I like how Henry still calls Pep "Boss". Very respectful chat between these 2 gentlemen.
He calls all managers boss, thats a casual thing a lot of people do
Boss or mister
@@xB0505 i call the guy at the chippy boss. I feel it’s a similar level of respect there.
All ex players call there bosses that
Pep stripped Thiery to his soul and showed him his flaws to build him back correctly, it takes a special man and character to achieve that with a character like Theiry and Thiery maintains that recognition and respect of that character more so after...
Men
The respect these two have for each other you can see in their eyes

@@justiceoforiszn5390 Nice try kid 🤣🤣🤣
Don't victimize yourself
If you're old enough to remember what Henry was like in his prime, you’ll be very shocked at how humble he comes across every time. The man is definitely in the top 10 best forwards of all time imo.
Best Premier League player ever in my opinion
PL king
yes, i fall in love with football because of him, he was the best player in the world around 2003-2005 imo
He was just like Kobe. A bad mo fo
@@superstrongr what?
If this interview was 10,000 hours long, I'd watch every second.
Me too!
People should have some self respect. These comments here are creepy. These are just two people talking about (yes, to some very interesting) things. They're not super humans, I value my neighbor more than someone I only know from interviews.
same😅
@@vincentpeeters1157 I personally value these two very highly as I’m a football coach, I would listen to these two for hours
@@Jumka understandable
Henry just exudes class. The respect he has for pep, and the clear reciprocation from pep to him is just wonderful to watch here. Two greats of the game discussing football, what’s not to like?
yeah hes a class CHEAT. never forget hes a CHEAT, but yeah he conducts himself well now his CHEATING days are over
Just imagine how insane that Barça team was. Messi considered the absolute star, Eto'o scoring most goals and Henry as good as he was being the "third player".
@@n.p.d You sound autistic, just letting you know. If you want to sound autistic or not it’s your decision. I’m just informing you.
@@n.p.done handball and you disregard his whole career. You’re a joke. Do you call Maradona a cheat? No, you don’t. How about Ronaldo who has dived more times that an Olympian? You don’t call him a cheater.
@@TubaTones Suarez as well
Pep really only opens up when he is talking to other football professionals who truly understands. Typical press interviews annoys him.
I don’t blame him, half the press questions are stupid and repetitive.
Spot on
Lol I’ve noticed this too, the press just ask silly repetitive questions everytime.
It’s not because they want to ask dumb questions, most clubs won’t let them come back if they ask real questions. They ask softball questions
💯
As a Barca fan I remember many of us thought Henry would be a flop after the first season he had with us, but Pep came and changed the entire team, including him and we won the historic sextuple. Will always remember and respect Thierry for his performances with us that season
He did score 19 goals in his first season, Barca top scorer that year. He was dealing with a divorce which is not easy for anyone.
His performance in the El Classico that season 🔥🔥🔥
He played on infiltrarions too, injured all season but had to sacrifice. @@nascimentoarantes
Henry was great in Barça
I thought he was great there
I think for sure, he is the greatest tactician when it comes to managing football. He has revolutionized the game just as Michels, Sacchi and Cruijff once did.
Who tf is Cruiff 😂😂😂😂😂
@@user-dr2ww2jg8o lol. Johan Cruyff
jack reynolds
@@user-dr2ww2jg8o Johan Cruyff was one of the best players and most influential managers of all time. He won 3 European Cups with Ajax at a row, went to a world cup final with the Netherlands, was a Barcelona legend who stopped for the first time in 20 years Real Madrids domination, won the ballon D'Or 3 times in a row, became then a coach and rebuilt FC Barcelona which became a powerhouse. He reformed La Macia where players had then the opportunity to play based on talent instead of height(which made it possible for Pep Guardiola, Xavi, Iniesta and Messi to get accepted), won them their first champions league in history. Without Cruyff, there wouldn't be the Barcelona we knew during the 2000's and early 2010s.
@@vassilyvodka2638
Thanks for your post above. I felt a compulsion to reply exactly what you did, so it saves me the energy and effort. Anyone who trolls with such a question as as
'who is Cryuff?' is an infant who doesn't know his place is back in the play-pen with 5yr olds and certainly not pronouncing the great man's name. I had the opportunity to watch in wonder Johan Cruyff the player and then in even greater wonder observe how he organised play as a manager through his very young midfielder Pep. It felt like there was telepathy occurring between the two. The way Pep organised the team's attack was the thing of beauty, quite apart from them scoring goals. For me football isn't about scoring goals, it is rather how and what you achieve beforehand. Cryuff did that as a player, then through Pep the player and now Pep continues this as a manager.
