00:00 Hi, Juanma. You said last week that Pep not only knows exactly what he's going to do,

00:07 but who he's going to do that with. Can you explain that? Can you expand on that a little?

00:12 Give us some examples.

00:15 It's really important to take into account who are the players you have at your disposal,

00:22 not what each player should do, not only what each player should do. If we don't look at

00:27 and take into advantage the things that people can do, the missions might be similar but

00:34 with different players. Pep always has in mind the name of each player. You can't ask

00:42 two players to do the same thing. In terms of the global way that we play, what he does

00:50 is look at the different individual characteristics. He looks at the interaction of how the players

00:58 mix and play with each other on the pitch. He always thinks about the person and the

01:05 type of player that that player is.

01:08 Do you think that's something that we don't appreciate about the best managers in the

01:14 world? Do you know what happens? When you don't give a specific name to the player,

01:22 if you talk about a left-sided full-back, yes, but what type of left-sided full-back

01:27 are we talking about? They're not all the same, these full-backs. They're different.

01:33 So to take each person as an individual is very, very important. In terms of the players

01:40 that come into the side, particularly Kovacic and Nunes in the middle of the field, it's

01:46 obvious that they bring this quality of being able to attack and also dribble with the ball.

01:53 And it's perhaps something that the team didn't have in the past. How important is it to bring

01:59 something new to the team after having won so much in the last season? Each person has

02:05 their own individual qualities and one of those of both those players is that. And then

02:11 after that, when you look at it in this context, the development that they have in terms of

02:16 developing play, they also add other types of qualities. So I think both are going to

02:23 be... One is already playing for us and the other one will come to us. I think they're

02:27 going to represent a great deal for the team.

02:29 Hi Juan, great to see you again. You said a few months ago in the Athletic that you

02:38 feel like a father that's kind of upset because of a method of playing football. Why did you

02:47 say that? Or that you missed out on something? Because trying to respect each person as they

02:58 are and the way that we were just speaking now, we sometimes uniform the way that you

03:03 train up to the point where if somebody trains today in whatever country and whatever part

03:10 of the world with a different cultural context, they will end up training in the same way

03:14 as here. So everything has kind of gone in that way of playing two touch. You just play

03:25 two touch and in two touch you have to play whatever passage of play, two touch. Sometimes

03:31 you have to play three and sometimes you have to play five and sometimes you have to play

03:34 first time. So I think it's... If you want to exaggerate a certain concept, it's to the

03:43 detriment of the surroundings and the nature that surrounds that player or that club. So

03:50 I don't feel very happy that I wasn't able to do that. How do you maintain the creativity

03:55 when you have that uniformity in terms of training? That's it. If you end up putting

04:00 everyone in the same box, they'll be so similar to each other so you won't have those curious

04:07 differences in the players. So I think it's an educational process that you go through.

04:12 We always go through it. It's not just football. I think it's in every walk of life. We have

04:17 people that achieve missions but perhaps they don't have the initiative. You say that

04:22 they don't have the initiative.

04:26 You said with Carl Palmer it's very difficult to deny a player when he wants to leave. Is

04:33 this the case at Manchester City for every single player? If they want to do something

04:38 different, a new challenge, then they would be allowed to leave?

04:46 The concept has always shown this in terms of what the player wants. But then it needs

04:51 to fit in with what the club wants, the management. And there we don't get involved in that.

04:58 If it doesn't fit with the club, then obviously it won't happen. We don't get involved in

05:02 that. But in terms of that concept of what the player wants and the willingness of a

05:05 player, it's difficult to say that they want to go. But the club gets involved in whether

05:11 it works for the club or not. I can only say that the club is managing the young players

05:20 really well. That's all I can say on the matter.

05:23 Obviously the young players want to play. Do you think younger players are impatient

05:29 at the moment and need to be able to wait for their time to break into a first team?

05:36 And how difficult is it as a coach to be able to get them into the first team at the right

05:41 time?

