Pass the ball. Take the ball. Pass the ball. 4 00:02:44.340 --> 00:02:46.300 And I don't care where you're from. 5 00:02:46.420 --> 00:02:47.980 I don't care. 6 00:02:48.100 --> 00:02:50.340 If you tell me that you love football, 7 00:02:51.620 --> 00:02:54.780 and you don't love Barcelona, you have a problem. 8 00:02:56.500 --> 00:02:58.540 If there's a game on TV, 9 00:02:59.700 --> 00:03:02.900 any team in the world, if Barcelona are playing, 10 00:03:03.020 --> 00:03:05.380 I'd pick watching Barcelona all day long. 11 00:03:06.900 --> 00:03:12.500 I'd say 2011 was the best brand of football I've seen. 12 00:03:13.580 --> 00:03:14.780 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 13 00:03:14.900 --> 00:03:18.260 Barça re-established themselves 14 00:03:18.380 --> 00:03:21.380 as the most admired team in Europe. 15 00:03:22.340 --> 00:03:24.140 Not because we won 16 00:03:24.260 --> 00:03:27.660 but because of the style in which we won. 17 00:03:28.540 --> 00:03:29.660 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 18 00:03:29.740 --> 00:03:32.700 There have been three special eras in football history. 19 00:03:34.020 --> 00:03:36.260 First, Cruyff's Ajax, 20 00:03:36.380 --> 00:03:41.260 Sacchi's AC Milan, a project that I continued. 21 00:03:41.380 --> 00:03:42.700 And then came Guardiola, 22 00:03:43.860 --> 00:03:48.180 and he created something beautiful. 23 00:03:48.980 --> 00:03:51.460 To play against Barcelona at that time, 24 00:03:51.580 --> 00:03:54.740 you just knew you had a bigger chance to lose than to win. 25 00:03:55.500 --> 00:03:58.940 That Barcelona was just, you know, eating everything on the table. 26 00:04:27.380 --> 00:04:28.420 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 27 00:04:28.500 --> 00:04:31.580 It's one of the best ever performances in a Champions League final 28 00:04:31.700 --> 00:04:34.900 and to do it against Manchester United was incredible. 29 00:04:36.180 --> 00:04:39.180 We really enjoyed ourselves that day. 30 00:04:39.300 --> 00:04:40.940 I mean, they were special. 31 00:04:41.060 --> 00:04:43.540 They were as good as I've came up against 32 00:04:43.660 --> 00:04:46.380 by quite some margin. 33 00:04:47.340 --> 00:04:49.940 And they were just too good. 34 00:04:50.860 --> 00:04:54.700 I remember Sir Alex saying that he'd never lost like that before, 35 00:04:54.820 --> 00:04:55.860 where he felt 36 00:04:57.660 --> 00:04:59.140 that he couldn't do anything. 37 00:04:59.260 --> 00:05:04.540 No one's given us a hiding like that, so it's a great moment for them. 38 00:05:04.660 --> 00:05:06.820 They deserve it because they play the right way. 39 00:05:06.940 --> 00:05:09.380 They stuck at it, they kept passing, they kept passing. 40 00:05:09.500 --> 00:05:12.460 They might have lost one or two, but they kept passing it. 41 00:05:12.580 --> 00:05:15.020 And all of a sudden, they make that extra pass, 42 00:05:15.140 --> 00:05:17.900 and the spaces are bigger, it's harder to close down 43 00:05:18.020 --> 00:05:21.300 and you lose your little bit of shape, and that's when they take control. 44 00:05:21.420 --> 00:05:23.500 As a performance, it was... 45 00:05:23.980 --> 00:05:25.700 It was as good as I've seen. 46 00:05:27.220 --> 00:05:30.380 What struck me about them really was the patience of the wide men, 47 00:05:30.500 --> 00:05:34.820 to stay so high and so wide and keep making them runs, 48 00:05:34.940 --> 00:05:37.140 and probably hardly ever getting the ball. 49 00:05:38.380 --> 00:05:40.460 They both got the goal, but just the patience 50 00:05:40.580 --> 00:05:44.620 to stay in that position and hold us, pin our fullbacks back, pin them back. 51 00:05:44.740 --> 00:05:47.700 And then obviously you've got Messi to drop back, 52 00:05:47.820 --> 00:05:49.380 making it four v three. 53 00:05:52.540 --> 00:05:53.740 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 54 00:05:53.820 --> 00:05:57.700 Outnumbering the opponent was the basis of our whole strategy. 55 00:05:57.820 --> 00:06:02.340 Messi dropped into midfield to give us that numerical advantage. 56 00:06:02.460 --> 00:06:09.220 And he also scored goals, which gave us an advantage 57 00:06:09.340 --> 00:06:11.220 over every team we played. 58 00:06:11.340 --> 00:06:12.780 I'll show you how we did it. 59 00:06:12.900 --> 00:06:15.300 Here's the Manchester United defense. 60 00:06:15.420 --> 00:06:18.700 They never closed down the player in the hole. 61 00:06:19.100 --> 00:06:21.220 They had two defensive midfielders, 62 00:06:21.980 --> 00:06:25.820 a number ten, Rooney, who didn't defend very much 63 00:06:25.940 --> 00:06:26.940 and a striker. 64 00:06:27.060 --> 00:06:30.220 For this goal, we were three against two. 65 00:06:30.820 --> 00:06:33.980 Iniesta plays the ball across the line to Messi 66 00:06:34.620 --> 00:06:36.700 and Messi attacks the defense. 67 00:06:39.340 --> 00:06:40.540 (CROWD CHEERING) 68 00:06:42.980 --> 00:06:44.260 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 69 00:06:44.380 --> 00:06:47.220 We started really well but then they equalized 70 00:06:47.340 --> 00:06:51.180 and that gave us a scare, which is normal in a final. 71 00:06:51.300 --> 00:06:55.580 But we managed to take control and when we went 3-1 up, 72 00:06:55.700 --> 00:07:01.500 we felt much more relaxed. 73 00:07:01.620 --> 00:07:04.180 (CROWD CHEERING) 74 00:07:27.060 --> 00:07:28.220 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 75 00:07:28.300 --> 00:07:30.460 VALDÉS: Pep gave us a team talk in the Wembley dressing room. 76 00:07:30.980 --> 00:07:35.220 I remember the room was very dark, and he said, 77 00:07:36.420 --> 00:07:40.140 "I told you that if you got me this far, I'd win you the final, 78 00:07:40.260 --> 00:07:42.220 "and I'm going to make sure you win it." 79 00:07:46.180 --> 00:07:47.900 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 80 00:07:47.980 --> 00:07:49.380 If Pep said to jump off the third tier of Camp Nou, I'd jump. 81 00:07:49.500 --> 00:07:50.980 There must be a good reason for it. 82 00:07:51.660 --> 00:07:53.660 And that's what I loved about him. 83 00:07:53.780 --> 00:07:58.820 He'd say things, and we'd realize 84 00:07:58.940 --> 00:08:02.020 that his words were never just words, 85 00:08:02.140 --> 00:08:06.500 and that convinces you that what you're doing 86 00:08:06.620 --> 00:08:08.220 is going to get results. 87 00:08:08.780 --> 00:08:12.180 It's unreal the way he used to tell us something, 88 00:08:12.300 --> 00:08:14.900 "That's what we're going to do. Do it. It will work." 89 00:08:15.020 --> 00:08:17.740 And it will happen. 90 00:08:18.780 --> 00:08:21.300 It really will happen, just like that. 91 00:08:24.340 --> 00:08:25.460 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 92 00:08:25.540 --> 00:08:26.820 That day was the crowning moment 93 00:08:26.940 --> 00:08:33.500 of everything we'd achieved since 2008. 94 00:08:34.500 --> 00:08:38.020 It was the crowning moment of our reign, 95 00:08:38.140 --> 00:08:45.140 the reign of a team adored by its supporters 96 00:08:46.180 --> 00:08:48.620 and also by everyone who loves football. 97 00:08:56.340 --> 00:08:58.300 For Barça to win the Champions League 98 00:08:58.420 --> 00:09:00.340 in that style at Wembley, 99 00:09:00.460 --> 00:09:03.180 was the perfect end to a brutally draining season. 100 00:09:03.300 --> 00:09:06.020 The rivalry between them and Madrid had never been nastier. 101 00:09:06.220 --> 00:09:09.460 And the relationship between Mourinho and Guardiola was beyond tense. 102 00:09:09.580 --> 00:09:11.420 Getting out of hand, some would say. 103 00:09:11.540 --> 00:09:14.180 I think it escalated into something more than just football. 104 00:09:14.300 --> 00:09:19.100 I mean, I don't know whether there's any rivalry between them personally, 105 00:09:19.740 --> 00:09:20.980 but it looked that way. 106 00:09:21.100 --> 00:09:24.020 Let's not forget where this comes from. 107 00:09:24.140 --> 00:09:29.580 In 2010, Barcelona are on their way to the Champions League final. 108 00:09:30.660 --> 00:09:33.740 The Champions League final is at Real Madrid's stadium. 109 00:09:33.860 --> 00:09:38.260 I think we've all forgotten how much of a trauma this was in Madrid. 110 00:09:38.380 --> 00:09:40.060 They're terrified of this prospect. 111 00:09:40.540 --> 00:09:41.580 What happens? 112 00:09:41.700 --> 00:09:43.020 Mourinho happens. 113 00:09:52.180 --> 00:09:56.500 Mourinho beats Barcelona and celebrates it like mad. 114 00:09:56.620 --> 00:09:59.580 And he's just passed his audition for Real Madrid. 115 00:10:00.420 --> 00:10:01.660 (FLASHBULBS POPPING) 116 00:10:08.460 --> 00:10:10.220 It was difficult for Mourinho at Madrid 117 00:10:10.340 --> 00:10:14.380 because he probably arrives when Barcelona are at their best. 118 00:10:15.060 --> 00:10:17.380 And I doubt that any other manager 119 00:10:17.500 --> 00:10:20.060 would have found a solution for Madrid at the time. 120 00:10:20.180 --> 00:10:23.340 I think that he arrived to Madrid, to a really big club, 121 00:10:23.460 --> 00:10:27.540 but he got frustrated after the 5-0, 122 00:10:28.260 --> 00:10:31.500 because we beat them 5-0 at Camp Nou in his first year. 123 00:10:31.620 --> 00:10:32.860 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 124 00:10:32.940 --> 00:10:34.540 In the 5-0, they didn't have a hope.

