experiences
00:32It's not an exception
00:34but always whenever I like this because it's an emotional man when I move my arms on my
00:42No, I would say yeah, my arms and my hands in this way is because and it's because it's emotion and
00:49It's what it is when I was a football player
00:52And I see some clips it was quite similar so
00:55football must be living I think in that way respect the opponent's respect your absolutely players and so on but
01:02everyone is
01:03Who it is so cannot cannot be changed of that?
01:07Yeah, I know, but it is obviously a game of a tribal game an emotional game and one thing or another
01:13But you also do get people who get too emotionally involved and do calm down
01:20Have you always had been this this same person?
01:24No, I'm not so proud sometimes how we react honestly afterwards. I said what I've done this but why
01:30So I don't like it many many times especially I like when finish the game and go inside
01:35I sometimes go outside, but did I feel it in that moment sometimes is something and not even
01:40Realize you know when I don't like many many times, but it's what it is so
01:45I'm not perfect
01:46And I don't want to be and sometimes make mistakes and accept it and apologize and I do apologize is not a problem
01:52Is that one of the things that when it stops getting you like that?
01:54That's when you know who maybe it is time to step. Yeah, because it's not good. Yeah, of course of course
02:02but
02:03Yeah, it's who I am my mom and dad made me in that way, so what can I do?
02:07I
02:11Bet you've ticked an awful lot of boxes in the nine years that you've been a ticked a lot of boxes won the title
02:19double treble
02:21Centurion rivalry Liverpool four in a row is there anything else?
02:25Left that you feel there is still left to achieve at the club, and how do you how do you maintain that?
02:33I like my job. I said many times. I love what I do in terms of numbers or titles. I was done
02:39Yeah, I would say long time ago, so I didn't even ever expect when we arrived
02:43I don't speak him on behalf cheeky, but I think cheeky myself
02:48when you know when we arrive would never thought do it in the way we have done it in and and that but
02:54Still I like come here every morning to to work. I love it so
03:00Thinking walls and what the message I have to tell them the image. I have to see the trains
03:04They have to prepare still I like it, and this is the main reason
03:09Though I'm a manager when I don't feel this knows. I'm not leaving my city. I will not be manager
03:16I will not train, so that's for sure
03:19You probably are aware of this, but there is a debate in this country about who the the best Premier League manager has been
03:26My fans will say you my United fans
03:30Will say sir Alex Ferguson the longer you go on
03:34obviously the more
03:36The more compelling the evidence will become that you are you are the best that that's ever been
03:41But it does that does that motivate you at all tell that that legacy I don't know
03:47I want to be happy every day when I come I don't do it
03:49So of course we win titles give you the chance give you the chance
03:53Give you the chance to have job. It's only we give it to you, but it's not not the pleasure honestly, so in that country
03:59I'm a thing in all around the world so Alex Ferguson is the best
04:03for the time for the change teams and look the coming trophy, so
04:10Being close to that one of the most important managers all time is that it's none of more more than enough is incredible honor
04:17For me for all the staff all the system
04:20For all the staff all the system that had all the players I have for me is not it's not for me
04:24So when the people say pep is one of the best or that is for the players
04:27I had for them managers the system coaches
04:30We have all together we have many and all of them would create that sense that we are we are good
04:36And this is enough. I don't I don't fight for I like because I want to win balls desperately
04:43I want to prepare well, and I want to win it, but I live better and make my people happy our fans of course
04:48and our
04:50People who believe in you you know when you lose is
04:53I heard there's a new thing you disappoint the people who trust you who believe in you and that I don't like that feeling
04:58That's why I want to win to still be proud and enjoy
05:02You know the moments in the canteen in the training pitch and wherever the very best and this is only I'm concerned
05:08So I never you have to understand me never ever in my life. I could think for one second
05:14Got or achieve what we achieve together for many many years as a manager
05:19He's a full player even but as a manager impossible not even in my best dreams
05:24So I'm not anything to ask more right now know how to do this
05:29I want to win balls, but it is a process and after if I will live in our trophy. That's fine. Would you want it?
05:35Yeah, of course we want another Premier League
05:36It won't arrive in the last stage as the Champions League and try to win it again of course we want
05:41But I know the difficulty I know that many things is completely different when you never won and you won and
05:48I have to handle it and and that's why I still we're here
05:57Do you have a best manager you try and emulate is there a so we put on a pinnacle still sorry
06:02Is the best manager of all time do you still have someone that you're aiming for?
06:05Is this a name you still look up to no?
