Pep Guardiola

[Sumlit]

So if Pep says grass is blue he must also be onto something since its Pep?

Pep knows more about grass than all of us here combined.

oh and http://www.bluegrasses.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poa_pratensis

But bluegrass isn't really blue.

 

[Sumlit]

He didn't specify.

Pep wishes Zidane well at Real Madrid and believes he's the best player in history.

"Zidane is naturally the best possible choice, he is absolutely the best player in history. He knows everything about football and the media. I don't wish him to be perfect, however, because I am a fan of Barcelona... but I wish him all the best."

He didn´t say that.

If you think that pep meant that then you are the gullible one, sorry.

Since you're clearly in the know, please do elaborate on what exactly Lord Pep did mean then?

 

[Deco10]

Although I don't agree with him (Messi is the best), it's not that hard to believe to think that someone would regard Zidane as the best ever. He is surely one of the best and he is not overrated .

 

[raskolnikov]

Zidane isnt even that much better than Iniesta.
Him being a top 10/15 player ever is reasonable, and you could argue him, Dinho or Ronaldo were the best post Maradona - pre Messi.
But to put him as goat is a joke imo.
Zidane is basically Rivaldo level just a little more consistent in years he tributed.

 

[Ode to Django]

Zidane top one ever of all time

 

[Barcaman]

Zidane is not better than Iniesta nevermind Messi.

 

[TornAndFrayed]

How I dread the endless Zidane comparisons that are bound to happen..

 

[KyletheMuslim]

He didn´t say that.

Just reiterating, Pep did not say Zidane is the best ever

Just reiterating, Pep did not say Zidane is the best ever

He did. Ask any German.

He said "unbedingt der beste spieler in aller geschichte" which means "absolutely the best player in all history".

 

[Alarcón]

He did. Ask any German.

He said "unbedingt der beste spieler in aller geschichte" which means "absolutely the best player in all history".

The problem is that Pep's German is terrible. You barely understand what he's trying to say. He adds random letters to words, leaves out articles, gets cases for basically every word wrong, and his pronunciation is awful. That makes it very hard to find out what he actually meant. I do believe he meant that Zidane is the best player of all time but I'm not really sure.

 

[instinct]

He clearly said it. There's no "one of the" anywhere in this video. His German is broken but "der beste spieler in aller geschichte" is clearly there. Don't know why anyone would dispute that.

I learned German as a kid and I can tell you that sentence is simple as it gets and there's no doubt in my mind he knew exactly what he was saying.