As Pep himself said "Johan Cruyff built the cathedral, it is our duty to maintain it". Through Barcelona, through Pep, through Xhavi, through all the players and managers he impacted from near and afar, Cryuff is the most important influence on the game in the last 45yrs. No other person comes close to his importance.
There was no better person to interview Pep in this manner that Titi.
Legends respect legends.
Love the way, Henry respects Pep Guardiola. Real recognises real.
He doesn't respect Pep, He loves Pep and it's rare for Henry to love and admire someone 😂😂
wtf they are associated with BARCELONA not Real. You need to learn the history of the game bro.
@@scaredmuffin6371 "Real" means here Authentic/Legit. It does not mean Real Madrid
@@scaredmuffin6371😂😂😂
@@scaredmuffin6371 lmaoo failed tryna correct someone 😂
The look on Peps face when Henry said he’s the best ever is just priceless. You can tell that meant a lot
Love the way Pep speaks first on KDB's character as a human and then how that relates to his football on the pitch.
They need to let Kevin talk!
@@mediacenterman8583 he talk with the ball that's pep tact
@@mediacenterman8583 This comment is so underrated
Henry adores Pep. You can see it in his eyes.
I feel Henry has an even bigger appreciation for what Pep has accomplished and is constantly striving to achieve because of his short stint as a manager himself. He knows from experience what Pep is doing is pure Greatness.
Spot on! It’s always easy for people who have never tried to sit in their homes and say whatever they want about him, only professionals know how hard it really is.
Henry had a phenomenal year at Barça 2008-09. Not enough people talk about it. Scored huge goals in huge games.
Yep, the narrative on social media from kids who never watched him is that he got 'carried at barca'. They dont even know how good he was that year.
Pep hugging Benardo😆.
Because bernardo saved him from another nightmare against real madrid
@@flexermc4333 I know but Benardo was feeling uncomfortable 😆.
@@flexermc4333 pep is saying don't leave silva😂😂
Iberian power
I remember when Henry hated Pep at Barca/post-Barca bc he felt he wasn't free to play his game and got pushed off team. But years later he's discovered how smart Pep was, Pep sees more in the field than what the player sees. Glad to see this relationship be restored. Very enjoyable interview.
If only Zlatan has the same ability to look past his ego. Barcelona would have been unbeatable for a lot longer
@@S1rWakka lol, I like how you speak with such confidence with little to none information.
A sextuple does that to you. Zlatan will never know.
Pep’s facial expression Henry said Pep is the greatest manager was priceless. You can tell Pep was not expecting that. Wonderful to see Henry & Pep talking like this - came across so very personal as though you were eavesdropping on a their conversation over coffee.
That was unexpected for Pep.
Well that was a treat! The respect, admiration, trust and affection they share is gorgeous to watch. 10/10
Gorgeous? 😂
peps reaction to when tt say "you are the best coach in history" is just class
Henry always refers Pep as Mister and that warms my heart as a Barca fan
If Henry gives you praise with such detail to why you’re so special is amazing. Pep is definitely the best manager ever.
Lol no he’s not. He needs every possible advantage just to win domestic titles. Even at Bayern who won the treble before he joined he turned them into domestic specialists. Overrated manager.
@@BigBoss7777777His so called rivals have less success 😂😂😂
He's not the best manager ever
@@BigBoss7777777 so are you implying that you know pep better and have greater ball knowledge than someone who's a legend of the game and trained under pep for a couple years ? 😂😂
@@BigBoss7777777 Who doesn't? You act like Fergie didn't need players like Beckham to win the treble get out dude... Every single team if you want to win not just GOOD coach you need insane players to win it..
Kdb is just extraordinary 💙💙💙
That part about how Pep was able to reawaken Henry's killer instinct and the way he talks about Kevin is pretty cool, and really shows how he's able to work with the players' mindsets and has a good intuitive understanding of psychology. That's really important in such a fast paced game where the players need to have their instincts and mentality in perfect tune in order to function optimally.
