what about the arguement he had with pique??does anyone know about it?
someone even posted the gif.
I think being part of a team that includes Pique is going to include occasional arguments with Pique. This is normal, they blow over very quickly, no big deal. If Pep thinks one more year here will be enough, it's not because of any one player or member of management.
Pep is a great coach for Barca. But the Barca way would not end if Pep leaves.
The way Messi plays rubs off on all the forwards he plays with, he influences them more than any coach ever does. This was clear with the Albiceleste in World Cup 2010.
Look at the effect of all the Barca players on the Spanish World Cup team. That team's style of play was very similar to Barca's, even though Del Bosque is a Madridista.
By the start of the 2012-2013 season, Xavi might be ready to transition to being more of a part-time player. Player/coach.