Ever. 322 00:21:57.740 --> 00:22:01.620 But the fact that Éric Abidal plays and wins, 323 00:22:01.740 --> 00:22:04.780 having already just beaten cancer 324 00:22:04.900 --> 00:22:09.300 turns this from a great sporting story into a great human drama. 325 00:22:09.500 --> 00:22:10.620 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 326 00:22:10.860 --> 00:22:12.660 That day wasn't about lifting the Champions League trophy, 327 00:22:12.780 --> 00:22:15.460 we should have been lifting Abi. 328 00:22:16.260 --> 00:22:19.260 That was the real triumph. 329 00:22:20.100 --> 00:22:23.780 He was one of the great characters in the dressing room 330 00:22:23.900 --> 00:22:26.260 and everybody loved him. 331 00:22:26.380 --> 00:22:27.900 Abidal! 332 00:22:30.660 --> 00:22:32.100 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 333 00:22:32.180 --> 00:22:36.100 I remember two or three days after we heard about the cancer, 334 00:22:36.220 --> 00:22:39.220 Abi came to see us. 335 00:22:39.340 --> 00:22:41.820 And he was the one who cheered us up. 336 00:22:41.940 --> 00:22:46.540 One of my teammates died when I was at Sevilla, 337 00:22:46.660 --> 00:22:52.300 and I thought, "I can't let this happen again. 338 00:22:53.300 --> 00:22:55.020 Not another one, please." 339 00:22:55.140 --> 00:22:58.980 The first time I wasn't able to help, but this time, I could. 340 00:22:59.100 --> 00:23:03.660 And if there was a chance to save his life, 341 00:23:04.260 --> 00:23:06.580 my career was the last thing on my mind. 342 00:23:06.700 --> 00:23:08.020 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 343 00:23:08.100 --> 00:23:12.540 Dani came to see me and said, "Look Abi, we have the same blood type. 344 00:23:13.620 --> 00:23:15.380 I'm going to give you part of my liver." 345 00:23:15.500 --> 00:23:22.460 Everyone saw Dani in a different light after that. 346 00:23:22.580 --> 00:23:23.820 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 347 00:23:23.900 --> 00:23:25.380 ALVES: It was a private matter, which only came out 348 00:23:25.500 --> 00:23:26.900 because Abi told people. 349 00:23:27.020 --> 00:23:29.700 But I'd never have forgiven myself if he'd died 350 00:23:29.820 --> 00:23:31.740 and I'd done nothing to help. 351 00:23:31.860 --> 00:23:33.700 I couldn't let that happen. 352 00:23:33.820 --> 00:23:39.380 In the end, they found another solution, but I don't regret making the offer. 353 00:23:40.740 --> 00:23:41.860 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 354 00:23:41.940 --> 00:23:43.300 VALDÉS: Days after his operation, 355 00:23:44.980 --> 00:23:48.940 he was back in the dressing room and working out in the gym. 356 00:23:49.060 --> 00:23:53.540 He wanted to be back with the group as soon as possible. 357 00:23:53.660 --> 00:23:57.300 We had no doubt he'd make a full recovery. 358 00:23:57.380 --> 00:23:58.420 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 359 00:23:58.540 --> 00:24:00.740 INTERVIEWER: Did you think you had a good chance of playing at Wembley? 360 00:24:00.860 --> 00:24:02.020 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 361 00:24:02.100 --> 00:24:06.180 No. I didn't even think I had a ten percent chance. 362 00:24:07.620 --> 00:24:11.940 We needed to play the strongest side possible, 363 00:24:13.020 --> 00:24:15.460 and the strongest team had to include Puyol. 364 00:24:16.100 --> 00:24:17.740 PUYOL: I wanted to play. 365 00:24:17.860 --> 00:24:21.300 I always wanted to play, but I was in a worse state than Abidal. 366 00:24:21.420 --> 00:24:24.300 And the most important thing was winning. 367 00:24:25.060 --> 00:24:27.660 The boss did something he'd never done before, 368 00:24:27.780 --> 00:24:31.780 He announced the starting line-up in the dressing room at Wembley 369 00:24:33.020 --> 00:24:36.540 just an hour before the game in the Champions League Final. 370 00:24:39.020 --> 00:24:40.620 I was shitting myself, 371 00:24:40.740 --> 00:24:43.140 thinking, "Bloody hell!

Abi should lift it." 395 00:26:03.060 --> 00:26:05.220 Without any doubt, that moment was... 396 00:26:06.220 --> 00:26:08.340 the absolute highlight for us all. 397 00:26:08.460 --> 00:26:11.260 To watch Abidal lift the trophy was very special. 398 00:26:15.660 --> 00:26:16.780 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 399 00:26:16.860 --> 00:26:18.460 XAVI: I was with VĂctor ValdĂ©s, close to Abidal. 400 00:26:18.580 --> 00:26:22.540 Watching Abidal lift the trophy after the illness he'd been through, 401 00:26:22.660 --> 00:26:24.340 it still gives me goosebumps. 402 00:26:25.980 --> 00:26:29.100 (CROWD CHEERING) 403 00:26:42.380 --> 00:26:43.540 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 404 00:26:43.620 --> 00:26:45.180 I think it was the moment... 405 00:26:51.420 --> 00:26:53.700 that showed the strength of our group. 406 00:26:54.980 --> 00:26:57.260 We were much more than just teammates. 407 00:26:57.380 --> 00:27:01.020 They say that Barça is more than a club. 408 00:27:01.140 --> 00:27:03.780 At that moment, it was more than a club. 409 00:27:14.100 --> 00:27:16.500 I think that the story of this club, 410 00:27:16.620 --> 00:27:21.420 obviously, you cannot understand if you don't know the figure of Cruyff. 411 00:27:21.540 --> 00:27:25.340 Firstly as a player, he was one of the best players in history. 412 00:27:25.460 --> 00:27:26.740 I didn't watch him play, 413 00:27:26.860 --> 00:27:30.220 but my dad always said incredible things about him. 414 00:27:30.340 --> 00:27:32.500 He always says, "Messi and then Cruyff." 415 00:27:32.620 --> 00:27:33.660 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 416 00:27:33.740 --> 00:27:35.540 LAPORTA: When we were kids of ten or 11, Cruyff signed for Barça 417 00:27:35.620 --> 00:27:40.540 and we copied his hairstyle, the way he ran and played football. 418 00:27:40.660 --> 00:27:42.980 He inspired a revolution in 1973/74. 419 00:27:50.660 --> 00:27:52.220 (CROWD CHEERING) 420 00:28:07.060 --> 00:28:12.140 JORDI: He comes here with the advantage of having a good reputation as a player. 421 00:28:12.260 --> 00:28:16.220 He has a philosophy which is contrary to many. 422 00:28:16.340 --> 00:28:18.100 He would prefer to fail with his ideas 423 00:28:18.220 --> 00:28:20.700 than to succeed with the ideas of someone else. 424 00:28:20.820 --> 00:28:24.140 Players go for these kind of things, for this kind of charisma. 425 00:28:25.100 --> 00:28:26.540 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 426 00:28:26.660 --> 00:28:31.580 I played with him here for five years and when we took over the team, 427 00:28:31.700 --> 00:28:36.060 we wanted to play a different brand of football. 428 00:28:36.180 --> 00:28:41.300 And it caused shock waves around the world. 429 00:28:41.420 --> 00:28:44.220 Everyone played with a 4-4-2 formation, 430 00:28:44.340 --> 00:28:50.220 and we played with three defenders, four midfielders and three in attack. 431 00:28:50.300 --> 00:28:51.700 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 432 00:28:51.780 --> 00:28:53.700 LAPORTA: People would say, "They've only got three defenders!" 433 00:28:53.820 --> 00:28:55.580 It was a 3-4-3. 434 00:28:55.700 --> 00:28:58.780 They'd say, "It's madness. We'll concede loads of goals!" 435 00:28:58.900 --> 00:29:01.740 But Johan preferred winning 6-5 to winning 1-0. 436 00:29:01.860 --> 00:29:05.780 I was really lucky because I was six, seven, eight years old. 437 00:29:05.900 --> 00:29:09.060 I watched the first Copa de Europa, European Championships. 438 00:29:09.180 --> 00:29:10.460 We were a really good team, 439 00:29:10.580 --> 00:29:14.180 always playing really well, but we'd never won nothing important. 