Pep Guardiola

Pep Guardiola. Honest, intense and tiki-taka. His interviews, Barcelona's play and players playing for him says it all. The style and humbleness with which Barca plays has made every football entusiats fall in love with football again.

Watching Barca's game every week has been very exciting for me. Be it beating Madrid or watching Champions Leaguse games, it been an exciting and amazing footballing experience. Players like Messi, Xavi, Inesta playing beutifully says a lot about how Pep has managed to bring together beautiful players to play a very beautiful game.

We all know by now, beautiful game is the Barca way, ingraned into each La Massia players from chilhood, once started by Johan Cruyff. And Pep has now implemented the phisophy and style to perfection.

And now he's said goodbye to Barca and will be leaving behind the continuation of philosohy which he learnt during his days at La Massia. He's leaving behid the best club, team and players in the world today. To realise that its time for him to leave those things behind, to realise that he may not offer anything better for the club and say boodbye, says a lot of about character and intelligence in the man.

It has been such a joy watching Barca play football during his time as Barca coach, and i will surely miss him next season. I hope the takes a good reast and one day, comes back to Barca to continue improving on the philosophy. Pep, you have showed the world how the philosohy of beautiful game can be played at a compititive level recognising new and young talents and trusting them with making the game beautiful.

It was a joy, it has been sad, but everyone needs some rest and hope you come back to football with much more enthusism and exceitement. So long...