05:49 I think we are in a period now, not just in football, where we want things quickly. We

06:00 want them quickly. I'm not saying that this is the case with Colpalma. But I'm talking

06:05 in a general sense. We're in this period, in a time where sometimes we don't know where

06:11 we want to go, but we know we want to get there quick. People ask us, 'Where are you

06:16 going?' and you say, 'I don't know, but I want to go quickly.' But I'm not talking

06:24 about this particular case. But yes, it's something in the background, it's the social

06:28 make-up. And I think football is not an island, it's a continent. And that's within everything.

06:36 So we're not going to separate ourselves from that, we're not going to be so far away from

06:44 that. But I like to repeat and reiterate that this is not the case. Each person has to...

06:49 he understands that this is his moment and I respect it. I respect it completely, what

06:53 Col has done.

06:54 But given the quality of players that the club are producing at the moment, how difficult

07:00 is it for Pep and the coaching staff to be able to get them into the first team? Because

07:05 clearly other clubs are willing to pay a lot of money for them.

07:14 Each player is different in the process. You can't establish a middle ground. Some develop

07:21 quickly, some uncover their talent a little bit later. So I think the club creates a really

07:28 lovely atmosphere and obviously that comes from the manager at the top and I think that's

07:33 the path that we need to take.

07:38 With Col going and with James McAtee going, does it feel as a group that the group is

07:45 big enough for all competitions this season?

07:50 Look, if you know that nobody is going to get injured, we've got more than enough. As

08:00 we don't know how things are going to happen, we don't know. But initially we're looking

08:06 good but then we go back to the same thing that we've been talking about. We have the

08:11 EDS, we always look at the EDS, we always look below. That also helps us to be able

08:17 to bring other players in to have their place in the side. So this is remove and to completely

08:24 be regenerating that team.

08:28 Oscar Bob is with the squad. Do you expect that a couple of other players from the EDS

08:33 will move up quite quickly or what's the plan?

08:41 Right now, the best that we have from those plays, America, that we were saying, and that's…

08:50 you can see the ones that are coming through. Then it depends on them, the capacity they

08:55 have to knock on the door and ask for their place and to say, 'I deserve to be here'.

09:01 That's a question of time also.

09:04 What do you like about Oscar Bob, what you've seen from him until now? Does the Cole Palmer

09:12 transfer change anything for him?

09:16 Numerically, it does, of course. That's what your colleague just spoke about. Oscar, I've

09:27 known him from my previous period here, since then. He was a player that really stood out,

09:34 but it happens with a lot of other players as well. Cole as well is a fantastic, Makati

09:39 is a wonderful player as well, many, many players. But he has some very particular conditions

09:46 that are valued by Pep, by the club, and valued by us. If not, he wouldn't be here. I'm

09:53 telling you truly that that's something that we value a lot. But we have to let him

09:59 go through the process, but he has great conditions.

10:04 Just last one for me. Jack Relish has described Erling Haaland as the best professional he

10:09 ever met. What kind of details of Haaland's actions here in the training pitch and outside

10:16 is that you appreciate?

10:18 It's a great question for Jack, because he needs to justify that. But now Erling is not

10:29 just Erling, not just him. I think we have a group of professional players that show

10:40 those little details that they live for the profession. Right now, just to talk about

10:49 Erling wouldn't be fair, but Erling is one of them who knows how he needs to live this

10:58 profession and it's a joy to watch him every day. But he's not the only. I enjoy watching

11:03 many of them, to not say all of them.

11:07 Can you tell us the qualities that you expect Nunes to bring to the squad? I know he's not

11:12 signed yet, but by the time we go to press, hopefully he will be. Can you just describe

11:17 what you like about him, what Pep likes about him as a player?

11:27 I think Pep has already made reference to Mateos a while back. It surprised us when

11:34 we played against Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League. He surprised us. But in that game

11:41 it was 5-0, but everything happened very quick in that game, it wasn't a real scoreline.

11:46 I think he carried on playing throughout that game, showing a personality and a will to

11:52 play. He was doing things very well and also that hard work that he put in. He has that

11:59 understanding of the collective team. That kind of put us on guard and we thought, this

12:07 player? We started looking at him and having an objective to follow him. So it's not a

12:15 surprise for us, he's going to offer us many, many things in the future.

12:22 Thanks a lot.

12:36 Thanks.

12:46 Thanks.