440 00:29:14.300 --> 00:29:17.060 But when he arrived, he changed this mentality, 441 00:29:17.180 --> 00:29:20.100 and we started to win important things and important titles. 442 00:29:20.220 --> 00:29:22.420 (CROWD CHEERING) 443 00:29:45.020 --> 00:29:46.580 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 444 00:29:46.700 --> 00:29:50.740 Cruyff is the most influential person in the entire history of FC Barcelona. 445 00:29:51.140 --> 00:29:54.900 Our style of play is the most important thing. 446 00:29:55.020 --> 00:29:56.620 Then come the players. 447 00:29:56.740 --> 00:29:59.980 But what really draws you in and what sets the club apart 448 00:30:00.100 --> 00:30:03.020 is that Barça play a unique brand of football. 449 00:30:03.140 --> 00:30:04.580 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 450 00:30:04.660 --> 00:30:07.220 MESSI: It all started a very long time ago during Cruyff's spell at the club. 451 00:30:07.340 --> 00:30:12.140 Since then we've always played the same way, 452 00:30:12.260 --> 00:30:16.900 holding onto possession 453 00:30:17.860 --> 00:30:21.700 and passing in triangles, 454 00:30:21.820 --> 00:30:24.060 pressing the moment we lose the ball, 455 00:30:24.180 --> 00:30:29.460 staying close together so we can recover possession and then keep it. 456 00:30:29.580 --> 00:30:30.860 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 457 00:30:30.940 --> 00:30:31.980 Over time you realize, 458 00:30:32.100 --> 00:30:35.380 that it's because of Cruyff's influence that by the age of 21, 459 00:30:35.500 --> 00:30:39.140 it felt normal to come off my line and play further up the pitch, 460 00:30:39.260 --> 00:30:41.260 outside the penalty area. 461 00:30:41.380 --> 00:30:46.860 You come to realize that all of us, me, Xavi, Iniesta... 462 00:30:46.980 --> 00:30:51.740 We've all grown up adopting Johan's philosophy. 463 00:30:51.860 --> 00:30:55.580 You know, it's an immense honor, or pride, 464 00:30:55.700 --> 00:30:57.340 to see that this is still going this way 465 00:30:57.460 --> 00:30:59.900 and my father is mentioned like the architect. 466 00:31:03.860 --> 00:31:05.580 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 467 00:31:05.740 --> 00:31:11.420 I think it's a process that began in the 1970s with Laureano Ruiz. 468 00:31:11.540 --> 00:31:13.980 I experienced that here as a player. 469 00:31:14.580 --> 00:31:17.180 I was then a coach here when the second big change took place 470 00:31:17.300 --> 00:31:19.180 when Johan Cruyff arrived as manager. 471 00:31:19.300 --> 00:31:20.700 He changed our mentality. 472 00:31:20.820 --> 00:31:26.420 He turned us into winners and taught us to be confident, 473 00:31:26.540 --> 00:31:30.220 to want the ball and be creative, and to enjoy ourselves. 474 00:31:30.340 --> 00:31:33.020 And our third big change was with Pep, 475 00:31:33.140 --> 00:31:35.060 who took it to another level. 476 00:31:35.740 --> 00:31:37.340 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 477 00:31:37.420 --> 00:31:40.460 Cruyff's arrival was key because he imposed his ideas. 478 00:31:40.580 --> 00:31:46.340 His advantage was that the players 479 00:31:46.460 --> 00:31:49.460 already understood this style because they'd worked under me. 480 00:31:49.580 --> 00:31:53.860 I invented the Rondo. 481 00:31:53.980 --> 00:31:56.580 The ideal Rondo is four against two. 482 00:31:57.180 --> 00:32:01.100 You need to move constantly to find space. 483 00:32:01.220 --> 00:32:03.180 The player with the ball 484 00:32:03.300 --> 00:32:05.940 must have the option of a pass to his right, 485 00:32:06.060 --> 00:32:09.540 another to this left, and another through the middle, 486 00:32:09.660 --> 00:32:11.700 which I call the pass down the street. 487 00:32:11.820 --> 00:32:13.460 So in a match that becomes 488 00:32:13.580 --> 00:32:18.580 a sideways pass to feet or a through ball. 489 00:32:19.100 --> 00:32:22.100 So it's a very important tactical exercise. 490 00:32:22.500 --> 00:32:25.740 Barcelona always train in tight spaces. 491 00:32:25.860 --> 00:32:30.460 If the ball doesn't stay by your foot, it's gone, in training. 492 00:32:30.580 --> 00:32:33.860 That's why, after, when you drop those guys on the big field, 493 00:32:34.420 --> 00:32:36.620 they play as if they were in tight places. 494 00:32:36.740 --> 00:32:37.940 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 495 00:32:38.020 --> 00:32:41.740 If you pass, the player marking you doesn't have time to catch you. 496 00:32:42.340 --> 00:32:45.340 When he gets to you, it's always too late. 497 00:32:45.460 --> 00:32:50.420 That's how you take control. 498 00:32:55.700 --> 00:32:57.260 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 499 00:32:57.340 --> 00:32:59.420 XAVI: The ball is fired at you from every direction. 500 00:32:59.980 --> 00:33:04.060 And the light shows you where to pass the ball. 501 00:33:04.180 --> 00:33:08.500 So if the light comes on over there, I have to be in the right position. 502 00:33:08.620 --> 00:33:12.300 Left foot control, right foot pass. As few touches as possible. 503 00:33:12.420 --> 00:33:13.740 It's the role of a midfielder. 504 00:33:26.020 --> 00:33:28.300 You're being marked and pressed. 505 00:33:28.420 --> 00:33:30.620 You have to get your head up and find the solution. 506 00:33:31.140 --> 00:33:33.500 I learned all of that from the age of 11 or 12 507 00:33:33.940 --> 00:33:40.180 because I had fantastic coaches at Barça like Joan VilĂ and Albert Benaiges. 508 00:33:41.300 --> 00:33:43.260 My son plays for the youth team, 509 00:33:43.380 --> 00:33:46.380 and you get to realize as a parent, as well, 510 00:33:46.500 --> 00:33:48.060 what the club teaches. 511 00:33:48.180 --> 00:33:52.260 It's not only about how they play and how successful that you can be. 512 00:33:52.380 --> 00:33:55.740 It's how you conduct yourself, how to be a Barça player, 513 00:33:55.860 --> 00:34:00.380 how to live like a Barça player, how to respect what it means. 514 00:34:00.780 --> 00:34:02.340 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 515 00:34:02.420 --> 00:34:05.860 Having well brought up, polite kids, with good values... 516 00:34:05.980 --> 00:34:07.940 makes everything much easier. 517 00:34:08.060 --> 00:34:11.460 Just look at the squad we've got at the moment. 518 00:34:11.580 --> 00:34:13.380 They're all exceptional people. 519 00:34:13.500 --> 00:34:15.140 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 520 00:34:15.220 --> 00:34:20.140 We were lucky to have a generation of players who came from La Masia, 521 00:34:20.260 --> 00:34:26.260 like Xavi, Iniesta, PiquĂ©, Puyol, ValdĂ©s, Pedro, Leo, Busquets. 522 00:34:26.380 --> 00:34:28.980 They all achieved huge success in the first team. 523 00:34:30.140 --> 00:34:35.620 Tell me a team, apart maybe from Ajax, that dominated world football 524 00:34:35.740 --> 00:34:40.700 having that amount of youngsters from the academy in their team. 525 00:34:40.820 --> 00:34:43.860 There's a reason why youth players at Barcelona 526 00:34:43.980 --> 00:34:47.060 are the ones who best adjust to the first team at Barcelona. 527 00:34:47.180 --> 00:34:48.500 It's not a coincidence. 528 00:34:48.620 --> 00:34:51.460 It's not because they work with special machines 529 00:34:51.580 --> 00:34:52.980 that no other club has. 530 00:34:53.100 --> 00:34:55.500 It has to do with the way they're brought up, 531 00:34:55.620 --> 00:34:57.460 the values, their football values. 532 00:34:57.580 --> 00:35:01.140 What is the real essence of our football? 533 00:35:01.260 --> 00:35:03.180 Is it the result or is it how we play? 534 00:35:03.300 --> 00:35:04.460 It's how we play. 535 00:35:04.580 --> 00:35:07.540 And then, if you do that good, the results will come. 536 00:35:07.660 --> 00:35:09.260 INIESTA: We came here to play football. 