If there’s one thing that Pep Guardiola would seem to value above all else, it’s that his playing staff follow his instructions and details to the absolute letter.
You’re either with the Catalan coach or you’re out on your ear.
It’s a policy that’s served him well throughout his managerial career, and if there’s even a hint of toxic behaviour from a player, he’s cast aside and sold.
For all of his bravado, Zlatan Ibrahimovic found out to his cost at Barcelona that no matter how big your ego, you don’t cross Pep.