That proves Zlatan rants on Pep were totally wrong saying he's cold hearted and doesn't talk to his players?! Its actually quite the opposite
@@outlawedTV88 Yeah i'd say take anything a guy like Zlatan says with a grain of salt. Pep knows this but still appreciates Zlatan for what he is because he probably knows his disagreeable mindset and conflict seeking behavior is connected to his toughness, assertiveness and competitiveness. Wouldn't stress about their little feud, Pep seems to not stress about it either.
@@birkknut276 This. Zlatan doesn't fit with the systems Pep uses, but he's a huge asset in another system. It's not that either is wrong; it's just about fit. Pep understands this part, but Zlatan doesn't.
@outlawIvanhoe zlatan don't like to be boss around the first thing he said after arrive was wtf is wrong with you people? you look like a kindergarten saying yes mr! to everything. Ofc he was sack even after playing well bc he would be a bad apple
Thierry is the best pundit there has ever been on TV which is an undeniable fact and the fact he speaks so highly of Pep only reaffirms my own opinions on the game and on certain individuals like Pep. Just listening to people who know so much and are actually having correct and valid opinions on the game is just amazing, could listen to them speak all day long
That's true actually! His combination of intelligence and charisma and passion for the sport is so rare, you always enjoy listening to him talk about football
Daniel Sturridge is close I know he’s only done it a couple times but trust me he is the next best pundit
Pep saying "'Me too" knocked my socks off.
De Bruyne must truly be a genious when Guardiola says he has learned a lot from him.
KDB spatial awareness is ridiculous, his ability to make the killer pass is outrageous.
What an incredible interview
the camera angle is apt for this interview. almost as if we're looking up at giants. props to the camera team
It's time Henry rates himself more. He was just pure class to me!
He rates himself extremely, but be know how the world will react if he shows it. He ry should have won 2 Golden Balls, one in 2004 and one in 2006.
Pep is the greatest whether he wins today or not. I accept that accolades mean a lot and add a lot of value to your CV, but people who really watch the games and love football know it is more than just trophies or honours. Be it the the Barca Team he coached (the best club team imo), the Bayern Team even or now this city team; you can see what he does to the players and to the game itself. Knockout Tournaments like the CL also need a significant amount of luck and things going your way but in the longer formats like the leagues, you can see his ideas coming to life in the form of players and matches, they way both are executed. A true great of the game, indeed.
Pep is the best of this era but is pretty much a carbon copy of Cruyff. Don’t think I’m hating as I’m not, Pep and his love for football and tactics will eventually take the moniker of best of all time, but he has some way to go. As of now, Jock Stein is the best manager of all time. Only European quadruple ever (when Scottish football actually had quality, unlike now) and he done so with a whole squad from the local area, the furthest away one came from was 30 miles. That’ll never ever happen again, nothing will come close. He then reached the 69/70 final again but lost out to a revolutionary Feyenoord side.
@@Greg-SurgeEquityResearch even Bob paisley achieved more in his Liverpool tenure than pep has for city! 20 trophies, 6 league titles, 3 ucl, 1 uefa, 1 supercup, 3 league cups, 6 charity shields not that relevant? But pep considers them important. With this expensively assembled squad today another chance to get the maiden ucl? Rivalry aside he deserves one for city!
@@Greg-SurgeEquityResearch I understand what you are saying and I humbly agree. But in this day and age, where every club has all the resources, albeit Pep has them too, not saying he doesn’t, but he’s brilliant. He lives football. And that’s what I like. And although he’s on the same philosophy as of Cruyff, but he has taken an already amazing philosophy a step beyond and that’s not easy whatsoever. Anyways, cheers to life and football mate! 🥂
@@giwrgospetrou1159 brother. There’s no Messi/Ronaldo debate here. We’re not one of them lot. And Messi doesn’t need mentioning no trophies, the football he played all these years, says everything that needs to be said and his football doesn’t need any trophies to do justice to.
He's one of the greatest but not the greatest
I’m really loving Henry’s thoughtful questions. Not just your generic questions that most interviewers/media ask.
What Guardiola has done in the world of football is nothing short of amazing
This is an amazing interview. I love to listen to both to them.