537 00:35:09.380 --> 00:35:14.500 People realized that we were different and that we had talent. 538 00:35:14.620 --> 00:35:18.020 We were given the chance to develop from junior level 539 00:35:18.140 --> 00:35:19.780 through to the first team. 540 00:35:19.900 --> 00:35:22.860 It's a different way of understanding football, 541 00:35:22.980 --> 00:35:27.660 which gives you a better chance of success. 542 00:35:28.700 --> 00:35:30.740 When I joined Barcelona, 543 00:35:30.860 --> 00:35:31.940 the media asked me 544 00:35:32.060 --> 00:35:34.700 which player had surprised me most 545 00:35:34.820 --> 00:35:37.340 and I said, AndrĂ©s Iniesta, 546 00:35:37.460 --> 00:35:39.580 which surprised them 547 00:35:40.060 --> 00:35:44.900 because they all wanted me to say Messi or Ronaldinho. 548 00:35:45.020 --> 00:35:51.100 But the player who makes difficult things look easy is AndrĂ©s. 549 00:35:51.220 --> 00:35:53.700 I'd want AndrĂ©s and Xavi... 550 00:35:55.420 --> 00:36:00.140 in my team until the day they retire. 551 00:36:01.500 --> 00:36:02.900 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 552 00:36:02.980 --> 00:36:06.100 Barça's style of football is different to any team in the world. 553 00:36:06.220 --> 00:36:12.020 At Barça, there is a very specific way you have to play. 554 00:36:12.140 --> 00:36:16.380 You can't just boot the ball clear. 555 00:36:16.500 --> 00:36:22.860 Defenders have to control the ball, dribble and make the right pass. 556 00:36:22.980 --> 00:36:24.140 It's not easy. 557 00:36:24.260 --> 00:36:27.500 In the Premier League or at Real Madrid, you clear the ball. 558 00:36:27.620 --> 00:36:30.140 And that isn't a problem at most other clubs. 559 00:36:30.260 --> 00:36:33.900 But at Barça that's not enough. You have to do a lot more. 560 00:36:34.860 --> 00:36:36.180 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 561 00:36:36.260 --> 00:36:37.860 MESSI: It's a unique philosophy. 562 00:36:39.460 --> 00:36:44.940 And that's why it's so difficult for new players 563 00:36:45.060 --> 00:36:47.380 to adapt to our style of play. 564 00:36:47.500 --> 00:36:52.780 It might look easy but it's something we've been practicing for years. 565 00:36:52.900 --> 00:36:58.460 Most of us have been playing this way since we were kids. 566 00:36:58.580 --> 00:37:01.980 Playing for Barça isn't easy. 567 00:37:02.100 --> 00:37:04.620 GUDJOHNSEN: You see all these players that are here for a long time. 568 00:37:04.700 --> 00:37:08.300 They come through the youth system and walk into the first team, 569 00:37:08.420 --> 00:37:11.060 and it's as if they've been there for many, many years. 570 00:37:11.180 --> 00:37:12.420 Coming here wasn't so easy 571 00:37:12.540 --> 00:37:15.260 because there are certain elements of the game 572 00:37:15.380 --> 00:37:17.660 that you haven't been taught. 573 00:37:18.220 --> 00:37:20.140 You see players... 574 00:37:20.260 --> 00:37:24.620 I could tell you a few names but I'm not allowed. (LAUGHS) 575 00:37:24.740 --> 00:37:28.860 But world-class, spectacular footballers, 576 00:37:28.980 --> 00:37:30.820 who were completely lost. 577 00:37:30.940 --> 00:37:32.420 They ended up in hysterics. 578 00:37:32.540 --> 00:37:35.460 It was more the style of play that I had to adapt to. 579 00:37:35.580 --> 00:37:41.420 Staying on the line to make sure that you can free AndrĂ©s, 580 00:37:41.540 --> 00:37:42.900 make the run in behind, 581 00:37:43.020 --> 00:37:46.220 knowing that nine times or eight times out of ten, 582 00:37:46.340 --> 00:37:47.740 you will not get that ball. 583 00:37:47.860 --> 00:37:50.900 But if you don't make the run, AndrĂ©s doesn't get the ball. 584 00:37:56.740 --> 00:38:01.100 My first move when Abidal had the ball and he's about to control it, 585 00:38:01.220 --> 00:38:03.060 I always have to ask for the ball in behind. 586 00:38:04.180 --> 00:38:06.420 Every single time.

It must be twice as difficult. 625 00:40:16.660 --> 00:40:19.260 I felt this difference, that I needed to learn 626 00:40:19.380 --> 00:40:21.460 this language of football, 627 00:40:22.620 --> 00:40:24.780 how to create space, how to defend, 628 00:40:24.900 --> 00:40:29.020 and all the things that the players were already playing. 629 00:40:32.420 --> 00:40:34.300 We played a game against Osasuna 630 00:40:34.420 --> 00:40:39.300 and Osasuna were not defending well that area. 631 00:40:39.420 --> 00:40:41.660 The guy there was not tucking in well. 632 00:40:42.740 --> 00:40:46.780 So that day Chygrynskiy played because he had a great left foot. 633 00:40:46.900 --> 00:40:49.260 He could ping the ball well with his left and right foot. 634 00:40:49.380 --> 00:40:50.620 But an amazing left foot. 635 00:40:50.740 --> 00:40:54.020 We were going to always play in the center back 636 00:40:54.140 --> 00:40:57.220 that was going to play across for Xavi. 637 00:40:57.340 --> 00:41:00.140 Whenever we were moving, Xavi stayed in that zone. 638 00:41:01.060 --> 00:41:02.620 So that was the exit. 639 00:41:02.740 --> 00:41:04.300 But what was funny that day 640 00:41:04.420 --> 00:41:09.060 is that Chygrynskiy twice played the ball long for Zlatan. 641 00:41:09.180 --> 00:41:10.180 And it was on. 642 00:41:10.300 --> 00:41:12.620 Zlatan nearly went one v one with the keeper. 643 00:41:15.180 --> 00:41:17.140 Pep took him off at half-time... 644 00:41:19.620 --> 00:41:21.940 ...because he didn't respect the pattern. 645 00:41:22.060 --> 00:41:27.140 That's the way he studied that team and that's the way he asked us to play. 646 00:41:27.260 --> 00:41:31.740 The vocabulary of Guardiola or my father is building up from behind, 647 00:41:31.860 --> 00:41:32.860 possession, 648 00:41:33.820 --> 00:41:37.340 the speed of the ball is more important than the speed of the legs, 649 00:41:37.940 --> 00:41:41.580 always play attractive football to keep your fans happy. 650 00:41:41.900 --> 00:41:44.140 I mean, there are so many similarities. 651 00:41:44.260 --> 00:41:46.020 GUDJOHNSEN: When you play for Barcelona 652 00:41:46.140 --> 00:41:47.780 and especially after Guardiola came, 653 00:41:47.900 --> 00:41:52.100 that's where you really learn how to play the Barcelona way. 654 00:41:52.220 --> 00:41:57.020 It's 11, not just the strikers or not just the midfielders. 655 00:41:57.140 --> 00:42:00.940 The 11 players have to participate to create the chance. 656 00:42:01.060 --> 00:42:06.100 Basically, what we want to do is try to put the ball to the strikers 657 00:42:06.220 --> 00:42:09.380 with a really good pass, so that they can have one on one. 658 00:42:09.500 --> 00:42:12.700 But obviously if you pass them a long ball 659 00:42:12.820 --> 00:42:16.180 that's not really easy to control, 660 00:42:16.300 --> 00:42:19.020 the striker will not do his job. 661 00:42:19.140 --> 00:42:23.060 It's all about starting from the back, to the strikers. 662 00:42:24.740 --> 00:42:25.820 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 663 00:42:25.900 --> 00:42:27.900 Pep took risks all over the pitch. 664 00:42:28.020 --> 00:42:33.460 I think he made two great innovations as our coach, 665 00:42:34.020 --> 00:42:36.300 One was pressing after losing the ball 666 00:42:36.740 --> 00:42:39.940 and the other was playing out from the back. 667 00:42:43.780 --> 00:42:45.100 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 668 00:42:45.180 --> 00:42:47.260 I remember my first conversation with Guardiola as coach. 669 00:42:47.380 --> 00:42:49.940 It was in his office at the Camp Nou. 670 00:42:50.500 --> 00:42:54.460 He had a tactics board with two small magnets 671 00:42:54.580 --> 00:42:59.220 either side of the goal, just outside of the box. 672 00:42:59.340 --> 00:43:02.180 He said, "Do you know which players these two are?" 673 00:43:02.820 --> 00:43:05.020 I said, "Nope." 674 00:43:05.140 --> 00:43:07.620 And he said, "These are your center-backs." 