I’ve only seen Pep cry twice. He called me to tell me about Abidal. He couldn’t stop crying. He couldn’t talk
More than once, I heard players say ‘That bastard, he nailed it again!’. For example, at Wembley. Pep played the Wembley final before, on the chalkboard. If you closed your eyes and listened, you were already in the game. During Wembley final, I thought: I already saw this, I already heard this, Pep already said this…
In his last renewal, we had a discussion. He wanted to divide a part of his bonus on other people who have contributed (to the success of the team). I refused. I told him, we have bonuses, prizes and I felt we have been compensated well. The list was very long: not only almost of the entire staff, but also to the janitors, other employees and people of the Barça B. He gave them the money he earned from Banc de Sabadell.
Estiarte
This is what Manel Estiarte said about Pep, and for all those reasons I admire him deeply..and I reaffirm it, I will never admire anyone like I admire him. He is an incredible human being, of good feelings. He is an example, someone who inspires me to be a better person. Thank you for being who you are Pep Guardiola
