I can't do it justice but some snippets that stood out:
- Peps system when truly Implemented ( Not the half way house we have at city) doesn't allow for dogged chasing round of the ball. It's all very preciseb and positional play is everything. Sanchez really struggled to adapt his game. Henry was the same wet first but eventually came round citing thatb to play for pep at Barca was to swallow your pride and be prepared to relearn the game (even if you were a mega star)
- Just as he started to show signs of adapting, pep left and the system changed, then he was sold
- He struggled to play with Messi, lots of players do
- It's widely regarded that it didn't quite work out at Barca because of the demands from pep, but that the relationship was good and full of respect
- He's a vastly different player (ability and experience) and he (graham) thinks it's very much a possibility he could move here. Absolutely crucial is champions league football (", in Alexis caDr, this genuinely means everything- a result from his rags to riches roots ")