675 00:43:09.460 --> 00:43:12.620 I had no idea what he was talking about. It sounded Chinese. 676 00:43:12.740 --> 00:43:18.980 And he said, "When you've got the ball, this is where I want them to be." 677 00:43:20.580 --> 00:43:23.140 I thought he was crazy. 678 00:43:23.900 --> 00:43:29.780 And then he said, "You'll pass to them, and from there we'll build the play." 679 00:43:29.900 --> 00:43:33.420 I still thought he was completely mad, 680 00:43:33.540 --> 00:43:37.300 but given that I'm a bit crazy myself, I felt in tune with him. 681 00:43:37.420 --> 00:43:40.060 So I told him the defenders would have to be brave 682 00:43:40.180 --> 00:43:43.180 and want the ball. 683 00:43:43.300 --> 00:43:46.540 And Pep said, "Don't worry, that's my job. 684 00:43:46.660 --> 00:43:48.180 I'll make sure they want it." 685 00:43:48.660 --> 00:43:49.940 That's how it started. 686 00:43:50.580 --> 00:43:52.420 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 687 00:43:52.500 --> 00:43:58.460 PINTO: Both Pep and Tito took this idea one step further. 688 00:43:59.100 --> 00:44:04.980 They told us not to worry 689 00:44:05.100 --> 00:44:06.620 because if we made a mistake, 690 00:44:06.740 --> 00:44:08.580 they would take responsibility. 691 00:44:08.700 --> 00:44:11.140 All they asked was that we play the ball out from the back 692 00:44:11.260 --> 00:44:17.780 because that was the way Barça had to play football. 693 00:44:19.140 --> 00:44:20.580 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 694 00:44:20.660 --> 00:44:24.100 He would show us how he wanted us to play the ball out from the back. 695 00:44:24.220 --> 00:44:26.180 He said that by doing this, we'd score. 696 00:44:26.300 --> 00:44:29.260 So why would I stop playing that way if I made a mistake? 697 00:44:29.380 --> 00:44:32.940 We both knew that it was risky. 698 00:44:33.060 --> 00:44:36.860 But he would say, "Don't worry if you make a mistake. 699 00:44:37.380 --> 00:44:39.860 Just keep playing exactly the same way." 700 00:44:40.580 --> 00:44:42.140 (CHEERING) 701 00:44:58.660 --> 00:44:59.700 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 702 00:44:59.780 --> 00:45:02.860 We believe it's about much more than just winning. 703 00:45:02.980 --> 00:45:05.820 The message isn't "win, win, win". 704 00:45:05.940 --> 00:45:07.700 Winning is a result of how you play. 705 00:45:07.820 --> 00:45:09.780 The philosophy is the most important thing. 706 00:45:10.260 --> 00:45:13.420 You know you've done something when people just want to watch you play. 707 00:45:13.500 --> 00:45:14.500 Not win. 708 00:45:15.300 --> 00:45:19.300 When you talk about Barcelona, you're talking about the way they play, 709 00:45:19.420 --> 00:45:20.980 the beauty of the game. 710 00:45:28.100 --> 00:45:31.820 You go home and you go like, "You should watch the second goal... 711 00:45:31.940 --> 00:45:34.460 and, by the way, they won." 712 00:45:44.340 --> 00:45:45.860 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 713 00:45:45.940 --> 00:45:49.820 There was a sign on the door of the coaches' room, which said, 714 00:45:49.940 --> 00:45:56.300 "If you're offering us a youth player who's less than 1.8 meters tall, 715 00:45:56.420 --> 00:45:57.700 turn around and go home." 716 00:45:57.820 --> 00:46:02.180 It was Cruyff who changed that, when he returned as manager. 717 00:46:02.300 --> 00:46:08.460 He believed that talent was the key and height was irrelevant. 718 00:46:11.020 --> 00:46:12.220 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 719 00:46:12.300 --> 00:46:13.580 From then on, players were judged only on their quality. 720 00:46:13.700 --> 00:46:17.500 Is he good or not?

(LAUGHS) 1056 01:08:51.220 --> 01:08:52.380 He honestly said that. 1057 01:09:00.620 --> 01:09:01.940 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1058 01:09:02.180 --> 01:09:04.020 When I heard that Guardiola would be our new manager, 1059 01:09:04.140 --> 01:09:07.180 I knew that everything would go well. 1060 01:09:07.860 --> 01:09:10.340 I hadn't worked with him as a coach but we were teammates 1061 01:09:10.460 --> 01:09:13.860 and I knew what a perfectionist he was. 1062 01:09:13.980 --> 01:09:15.780 And I thought, this is going to be great. 1063 01:09:15.900 --> 01:09:17.780 -(CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICK) -(CHATTER) 1064 01:09:17.900 --> 01:09:21.220 HUNTER: In retrospect, it's remarkable, but because of Euro 2008, 1065 01:09:21.340 --> 01:09:25.020 Guardiola's appointment had garnered very little media coverage in Spain 1066 01:09:25.140 --> 01:09:26.860 until the day of his presentation 1067 01:09:26.980 --> 01:09:31.100 when he sits there, lean, young, full head of hair, 1068 01:09:31.220 --> 01:09:33.540 the returning local hero and says, 1069 01:09:33.660 --> 01:09:37.620 "Everything changes." Ronaldinho, out! Deco, out! 1070 01:09:37.740 --> 01:09:41.540 Eto'o, out! Or, at best, third choice striker. 1071 01:09:41.660 --> 01:09:45.220 It was his statement of: "I'm in charge." 1072 01:09:45.340 --> 01:09:46.660 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1073 01:09:46.860 --> 01:09:50.140 Just imagine what Samuel was like when he heard that. 1074 01:09:50.260 --> 01:09:55.780 It was like an explosion. 1075 01:09:55.900 --> 01:10:01.820 (CROWD CHANTING) 1076 01:10:01.900 --> 01:10:03.380 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1077 01:10:03.500 --> 01:10:04.860 Given the kind of player I was, 1078 01:10:04.980 --> 01:10:07.620 and considering what I'd done for the club, 1079 01:10:07.740 --> 01:10:11.420 it would have been nice for Pep to have called me with the news. 1080 01:10:11.540 --> 01:10:13.580 It's always better to be straight with people. 1081 01:10:13.700 --> 01:10:15.900 It was a big shock to find out that way. 1082 01:10:17.220 --> 01:10:18.700 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1083 01:10:18.940 --> 01:10:22.340 Tactically, he's the best in the world. I've always said that. 1084 01:10:22.460 --> 01:10:24.420 He understands the game better than anyone, 1085 01:10:24.540 --> 01:10:25.980 but I'll be even better 1086 01:10:26.700 --> 01:10:28.500 because I'll be up front with people. 1087 01:10:29.180 --> 01:10:30.540 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1088 01:10:30.700 --> 01:10:32.740 LAPORTA: Samuel took training seriously. He trained as hard as he played. 1089 01:10:33.780 --> 01:10:35.620 Every manager loved Eto'o 1090 01:10:35.740 --> 01:10:40.460 but at training, it was all or nothing with him 1091 01:10:40.580 --> 01:10:42.540 and he often caused problems. 1092 01:10:42.660 --> 01:10:47.180 I remember Rijkaard told me we had to get rid of Samuel 1093 01:10:47.300 --> 01:10:52.260 because he grabbed one of the assistants by the scruff of the neck 1094 01:10:52.380 --> 01:10:54.660 for giving him offside in training. 1095 01:10:54.780 --> 01:10:57.180 But that passion is also good. 1096 01:10:57.660 --> 01:11:01.020 I remember the pre-season training camp in St Andrews. 1097 01:11:01.140 --> 01:11:02.460 We were all curious. 1098 01:11:02.580 --> 01:11:04.780 We'd sold Deco and Ronaldinho, 1099 01:11:05.420 --> 01:11:07.060 but I was keen to keep Eto'o, 1100 01:11:07.180 --> 01:11:10.900 and I told him that I'd try to keep him. 1101 01:11:11.020 --> 01:11:12.140 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1102 01:11:12.220 --> 01:11:13.260 He was brilliant during that pre-season. 1103 01:11:13.380 --> 01:11:16.180 He worked harder and ran more than anyone else. 1104 01:11:17.660 --> 01:11:21.340 In the pre-season games he scored more than anyone. 