Seems all the twitchy, unaligned behaviour and mannerisms came after this.


Starting from 12:35 as it's the interesting bit for me. After the trouncing of Arsenal, they're talking about Messi before Baggio meets him.

You might need to turn English subs on.

Don't think Pep chnged too much, maybe it is because of being in England and not being in an environment he was used to and the stress piling up over time. Before that in Munich as well.

Surely it's evident he became a paranoid stress head at some point? He's not the guy in that vid anymore. Don't know what event(s) changed him, but you couldn't get that out of him on camera anymore, at least.

Perhaps, seeing an old pal for whom he had huge regard, makes for an explanation.

Just reminds me of Mourinho, also, whose personality has had the same kind of swing these past 10 years.