06:09No, and it's not a name absolutely not so what is what is that considered the best because you win more trophies than the other one
06:16It's a personal thing. It does a point. It was a perfectly for the United fans. I will be sir Alex absolutely fine
06:23So they say now it's my best club because I win title their clubs
06:27Are you never win and for the people is the best club in the world because they feel it they love it
06:31You know when the team Manchester City was in main road, and maybe they'll win that
06:34People love Man City unconditionally and they love that club. You don't need to to win trophies to you know to love one club
06:42So it's it's not
06:44The incredible managed either win because either have big clubs be higher kids big
06:49You know position that help you you know to win
06:54I'm not saying I'm about manager. Otherwise could not be here for a long time and being success but
06:59Believe me, it's not important. It's just to say Jocko Beach is better than an adult and feather a feather and then Jocko it so all three are
07:06Exceptional they make this a sport tennis sport
07:11What's their finance was one I can do in three four hours was
07:16Unbelievable every shot you have the heart like oh, it's going to explode
07:20They bring all of them limits for ones will be
07:23All of them the better is the same so my contender as a manager you can call make me better manager
07:28You're in your main better manager
07:30Michele after the now is making better managers. We need that so it's happened. I think to be the very best
07:36This is not I think honestly, it's not the point
07:40You mentioned it before when you said that you're a manager. I'm not a manager
07:44I'm not a manager. I'm not a manager. I'm not a manager. I'm not a manager
07:48I'm not a manager. I'm not a manager. I'm not a manager
07:51You mentioned it before when you don't enjoy management you'll step away completely from it obviously you've worked with cheeky for many years
07:58It's sporting director a role. You'd ever consider
08:00Pundit groundsman referee I will criticize my manager a lot I
08:04can't I
08:06Can't I like the grass honestly. I like the green
08:10there to be able to tight and I
08:13don't like
08:15Guys
08:17Pep you're up against them Gary O'Neill
08:20This weekend. He's one of only three English managers now in the Premier League
08:24Do you think we might see a situation one day with but there's no English managers in the Premier League and also?
08:30Does it would it matter anyway even if we didn't have any English managers the Premier League would carry on anyway? I hope not I
08:37understand completely that people won't related the
08:40UK
08:41National team being British and as much is normal and every country is the same
08:45Is the same you just want to advise us take the opportunity to learn like we learn of them. They can learn for the foreign
08:53German or
08:55Spanish or Catalan or Italian or whatever so that is life everyone learn for everyone so
09:02In London to leave just British people
09:05You know in New York to leave just American people there
09:10So there are millions millions of people then you know
09:13Abort to live there to contribute to the country getting better to make the businesses or live lives or whatever this is what about?
09:20This is what about we're even community for Laura and the world today before it was more difficult for the people could not fly
09:26but now it's not the
09:28Everyone is everyone and as much you are open is the culture is back and forth. It's not just
09:35you know and had opportunity to
09:38To learn or learn not just to see maybe I like and like it for the people from other countries
09:44That is the culture about that is make us better absolutely your travel to Germany or Qatar or now here
09:50I feel better
09:52You know as a person I feel better
09:54I'm more patient and more I understand the empathy understand your culture understand why you had done it is why you're doing that
10:01You know and I do what I feel and if the people like it you wanna live it's fine
10:06But what I like of course I would like to be British
10:09You know
10:11People in the league, it's normal. You know and I understand completely, but in the same time okay now. It's Thomas. Yeah, okay
10:18Why you should not support him? Why should not?
10:21Okay, he's the manager. Let's go you know and no Thomas. No win would be good
10:27Doesn't win will be criticized it doesn't matter happen everywhere, but once the Federation has decide
10:33me in my
10:36Side position I will support like I support Gareth so because I want a very best because just for the fact I
10:42Was living here almost one decade so simple I understand that but in terms of the Premier League
10:49Obviously you have quotas it for players so that we have homegrown players come through
10:55Do you think maybe that the managers now need some protection because you say there's more people travel and whatever
11:00There's probably less opportunities for English coaches. I just wondered if
11:04I would say I don't know the reason why because at the end of course the owners some of them is a
11:10Ticket then maybe appointment to me because he knew me for Barcelona right if a sport directors are British and the other one
11:16So I spoke with them my players. How is Lee Carsley for example? How is Gareth and they speak highly?
11:22They speak highly about them. It's really really good, so
11:26But the vision I don't know the reason why maybe you
11:31You can know it better than me, so I don't know
11:34Thank you guys. Thank you
