“That is what it is like with Pep. At first, you don't understand. But then you grow up, you work, and now we understand the things he wants much better. It's not like the first season when it took him more time to make us understand his ideas.
Some players didn't understand immediately what he wanted.” Pep isn’t afraid to compliment Fernandinho in public or on news. Fernandinho admits that at first he couldn’t get what Pep wanted from him but now it’s much easier to understand his manager. He grew in football with Pep as if Pep was always there for him.
“The important thing to understand, from my point of view, is if the opponents break our lines and they are attacking our box, something has gone wrong, and it is me who has to fix it. But fouls in football are normal. You have to do it sometimes.”