1105 01:11:22.580 --> 01:11:25.620 So the captains went to see Pep... 1106 01:11:25.740 --> 01:11:27.860 I hope Pep doesn't get annoyed I'm sharing this! 1107 01:11:27.980 --> 01:11:32.060 They told Pep that... (EXHALES) Eto'o would be a big help that season. 1108 01:11:33.020 --> 01:11:35.540 The guy they wanted to kick out saved them. 1109 01:11:35.660 --> 01:11:37.820 Everyone talks about Messi these days, 1110 01:11:37.940 --> 01:11:40.820 but the one who made the difference at Barça back then 1111 01:11:40.940 --> 01:11:42.900 wasn't Ronaldinho. It was Eto'o. 1112 01:11:43.540 --> 01:11:46.660 When things got difficult, it was me they all looked to. 1113 01:11:50.220 --> 01:11:52.620 The team could have played without a manager. 1114 01:11:53.100 --> 01:11:56.580 Guardiola's job was to reinstall a desire to win, 1115 01:11:56.700 --> 01:11:59.580 and he achieved that with his team talks. 1116 01:12:08.460 --> 01:12:09.860 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1117 01:12:09.980 --> 01:12:12.140 After his first team talk in St Andrews... 1118 01:12:13.460 --> 01:12:16.380 I knew that something big was about to happen. 1119 01:12:16.500 --> 01:12:20.820 I'd never heard anyone convey a message like that before. 1120 01:12:20.940 --> 01:12:26.340 At that moment, everyone knew that things would go well. 1121 01:12:26.740 --> 01:12:27.860 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1122 01:12:27.940 --> 01:12:28.980 Pep spoke to the players a lot. 1123 01:12:29.100 --> 01:12:32.100 Maybe his most famous team talk was when he said, 1124 01:12:32.220 --> 01:12:36.060 "You can miss a penalty or mess up a pass. 1125 01:12:36.180 --> 01:12:37.340 "You're only human. 1126 01:12:37.460 --> 01:12:44.020 "But I'll never forgive you if you don't give me 100%." 1127 01:12:45.580 --> 01:12:46.980 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1128 01:12:47.060 --> 01:12:48.820 There are very few people who communicate as well as he does. 1129 01:12:48.940 --> 01:12:54.500 He makes his players believe in what they have to do. 1130 01:12:54.620 --> 01:12:57.420 And he convinces you that it will work. 1131 01:12:57.540 --> 01:12:59.380 From the first minute, 1132 01:12:59.500 --> 01:13:06.140 we all believed that a change was coming 1133 01:13:06.260 --> 01:13:08.180 and that we could achieve big things. 1134 01:13:08.300 --> 01:13:09.660 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1135 01:13:09.740 --> 01:13:12.900 Pep's team talks were exactly what I needed. 1136 01:13:14.740 --> 01:13:17.380 He was so passionate when he spoke. 1137 01:13:17.940 --> 01:13:19.260 I love a challenge. 1138 01:13:19.380 --> 01:13:23.700 I really like having to work at something important. 1139 01:13:23.820 --> 01:13:27.100 So when they told me everything was going to change at Barça, 1140 01:13:27.220 --> 01:13:29.860 that a new coach and new players were arriving, 1141 01:13:29.980 --> 01:13:32.180 I decided that was where I wanted to be. 1142 01:13:32.660 --> 01:13:33.780 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1143 01:13:33.980 --> 01:13:35.180 XAVI: I joined up with the team for pre-season 1144 01:13:35.300 --> 01:13:36.860 and I needed to talk to Guardiola. 1145 01:13:36.980 --> 01:13:40.580 I told him I'd had offers to join other teams. 1146 01:13:41.460 --> 01:13:43.940 Ten seconds is what it took. (LAUGHS) 1147 01:13:44.060 --> 01:13:47.740 He told me he had three or four line-ups in mind 1148 01:13:48.260 --> 01:13:50.540 and he couldn't imagine a single one without me in it. 1149 01:13:50.660 --> 01:13:54.380 I told my brother, my agent and everyone else 1150 01:13:54.500 --> 01:13:56.260 not to listen to any other offers. 1151 01:13:57.300 --> 01:13:59.260 GUDJOHNSEN: It was a good start in pre-season 1152 01:13:59.380 --> 01:14:00.780 and the freshness about the team 1153 01:14:00.900 --> 01:14:03.380 and a lot of hard work and well-prepared, 1154 01:14:03.500 --> 01:14:05.980 but the season itself didn't start that well. 1155 01:14:14.220 --> 01:14:18.860 I actually saw that game with my father, here at home. 1156 01:14:18.980 --> 01:14:20.700 And they lost to Numancia. 1157 01:14:20.820 --> 01:14:23.980 And immediately the attacks, "He's not prepared for this." 1158 01:14:24.100 --> 01:14:26.780 My father said, "It's one of the best games in years!" 1159 01:14:26.900 --> 01:14:31.180 You know, come on! Give us a break! It was not the best game. 1160 01:14:31.580 --> 01:14:34.820 Most of us, including me, probably saw the game and said, 1161 01:14:34.940 --> 01:14:36.740 "Wow! This doesn't smell good." 1162 01:14:37.180 --> 01:14:40.220 My father never looked at the end product of 90 minutes. 1163 01:14:40.340 --> 01:14:43.420 My father looked at the end product of many years to come. 1164 01:14:47.660 --> 01:14:50.340 (CROWD CHEERING) 1165 01:14:54.340 --> 01:14:56.460 GUDJOHNSEN: It was really a big moment for myself, 1166 01:14:56.580 --> 01:15:00.660 and it was probably an even bigger moment for the team and for the club 1167 01:15:00.780 --> 01:15:02.820 because we needed that victory. 1168 01:15:03.180 --> 01:15:05.460 If we'd drawn that game, 1169 01:15:05.580 --> 01:15:08.540 the question marks would have started flying around. 1170 01:15:09.860 --> 01:15:13.180 And once we found that click, once we got that first victory, 1171 01:15:14.820 --> 01:15:16.140 there was no stopping us. 1172 01:15:33.180 --> 01:15:34.620 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1173 01:15:34.820 --> 01:15:39.820 Guardiola taught us so much, but he also explained why we did things. 1174 01:15:39.940 --> 01:15:42.300 Most of us already understood the reasons 1175 01:15:42.420 --> 01:15:45.860 because we'd spent years at Barça, 1176 01:15:45.980 --> 01:15:49.060 but the guys from other clubs noticed a huge change 1177 01:15:49.180 --> 01:15:50.980 when Guardiola took over. 1178 01:15:54.980 --> 01:15:56.380 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1179 01:15:56.540 --> 01:16:01.420 He was the coach who completely changed my outlook. 1180 01:16:02.700 --> 01:16:08.180 When I arrived here he showed me an entirely new way 1181 01:16:08.300 --> 01:16:11.940 of seeing, playing, and thinking about football. 1182 01:16:12.900 --> 01:16:14.180 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1183 01:16:14.260 --> 01:16:18.220 It always reminded me of the tactics of a basketball team, 1184 01:16:18.340 --> 01:16:21.540 when they have the ball and start signaling to each other 1185 01:16:21.660 --> 01:16:23.900 that they're going to try a certain play. 1186 01:16:24.020 --> 01:16:25.420 It was a bit like that. 1187 01:16:28.180 --> 01:16:29.300 It was fantastic. 1188 01:16:29.420 --> 01:16:31.500 I was never allowed to kick the ball long, 1189 01:16:31.620 --> 01:16:35.580 and from the very first minute I was involved in the tactics. 1190 01:16:35.700 --> 01:16:38.340 So I had to really concentrate all the time, 1191 01:16:38.460 --> 01:16:45.300 which meant every match flew by really fast. 1192 01:16:45.420 --> 01:16:49.620 It was great because I'd been used to a more direct style of football 1193 01:16:49.740 --> 01:16:55.180 and sometimes all I'd be thinking about was how boring the games were. 1194 01:16:55.260 --> 01:16:56.620 (LAUGHS) 1195 01:16:56.700 --> 01:16:57.900 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1196 01:16:58.020 --> 01:17:00.820 I was in my element because Guardiola and I shared the same philosophy. 1197 01:17:00.940 --> 01:17:05.940 I'd think, don't clear it, pass it, and Guardiola would say exactly that. 1198 01:17:06.060 --> 01:17:12.060 But my football philosophy isn't the same as Abidal's or Henry's 1199 01:17:12.180 --> 01:17:14.940 or Hleb's or Yaya Toure's. 1200 01:17:15.060 --> 01:17:20.780 They thought they were playing well, and at other clubs they would have been. 1201 01:17:20.900 --> 01:17:23.580 Not at Barça.