Henry was a BEAST in his prime, just like PEP is as a coach. Top player, being coached by a top manager... just amazing
Imagine having Henry and Zinade in the same team... Unfair to say the least
6:17 he’s basically saying KdB needs to have that DAARRRG in him 😂😂
Without a ucl or trophy for Belgium it would be a footballing crime if he retired Without one of the two!
Yessssssss, and when KDB snaps, we've seen the goals he scored
@@agyirifosfoundationrichard9139 KdB cowers when the his team or country are close to winning trophies. Countless World Cup and Euro poor performances and the last ucl final he had a stinker
@@mymemories925 well he needs to do his part and turn up in the biggest moments, he hasn’t done that so far
@@velianfc well he got injured in the final so I guess your half correct
Kevin must be included in the list of the GOAT midfielder's list by the time he retires
He's already there
After tonight
Hes already goat prem midfielder
He doesn't even have a world cup
@@vlsui66 Scholes, Giggs, Gerrard… you’re saying they’re not on the list because they don’t have world cups?
For me, It is such a wonderful thing to see how Thierry, Arteta, De Zerbi, Xavi, Vinny..... The way they talk to and talk about Guardiola, there is so much love, respect, pride and gratitude. Its like they are starstruck themselves. 🤩🤩🤩 Its tough to explain in words....but just wow.
These two are one if the main reasons as to why I love the game so much, both legends of the game, both incredibly humble, both showing all respect to each other 🙏🏼
Amazing interview! Henry is sceptical at first not to offend like a player, manager relationship then he opens up.
Pep is amazing! What he see’s will be written about in years to come
When your former player, who worked with amazing managers starts with words that for him you are the best coach in the history. Wow... I think that's something says. Specially when this former player is Thierry Henry. One of the greatest player in his era.
The combined soccer knowledge between these two. Absolute pleasure to listen to them talk on such a high level about the game.
Bro said soccer
0:08 It seems that Pep really loves Bernardo, I really hope he'll do everything to make him stay.
Bernardo takes away pressure , meaning wen you are playing against tough opponents , Bernardo will hold the ball gets u free kicks shifts possession from opponent to your team so he’s perfect
They like each other. I've watched Bernardo talk about how much he is learning and constantly surprised by Pep's tactics. I think usually these decisions [like Gundogan] come down to personal things like family. The team has made it clear they want the both of them. Portugal, Germany and England are different culturally and sometimes a person misses home or is not super attached to a foreign country. Sometimes at 30 and 31 you want a new challenge in life etc etc
Man City players (I forgot who they were) said he's Pep's apprentice because Pep loves him more than any other players.

i feel like what pep really excells at is finding a player who can be versatile anywhere. Stone being cb,rb and even mf and cdm this season is just ridiculous. He really brings out the best in his players. We're really, really luck to have him at city
Henry brought a beauty to the game of football that’s so unique and hard to replicate. He made me enjoy football in a different way!
He should have at least win a Balon ‘ordor . Especially that year Nevded won!
Pep knows he is the best, but you can tell he appreciates being appreciated by one of the best players of the generation.
Very fascinating chat and loads of talking points!

It's mesmerizing how Pep is able to bring the best out of everyone in the Club. He's built different
Man respect
Except for zlatan
i totally agree with thierry. he is the best manager i've seen ! to the point where watching his games teaches me about coaching
When it comes to predicting sports events, AwakenBeerus's accuracy is unparalleled!
For Thierry to still call him boss shows the respect he still has for Pep
This interview is LEGEND.
the way pep was saying " me too" when henry spoke about de bruyne is soo funny
People forget Henry is actually a good coach to he just chooses not to because its to stressful and taxing but if youve watched him on the sidelines he can manage, thats another reason why him and pep get along so well.
I love the way PEP speaks football. For him, its strictly football. No politics. Because he actually trains his players. People like Fergie, Mou..they really do not have this kind of football language.
Mou has had a lot of success with maybe 10% of Pep's budget. You can't compare coaches if you ignore that.
@@skyhigh6089 But why are u guys always bring up money when it comes to Pep and other coaches!! Will you for once talk about football? I mean come on...

Unreal interview! Love these two how respectful and flattered for each other are
I love how pep praise ruben dias, as he should be praised by others too.
Henry is the perfect interviewer for Pep, the history & respect between these two is undeniable.
