PEP the beginning, sant cugat

Pep Guardiola Masterclass | Sant Cugat, April 11, 2007
Sant Cugat, April 11, 2007: a former professional player, retired just over a year ago, presented himself in front of a group of coaches to discuss ideas and principles about his way of understanding football.
Everyone immediately perceived that it was something special, at that time he had no experience as a coach, after 2 months he would be appointed coach of Barça B, within 15 months he would be appointed as Frank Rijkaard's successor to Barcelona, the rest we all know, because he was Pep Guardiola.
Creating numerical superiority, progressing through the 'third man', defending space, these were the topics covered by Guardiola in that cloudy April 11, 2007, principles that over the course of these 17 years we have been able to admire and study in his teams.