Let me see it. 1203 01:17:27.180 --> 01:17:29.580 Let me put my pride on the side, also. 1204 01:17:29.700 --> 01:17:34.100 Because that team had a lot of guys that are all kings in their country. 1205 01:17:34.220 --> 01:17:37.460 To tell a guy that used to do maybe stuff or whatever, 1206 01:17:37.580 --> 01:17:40.500 "No, stay there. Don't do that. Make that run for him." 1207 01:17:40.940 --> 01:17:44.660 "What? What do you mean? I can play football too!" 1208 01:17:45.180 --> 01:17:46.860 LAPORTA: Pep's methods were different. 1209 01:17:46.980 --> 01:17:49.820 He was very hands-on, always intervening. 1210 01:17:49.940 --> 01:17:53.020 I remember Abidal and a few others coming to me and saying, 1211 01:17:53.140 --> 01:17:55.340 "This guy's changing everything!" 1212 01:17:56.580 --> 01:17:57.620 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1213 01:17:57.700 --> 01:17:58.980 I wasn't some 15-year-old kid. 1214 01:17:59.700 --> 01:18:03.380 If you treat me with respect, I'll do the same in return, 1215 01:18:03.500 --> 01:18:05.420 but if not, why should I respect you? 1216 01:18:05.540 --> 01:18:08.260 So I said to Pep, "You can't speak to me like that." 1217 01:18:08.380 --> 01:18:11.300 I went to the president and told him, "If this continues, I'm off." 1218 01:18:11.420 --> 01:18:15.580 Abi came from Lyon, where he had another way of playing. 1219 01:18:16.980 --> 01:18:18.820 Look at the Abidal that arrived, 1220 01:18:19.740 --> 01:18:22.340 and look at the Abidal three years after. 1221 01:18:23.060 --> 01:18:26.180 Crosses, putting the ball down and passing it out. 1222 01:18:26.300 --> 01:18:28.380 Before he would have cleared it straight away. 1223 01:18:28.500 --> 01:18:32.180 He wouldn't have been that composed in the last third. 1224 01:18:33.060 --> 01:18:34.180 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1225 01:18:34.340 --> 01:18:37.860 ALVES: I think Pep's a football genius. 1226 01:18:37.980 --> 01:18:44.460 Sometimes he can be a bit controlling, checking every last detail. 1227 01:18:44.580 --> 01:18:46.460 Some guys accept and respect that, 1228 01:18:46.580 --> 01:18:51.020 but there are others who say, "You know where you can stick that." 1229 01:18:51.140 --> 01:18:53.300 I arrived here. I was 21. 1230 01:18:53.420 --> 01:18:57.460 And for me it was like love and hate at the same time 1231 01:18:57.580 --> 01:19:02.060 because every minute of your life, you have to be focused on football. 1232 01:19:02.180 --> 01:19:05.220 Twelve o'clock you have to go to bed to sleep. 1233 01:19:05.340 --> 01:19:09.500 You have to eat well. He wants to control you in every way. 1234 01:19:09.620 --> 01:19:13.220 "Don't go and watch the tennis, don't stay under the sun, 1235 01:19:13.340 --> 01:19:15.780 don't go to the Formula 1, don't go to this. 1236 01:19:15.900 --> 01:19:17.100 We're here on a mission." 1237 01:19:17.220 --> 01:19:21.220 He wanted to know everything. What we ate, what we... Whatever! 1238 01:19:21.780 --> 01:19:23.380 PIQUÉ: He was so obsessed 1239 01:19:23.500 --> 01:19:29.620 that sometimes we had some arguments between him and me. 1240 01:19:29.740 --> 01:19:30.900 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1241 01:19:31.020 --> 01:19:32.700 PUYOL: Gerard is one of my best friends, 1242 01:19:32.780 --> 01:19:36.740 but I believe a manager has to be like that. 1243 01:19:36.860 --> 01:19:39.420 During training, we always had to give 100%, 1244 01:19:39.540 --> 01:19:41.820 but I'd done that my entire career. 1245 01:19:41.940 --> 01:19:44.340 In my opinion, that's how football should be. 1246 01:19:44.580 --> 01:19:46.500 On the one hand, he was very demanding. 1247 01:19:46.620 --> 01:19:50.900 We all had to have lunch at the training ground every day. 1248 01:19:51.020 --> 01:19:53.060 He controlled our weight, what we ate. 1249 01:19:53.180 --> 01:19:56.460 He completely revolutionized the team's diet. 1250 01:19:56.580 --> 01:19:59.820 But on the other hand, he gave us the night off before matches. 1251 01:20:00.740 --> 01:20:04.380 As a player, he always complained that we spent too much time in hotels. 1252 01:20:04.500 --> 01:20:05.620 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1253 01:20:05.740 --> 01:20:08.860 Initially, it seemed like a strange decision 1254 01:20:08.980 --> 01:20:11.020 because we weren't used to it, 1255 01:20:11.140 --> 01:20:14.980 but I think it was one of the best decisions he made. 1256 01:20:15.100 --> 01:20:18.340 For me where Pep was, at times, ahead of the game... 1257 01:20:19.340 --> 01:20:22.380 The fact that, Champions League final, 1258 01:20:22.500 --> 01:20:27.460 in the hotel: family, kids, wives. 1259 01:20:27.540 --> 01:20:29.420 My brother was in my room, midnight. 1260 01:20:30.060 --> 01:20:35.580 Girlfriend, friends, we're just talking, I made a cup of coffee, chilling. 1261 01:20:35.700 --> 01:20:37.420 You play for any other team, 1262 01:20:37.540 --> 01:20:42.780 "Don't do this, don't do that. No. You have to concentrate." 1263 01:20:42.900 --> 01:20:44.220 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1264 01:20:44.340 --> 01:20:49.020 We were lucky because Pep had only recently retired 1265 01:20:49.140 --> 01:20:53.620 and he understood what the life of a top footballer was like. 1266 01:20:54.980 --> 01:20:56.340 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1267 01:20:56.420 --> 01:20:59.180 We'd go to every training session and match with a spring in our step 1268 01:20:59.300 --> 01:21:01.940 because he was treating us well. He understood us. 1269 01:21:02.940 --> 01:21:07.020 HENRY: Listen, I say it every single time to my friends. 1270 01:21:07.620 --> 01:21:09.580 When the ref was blowing the whistle, 1271 01:21:11.300 --> 01:21:13.860 I used to look at the time and say, "Already?" 1272 01:21:13.980 --> 01:21:16.140 I didn't want the game to end. 1273 01:21:16.740 --> 01:21:20.660 I didn't want the game to end.

I've watched that goal a hundred times. 1315 01:23:57.780 --> 01:24:03.380 So I always remember this image. I cannot remember what I felt. 1316 01:24:03.500 --> 01:24:07.220 Obviously, it was like an unbelievable feeling 1317 01:24:07.340 --> 01:24:09.580 because it was a tremendous game. 1318 01:24:10.460 --> 01:24:11.740 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1319 01:24:11.820 --> 01:24:14.980 But the 6-2 was extra special because of our tactics. 1320 01:24:16.700 --> 01:24:19.420 That's when that fake nine whole thing started. 1321 01:24:22.100 --> 01:24:23.220 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1322 01:24:23.300 --> 01:24:24.700 Pep called me the day before the game 1323 01:24:24.820 --> 01:24:27.420 and told me to come down to the training ground. 1324 01:24:28.740 --> 01:24:30.700 He was keen to discuss a new position. 1325 01:24:30.820 --> 01:24:33.740 He'd been watching videos of games with Tito. 1326 01:24:33.860 --> 01:24:36.420 He said he wanted to try something different. 1327 01:24:36.540 --> 01:24:39.460 The red glasses are Barça, the others are Real Madrid. 1328 01:24:39.580 --> 01:24:41.100 Pep changed our system 1329 01:24:41.220 --> 01:24:44.660 and told Henry to play between the right-back and center-back, 1330 01:24:44.780 --> 01:24:47.260 with Eto'o between the center-back and left-back. 1331 01:24:47.380 --> 01:24:51.140 Guardiola had analyzed the Madrid center-backs 1332 01:24:51.260 --> 01:24:55.940 and noticed they never came out to press the number nine. 1333 01:24:58.060 --> 01:25:01.100 Thanks to the false nine, we outnumbered them in midfield 1334 01:25:01.220 --> 01:25:03.020 when Messi dropped back. 1335 01:25:03.140 --> 01:25:06.380 We always had an extra man. 1336 01:25:07.260 --> 01:25:11.140 Pep said we'd outnumber them throughout the entire game. 1337 01:25:11.220 --> 01:25:12.300 He was right. 1338 01:25:12.420 --> 01:25:14.060 We'd never played that way, 1339 01:25:14.180 --> 01:25:15.500 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1340 01:25:15.660 --> 01:25:19.900 so Madrid hadn't studied the possibility of us playing like that. 1341 01:25:20.180 --> 01:25:22.660 The center-backs didn't know whether to mark me or not, 1342 01:25:22.780 --> 01:25:27.220 which meant I had lots of space when I dropped back. 1343 01:25:27.340 --> 01:25:30.140 And as soon as the defenders came out to close me down, 1344 01:25:30.260 --> 01:25:32.860 Eto'o and Henry made runs in behind. 1345 01:25:32.980 --> 01:25:35.380 That's what happened for Henry's first goal. 1346 01:25:35.500 --> 01:25:38.460 It was a great performance. 1347 01:25:38.580 --> 01:25:41.420 And it worked out because on that goal that Leo gave me 1348 01:25:41.540 --> 01:25:42.980 that's exactly what happened. 1349 01:25:43.100 --> 01:25:46.780 He was in a position where they didn't know if they have to come and get him, 1350 01:25:46.900 --> 01:25:50.340 but I'm running in behind, Sam was running on the other side, 1351 01:25:50.460 --> 01:25:51.860 and it worked out. 1352 01:25:54.300 --> 01:25:55.660 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1353 01:25:55.740 --> 01:26:00.100 It wasn't so robotic because we also improvised. 1354 01:26:00.220 --> 01:26:02.300 Robots would be like, 1355 01:26:02.420 --> 01:26:06.020 (ROBOT VOICE) "I.

We'll score at the end." 1368 01:26:58.700 --> 01:27:04.900 There I was watching it and I'm like, "Oh, my gosh!

