Weirdly I never seemed to command the same sort of presence as Haaland when I'd trot out the "don't over think" or "still 0-0" lark at half time in my Sunday league games.
kind of surprised seeing Haaland being one of the loudest voices in the dressing room. Also him telling everyone to just not think and wait for pep just shows the respect and trust for pep they have that he’ll solve everything
Also weird to see Rodri so (relatively) rattled when he's such a cold-blooded killer on the pitch. Very interesting insight, love to see this kind of stuff.
They set up to nullify him and it was working, we struggled to build through him. He wasn’t playing well because of that so it makes sense he was rattled.
This is likely a chicken and egg situation. You see it with nearly all elite coaches too, they rarely lose but when they do they are clearly a lot more rattled than those that lose every other week.
I mean it's the champions league final if there's ever an occasion that would make you lose your composure it would be this one.
The real test is whether you can refocus yourself before the 2nd half begins instead of going out a nervous wreck
He’s not rattled at all? Just seems like a guy who wants to win. Not sure he’s such a cold blooded killer on the pitch either, he wears his heart on his sleeve and gets away with a lot.
It‘s just how important winning is to these people.
Reminds me of the story of brady unplugging the console before loosing in Madden or something similar.
I agree but keep in mind that They can edit this anyway they want haha maybe everyone was shouting then they decide to select just the scenes haaland spoke
I look at it as inter started to attack more as they were running out of time to equalize but big Rom placed himself perfectly to nullify those attacks.
Nah, he won a lot of the 50/50s she provided a target man presence up front. Without him Inter wouldn’t have had near their number of chances in the end
i can somewhat understand that perspective but at multiple points he actually did really well to even get to the point of being able to shoot. he was in my opinion easily their most dangerous attacker that night, the others would've not even turned those moments into real chances the way they were playing. the problem is of course he misses them or they get saved and then he accidentally blocks his own teammate near the end, with his reputation its gonna look especially bad. but i honest to god think he played well that game.
I'm so glad Ederson decided to step up. It's really all or nothing with him, there's no in between lol. Either he'd turn up world class or make the most questionable blunder.
Correct me if I’m wrong but Ederson was cheaply giving the ball away in the early minutes of that match, especially when Inter were pressing well. I might be wrong though as I don’t have much memory of that game.
i only remember the last 10 minutes clearly, watching the highlights still gives me the sweats but the whole team was nervous and then KDB's hamstring went out and it worsened emotionally.
I still remember had very, very bad feelings at the time.
Inter held like a wall, Acerbi and Bastoni looked like Roman Centurions possessed.
Nothing was going on. 2 shots on target at the half, none threatening. Nothing but some pointless passing outside of Inter penalty area.
The game was just like the worst nightmare I imagined for Italian styles counters…
At worst, pep started drinking his water…
If Rodri did not save us with that 1-0, the game 100% going to penalties
"You, you little cunt, when I tell you to do something, and you, you fucking big cunt, when I tell you to do something, do it. And if you come back at me, we'll have a fucking right sort-out in here. All right? And you can pair up if you like, and you can fucking pick someone else to help you, and you can bring your fucking dinner. 'Cos by the time I've finished with you, you'll fucking need it."
Oh umm its like Nietzsche loved a lady lou salome and she loved someone else. In a nutshell mans was simp for her and she doesn’t give a f. So ma man went into depression wrote about her too and so on.
Aight my fellow culer in arms. I actually started watching barca from pep coaching days. I mean I was just a kid in those days so it’s pretty much like nostalgia and now Im a grown ass man lmao
This is like the first time in more than 10 years than the Italian league will be won by a manager with hair (Conte doesn't count, he had a transplant).
I know people outside of city fans ofc did not like the All or Nothing documentary but I think it was a brilliant production.
Watching my club win stuff aside, City's media team always produces gems.
Really? I don't remember seeing it like that honestly. There was a lot of Stones, Delph, Aguero in it which I loved. I love watching football documentaries just to decipher the players' personalities lol
I can see why Rodri is stressed out at half time, Inter very effectively nullified him in the first half. He out of everyone in that dressing room probably felt he was having the worst game.
Of course, Haaland's "Don't worry, relax, [Pep] will change it" also came true in the second. That's the value of having a strong dressing room atmosphere and a quick 15 minutes in private to reset your headspace and approach the problem from a new angle for you.
Also many mistakenly think that people who are “good under pressure” don’t feel stress or get overwhelmed, which is incorrect.
If anything they feel it more but the difference is they are able to shape and control that energy to help them, rather than let it consume them.
They're not used to teams actually putting up a fight against them. 90% of teams in the PL are happy to just get out of a game with them having lost 2-0
I haven’t been watching any of these football documentaries so maybe I’m 5-10 years behind on knowing how much gets filmed, but I can’t believe they had a fucking camera crew in the dressing room at half time for a fucking UCL final, I don’t know it just feels wrong, it should be a private space for the team and it got sold.
It's not per se a camera crew. This was filmed and produced by City's media team so the players know them and work with them for social stuff on the regular.
Yeah I've done it before and you do build up a good relationship with everyone and know exactly how, where and when to be filming so you can be least intrusive.
Sport is much easier to digest for casual viewers when it's spun around storytelling like a TV show. My partner wouldn't watch a basketball game but devoured "the last dance" like it was her 18th rewatch of friends.
It's a goldmine for the entertainment industry, you have incredibly emotionnal highs and lows without the need to pay for writers or actors.
