| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Socor one-on-one, the show where we scratched the soccer riches you never knew you had. |
| 0:20.6 | Today, we're talking about pep guardiola, what makes him such a great coach |
| 0:25.0 | and how he rose to the elite level in management. |
| 0:28.1 | After starting out in the Barcelona Youth Academy, Pep graduated to their first team, |
| 0:32.6 | where he won the club's first ever European Cup in 1992, |
| 0:36.5 | as part of Barcelona's so-called dream team, also featuring |
| 0:39.8 | Ronald Kuhmann, Ristow Sto Stoichkoff, Brian Loudrop, and Man City Director of Football, |
| 0:44.0 | Chiki Bajiristan. Pep's manager in that team was his mentor and the man upon whom he |
| 0:48.8 | modeled his own managerial career, Johann Croif. As a coach, Peppers won nine league titles in three |
| 0:55.1 | leagues, possibly 10 titles if you're listening to this after the conclusion of the 2021-22 |

| 1:45.0 | So many possibilities. |
| 1:46.1 | I imagine if I wasn't walking properly, |
| 1:48.0 | Pett would sort of crouch on his haunches next to a whiteboard and say, |

| 1:55.3 | He's a detailed-oriented man, as we'll probably find out in this podcast, gents. |
| 1:59.4 | Why don't we start off, Joe? |