This is his last year." 1503 01:35:12.860 --> 01:35:14.500 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1504 01:35:14.580 --> 01:35:16.900 Even geniuses make mistakes and Pep definitely got that wrong 1505 01:35:17.020 --> 01:35:20.860 because it felt like we didn't matter to him anymore. 1506 01:35:20.940 --> 01:35:22.220 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1507 01:35:22.340 --> 01:35:27.140 We didn't know what was going on with Pep, 1508 01:35:27.260 --> 01:35:31.500 which caused some uncertainty within the group. 1509 01:35:32.500 --> 01:35:36.660 Pep usually renewed his contract in February or March, 1510 01:35:36.780 --> 01:35:39.620 but February passed with no news. 1511 01:35:39.740 --> 01:35:43.540 Then March passed and we still didn't know anything. 1512 01:35:43.660 --> 01:35:45.060 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1513 01:35:45.140 --> 01:35:47.420 I really struggled to understand what was happening. 1514 01:35:49.820 --> 01:35:54.460 And we had a few bust-ups about it. 1515 01:35:54.580 --> 01:35:58.500 That year, if Pep had told me to jump from the Camp Nou stands, 1516 01:35:58.620 --> 01:36:02.860 I'd have sprinted down the steps.

Things had gone well and we'd won! 1537 01:37:34.700 --> 01:37:38.020 Surely that's what you hold onto, that's what you remember. 1538 01:37:38.140 --> 01:37:42.300 But no, they didn't care about what we'd achieved. 1539 01:37:42.420 --> 01:37:46.860 All they did was focus on the negatives. 1540 01:37:47.580 --> 01:37:49.700 I think the club's got a problem. 1541 01:37:51.060 --> 01:37:52.260 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1542 01:37:52.340 --> 01:37:53.780 ALVES: Barça is a bit strange in that respect. 1543 01:37:53.900 --> 01:37:56.780 I've learned the most important thing in life is to be grateful 1544 01:37:56.900 --> 01:38:00.820 to the people who make a difference in your life. 1545 01:38:00.940 --> 01:38:04.940 After everything he'd done for the club, 1546 01:38:05.060 --> 01:38:08.340 Guardiola didn't get the recognition he deserved. 1547 01:38:13.780 --> 01:38:15.100 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1548 01:38:15.180 --> 01:38:16.820 Announcing his departure at a press conference 1549 01:38:16.940 --> 01:38:20.340 and then immediately revealing who would replace him 1550 01:38:20.460 --> 01:38:25.700 in front of the whole squad and the board members... 1551 01:38:26.460 --> 01:38:29.980 I don't think it was the right way to say goodbye to the boss. 1552 01:38:31.100 --> 01:38:32.220 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1553 01:38:32.300 --> 01:38:34.420 On the advice of the director of football, Andoni Zubizarreta 1554 01:38:35.260 --> 01:38:37.620 and after consulting the board, 1555 01:38:37.740 --> 01:38:41.140 I can announce that the next Barça coach will be Tito Vilanova. 1556 01:38:42.980 --> 01:38:44.260 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1557 01:38:44.340 --> 01:38:46.420 I think they should build a statue of Pep at the Camp Nou. 1558 01:38:47.540 --> 01:38:50.220 In the president's box. (CHUCKLES) 1559 01:38:50.340 --> 01:38:51.940 That's what I think anyway. 1560 01:38:52.060 --> 01:38:53.540 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1561 01:38:53.620 --> 01:38:55.660 The best way to remember Guardiola's Barça 1562 01:38:55.780 --> 01:38:58.580 is to put on a DVD and watch the matches we played 1563 01:38:58.700 --> 01:39:02.620 during his four seasons here as manager. 1564 01:39:11.300 --> 01:39:12.340 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1565 01:39:12.420 --> 01:39:13.580 VALDÉS: He invented a new way of playing. 1566 01:39:13.660 --> 01:39:15.860 He had a special group of players, 1567 01:39:15.980 --> 01:39:18.220 but he knew exactly what to do with them. 1568 01:39:18.860 --> 01:39:21.140 He followed the philosophy of his maestro, 1569 01:39:21.260 --> 01:39:23.260 the man who taught us all, Johan Cruyff. 1570 01:39:46.260 --> 01:39:47.660 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1571 01:39:47.820 --> 01:39:49.500 ALVES: It's a bit like the best cars. 1572 01:39:49.620 --> 01:39:52.540 Cruyff was the first great model, the Mark 1 1573 01:39:52.660 --> 01:39:54.220 and Pep is the Mark 2. 1574 01:39:56.820 --> 01:40:02.660 But I think Xavi will be in the same league 1575 01:40:02.780 --> 01:40:04.740 when he returns as coach. 1576 01:40:04.860 --> 01:40:10.460 When he comes back, he'll be the Mark 3. 1577 01:40:11.900 --> 01:40:16.180 JORDI: In my father's mind, he was always el listo de la clase, 1578 01:40:16.300 --> 01:40:19.580 the intelligent one of the class, the clever guy. 1579 01:40:19.700 --> 01:40:21.980 The only problem will be that when already now 1580 01:40:22.100 --> 01:40:25.540 everybody is pumping this up, then the pressure's too high. 1581 01:40:25.900 --> 01:40:28.260 But if he follows his way, little by little, 1582 01:40:28.380 --> 01:40:30.740 calm, like Pep did, then you're ready for it. 1583 01:40:30.860 --> 01:40:33.780 And I hope Xavi one day will do that. 1584 01:40:33.860 --> 01:40:35.060 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1585 01:40:35.140 --> 01:40:36.460 Barça's future needs to be in the hands 1586 01:40:36.580 --> 01:40:42.660 of someone with Xavi's talent and vision. 1587 01:40:44.140 --> 01:40:45.580 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1588 01:40:45.700 --> 01:40:50.420 I've got no doubt that he'll be back as a coach one day. 1589 01:40:50.540 --> 01:40:54.820 He deserves the chance 1590 01:40:54.940 --> 01:40:57.060 because of the type of player he was here. 1591 01:40:57.180 --> 01:40:59.340 He'll make an amazing manager. 1592 01:40:59.460 --> 01:41:02.860 As a player he saw the whole picture from the pitch. 1593 01:41:02.980 --> 01:41:05.620 I'm sure from the side-lines, he'll see it even clearer. 1594 01:41:05.740 --> 01:41:07.260 He'll be back one day. 1595 01:41:07.380 --> 01:41:12.820 I don't know when but he wants to come back. 1596 01:41:12.940 --> 01:41:17.940 And he has the same football philosophy as Pep. 1597 01:41:18.700 --> 01:41:20.020 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1598 01:41:20.140 --> 01:41:21.700 The world is watching us because they see we're different. 1599 01:41:21.820 --> 01:41:24.420 And they're right, we are. 1600 01:41:24.540 --> 01:41:27.220 But now we have a huge responsibility 1601 01:41:27.340 --> 01:41:30.420 to ensure that all of this continues to grow. 1602 01:41:32.140 --> 01:41:33.500 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1603 01:41:33.580 --> 01:41:36.940 The one thing that has never changed 1604 01:41:37.060 --> 01:41:41.820 in all my years here is the way we play football. 1605 01:41:42.460 --> 01:41:47.820 Players come and go, but the philosophy never changes. 1606 01:41:48.340 --> 01:41:49.580 (SPEAKING SPANISH) 1607 01:41:49.660 --> 01:41:51.140 We believe in this philosophy, 1608 01:41:51.260 --> 01:41:56.180 which is improved every year and by each Barça manager. 1609 01:41:56.300 --> 01:41:58.220 But the day things start to go wrong, 1610 01:41:58.340 --> 01:42:01.580 and let's hope that isn't for another 200 years, 1611 01:42:01.700 --> 01:42:04.540 but if it happens, we must never consider 1612 01:42:04.660 --> 01:42:07.380 changing our playing style. 1613 01:42:07.500 --> 01:42:10.860 Our unique philosophy should never change.

1670 01:46:50.540 --> 01:46:53.900 Or a new film that premieres, is it any good? 1671 01:46:54.020 --> 01:46:55.860 We'll know the answer in 25 years. 1672 01:46:55.980 --> 01:46:58.620 It depends if people are still talking about us. 1673 01:46:58.740 --> 01:47:02.300 If after 25 years we're still taking about a book, it's good. 1674 01:47:02.420 --> 01:47:05.180 If we're still watching a film in 25 years time, it must be good. 1675 01:47:05.300 --> 01:47:06.980 The same will happen with our team. 1676 01:47:07.100 --> 01:47:12.620 But were we better than Sacchi's Milan or PelĂ©'s Brazil, or Johan's Ajax? 1677 01:47:13.140 --> 01:47:17.540 Everyone will have their opinion, 1678 01:47:17.660 --> 01:47:21.660 which they'll defend passionately. 1679 01:47:21.780 --> 01:47:24.220 I would tell you that my team was brilliant, 1680 01:47:24.340 --> 01:47:27.300 but Johan would argue that his team was better. 1681 01:47:27.420 --> 01:47:30.860 And Arrigo Sacchi would say the same about his Milan side. 1682 01:47:30.980 --> 01:47:32.300 And we'd all be in the right. 1683 01:47:32.420 --> 01:47:34.860 But if they remember us in 25 years time, 1684 01:47:34.980 --> 01:47:37.100 they won't talk about the titles we won, 1685 01:47:37.220 --> 01:47:38.700 they'll talk about how we played. 1686 01:47:39.020 --> 01:47:42.380 If they remember us, it's because they enjoyed watching us. 1687 01:47:42.500 --> 01:47:46.980 But that's the big mystery. Will we be remembered or not? 1688 01:48:02.140 --> 01:48:03.980 Barcelona-HD.Org