As much as he won't admit to it, Pep has evolved as a couch, he seems more composed and "less" really only a lil less obsessed with the game. I think it's that extra calmness that made and will be the difference in this Champion's Leagues campaign
I think the difference will be the £1 billion more he’s spent than Inter Milan.

2 true legends, enough said
Indeed an indepth interview. I thought this was going to be one of those vague interviews we see but it was very awesome. Man, Henry could be a psychologist. The way he drew Pep's thoughts for him to discuss such indepth matters abt football
Class interview
Two of the greats. Watching this
after the final
Pep dropped Ronaldinho one year, dropped Henry the year after and Ibra the year after that. All about whatever is best for the team, no matter who the name is.
Why did he drop Henry? Wasn’t he good for Barca?
Injuries. Thierry already has problem to walk straight before he went to Barce.
Ibrahim was not really down to what is best for the team but more like relationship problem... Pep & Zlatan is like oil & water.
Imagine being coached by both Pep and wenger. Two revolutionary coach, top 2 biggest influencer in football. Henry is one of the luckiest player.
Excellent interview. Real Legends.
Even for a chelsea fan this is a beautiful interaction and congrats to city and pep
True leaders build teams and system, Pep is a genius. Raheem, Jesus and Zinchenko leaves, no problem. Cancelo gets dumped, the system is always working and new players step it up like Gundogan and Stones. Pep has built a legacy and he put man city on the map as one of the greatest club teams in history
Easily the best ever. Pep’s influence on his teams is greater than any other manager has ever had on their own teams. Ferguson included. Some managers might have more outlandish achievements, Porto 2004 etc, but Pep’s actual managerial and tactical genius is far greater than anyone in history
CBS sport is just the best..they have taken football show and interviews to another level..we all feel part of it❤❤❤
Henry’s love for Pep is so beautiful!!!! 😍😍😍
The Goat Coach for sure 📌💯
best of luck pep and city
Henry came to Barca as Pep took charge - and they won a historic treble in Pep’s first season
This coach/player pairing is one most special ones in the game
Delighted to hear them talk - they have outmost respect for each other
Nothing better than a couple of GOATs having a chat about elite football. Chef's kiss.
This interview was so good it felt like it was only 2 minutes
Henry played under Pep for only 2 years, yet it is clear that he influenced him the most. This shows how great Pep really is!! The GOAT!!!
Henry speaks like he plays.... Tidy... Neat... Expeditiously... Classy.... And I'm a UTD fan
❤ love the relationship they still have. Great interview
Who ever doubts Pep G.s skills, watch again how he transformed Bayern Munich in his time there into such strong team, it was ridiculous compared to the rest. Leading 6-0 after first leg wasn’t even worth mentioning anymore. Other teams tried not to loose with more than 10 behind.
I am DUTCH and I know PEP adores CRUIJFF. So I wish him the best this evening.

Top Notch, great interview and respect by both guys and good quality information passed on to us as opposed to interviews by journos !
PEP is a GENIUS manager, best in the world no doubt he is CLEAR ✔
To Henry, Pep is boss and Leo is a freak/magician/The GOAT.
And if you know why he's called 'The Great Thierry Henry', you'll understand the value of his words even more.
Goosebumps always with these 3 names.
Henry was the smooth assassin in that legendary 2009 team. So much class and calmness on that wing. Eto was a relentless animal up front. Outworked everybody on the field. And Messi was a goat on the rise. Imo that 2009 team was the best team I've ever seen. 2015 Barça team comes close but that 2009 team was more balanced all around with puyol, abidal, Xavi, Iniesta, eto, Dani Alves all being in their prime. Messi and Busquets were at the beginning of their reign. Henry was the only one out of his prime but still elite.
@@bigpoppa3999 music to my ears is what your comment is.
Trust me, I wholeheartedly agree with you. 2009 Barça was the best football side ever. They toyed with everyone and was a nightmare to deal with. No club wanted to face that Barça.
And I accidentally stumbled upon them which is why I bleed blaugrana until now. I was 13 then and my balls were bigger than my nerdy textbook filled school bag at the time. So much confidence in them and it was all based on reality.
Valdes, Abidal, Puyol, Pique, Dani Alves, Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Henry, Pedro and The God of Football himself (Messi). With Pep Guardiola as the boss. The greatest football side ever.
