penalties are a gamble but it was his direct action that meant that there had to be a penalty shootout in the first place.

Was he always that mental on the sideline?
This guy is absolute crazy in the sidelines, he is like a psycho running wild. I never seen such a crazy guy on the sidelines

No, he first met up with Kalle and Uli in 2011 during the Audi Cup, which is what I'm assuming you're talking about when you say meeting up in a restaurant? I don't think that conversation was about coaching for Bayern though. IIRC he had offers from PSG, Man City, Chelsea and Bayern.

True, I stand corrected. The meeting I was talking about was the one that happened during Audi cup. (I somehow got it all mixed up.)
And this meeting is why I always claimed Pep actually stole Thiago from us and his plan was always to carry his pet son along with him. (Remind you, it was in 2011 summer that Pep signed Cesc for us and Thiago got this stupid clause included in his contract! This was right around the time Pep had his secret meeting with Kalle and expressed his intention to be open for a job at Bayern)
Anyway... the other meeting that happened with Hoeness in New York was in 2012, which was when Bayern just ended up runners up in all the trophies that they played then. So Pep did not exactly choose a team that was on a down hill. He definitely knew what he was getting into!
From Pep Confidential:
"The club will then buy Thiago, whom Barcelona have been trying to transfer since the summer of 2011, a year before Guardiola left the Catalan club."
"The player has already reached an agreement with the Munich team and is not interested in going anywhere else. No one from Bayern anticipates any opposition from Barca, who have for some time been very open about their wish to sell the player. When Guardiola was still coaching Barca, in the summer of 2011, the club was already testing the market. Later they agreed to include an escape clause in the players contract, which detailed that if Thiago played less than a stated minimum number of minutes per year, his recission fee would drop hugely, to €18 million instead of the phohibitive €90 million figure in the original contract. Later having won the Spanish league, nobody at Barca was interested in changing the team dynamic just so that Thiago could reach the target amount of playing time and it seems unlikely that the club is going to reject a reasonable offer now."
How is that Pep "stealing" Thiago when they could have just given him adequate time and were trying to get rid of him in the first place?

Pep Guardiola tells Dortmund's Sebastian Kehl: 'When you're 35 points behind, you better be quiet'
Guardiola has hit back at Kehl's comments about Bayern needing to "practice" penalties.
Pep: “My advice to Kehl is: When you are down by 35 points, it’s better to say nothing.”
Pep Guardiola has launched a stinging response to Borussia Dortmund midfielder Sebastian Kehl's jibe about Bayern Munich blaming referees.
The Bavarians lost their German Cup penalty shoot-out on Wednesday, failing to convert any of their four spot-kicks, but felt hard done by about several penalty shouts of their own throughout the clash.
Kehl advised Guardiola's side to practice penalties following their defeat instead of blaming the match officials.
"If Bayern can`t take penalties, they have to practice them," said the 35-year-old midfielder.
"I think that it`s crazy Bayern now try to put the blame on the referee. They`ve done it quite often when getting defeated by us."
Guardiola, whose side won their third straight Bundesliga title at the weekend, responded by reminding Kehl exactly where Dortmund currently sit in the league table.
"I have some advice for Kehl: when you`re trailing by more than 35 points (in the Bundesliga), you should shut up," he said, a finger in front of his mouth in Friday's press conference.
"Now we have time to practise since we're already champions."