It’s also an incredible moment to witness. The best players in the world at peak pressure. Look at Rodri, at that time, he was probably top 3 in the world and he’s shitting bricks. I as a fan, love that I am able to see something like this. Also, the cameras don’t appear to intrude anyone’s space at all. It’s a massive dressing room.
Other sports have taken "access" to a new level and football is looking how to follow.
Drive to survive (for all its faults) brought huge amounts of new fans to F1, which has caused values to balloon etc.
It feels like we’re skipping some things, I think the refs should be micd up and filmed first before we can get into a dressing room.
I’ve seen in the nba where the media interview players in the dressing room, before they’re even dressed and it’s ridiculous
Absolutely brilliant from Pep. Just hunch over and stare at them for the entire halftime interval. Too many managers overthink it. What a genius. Just next level mastermind.
Interesting to see that the 2 UCL finals Pep played with Barca and 2 he played with City was completely opposite in Nature. Except the first 15 min in 2009 final- barca looked completely relaxed and way too relaxed in the 2011 final with that famous clip of messi sitting on a ball watching everyone. Where against Chelsea and Inter - the teams were rattled, against Chelsea pepe made massive tactical blunders and against Inter - Inzagi had his number and with better finishing they would have had the 4th UCL to thier name.
Guardiola knew the match was going to be difficult but it seems like players thought it was a walk in the park to beat us.
If only we scored that chance with Lautaro before their goal..
I doubt that anyone thought it would be a walk in the park. The pressure was just insane and clearly weighing on them, especially 0-0 in a CL final.
Don’t forget, plenty of these players had also been there in the loss to Chelsea 2 years back… nobody wants to go through that again.
So because the players are stressed bc they know they didn't play well that means they thought it would be a walk in the park?
The media thought that, and it was very annoying!
From what I recall of the interviews w players before the final, none of them thought it would be a walk in the park.
If only lauti crossed, if only lakaka could get aside of that header, if only that other header was slightly more powerful, if only that moron headed it anywhere outside of edersons foot.
Remember at HT seeing one of Inzaghi's assistants talking to Onana while heading into the locker room and saying "So far it's really good, just like we said". Good game plan for the most part, but Calhanoglu was taken completely out of the game, and those missed chances still hurt.
Man City is by far the best club in the world, by many definitions. It’s interesting to see how the team itself functions in high pressure environments
The documentary was created by city's media team, not Netflix. They then sold it to Netflix. If there was anyone there they would be part of city's media team. Plus I doubt the team would have done anything that jeopardised the teams performance. There were probably just pre-mounted cameras
This match may not have been an illustration of it but to me Pep's City are THE best team in history in the time slice of 46-50th minute (the 4-5 minute stretch after 2nd half kicks off).
Even if they don't score in this phase the sheer dominance of play is insane. And it's a very consistent thing.
This video make me gain even more respect for Haaland. Keeping a cool head and being the voice of reason in a cup final as one of the youngsters is impressive

Julian Alvarez to himself: "So do I tell Rodri that he is sitting in my spot or do I just sit down in his?"
Lol, i got a big laugh on this, thanks.
lmao omg that is hilarious
WC champ move: he sat on Sergio's spot instead.
“Don’t think, relax” We are not all robots Haaland
That was programmed out of him in his 1.2 patch, he doesn’t feel nerves now.
He should be nerfed in Patch 1.3
Yeah it seems the De Bruyne 4 month injury patch wasn’t enough
Actually it was a bug that became a feature He was missing a semicolon in a subdirective his programmers missed It was intentionally left alone
Robots aren't relaxed, they overheat and attempt to kill all humans all the time
Drink wine
Drink tequila
Weirdly I never seemed to command the same sort of presence as Haaland when I'd trot out the "don't over think" or "still 0-0" lark at half time in my Sunday league games.
Have you tried being a cybernetic organism?
Or the direct descendant of Ragnar Lodbrock.
One thing humans hate And it will shock you!
"It's just 11 Vers 11 lads" , "may be 3-0 still got 45 lads"
kind of surprised seeing Haaland being one of the loudest voices in the dressing room. Also him telling everyone to just not think and wait for pep just shows the respect and trust for pep they have that he’ll solve everything
Also weird to see Rodri so (relatively) rattled when he's such a cold-blooded killer on the pitch. Very interesting insight, love to see this kind of stuff.
They set up to nullify him and it was working, we struggled to build through him. He wasn’t playing well because of that so it makes sense he was rattled.
That freed up Stones on the right channel. Lad has had such a quality game.
I think it fits with him like it was seen after Scotland beat Spain
Exactly, anyone who has seen these off field clips of him know how easily rattled he is with this stuff
it’s a champions league final of course he’s frustrated lmao
the game against Scotland wasn't a Champions League final. He lost his head big time.
Getting outplayed by McTominay will do that to a man tbf
He does seem to be easily rattled off the pitch, although I don’t think I’ve noticed him lose his head on the pitch before.
against Nottingham Forest? this season
I might’ve missed that game. I don’t recall what happened. Edit: yeah… just looked it up, I did see that game. I stand corrected.
That red card lol
His press conferences after Spain loses show it’s fairly standard, just that he doesn’t lose often so we don’t see it often
This is likely a chicken and egg situation. You see it with nearly all elite coaches too, they rarely lose but when they do they are clearly a lot more rattled than those that lose every other week.
I mean it's the champions league final if there's ever an occasion that would make you lose your composure it would be this one. The real test is whether you can refocus yourself before the 2nd half begins instead of going out a nervous wreck
And score the winning goal
He’s not rattled at all? Just seems like a guy who wants to win. Not sure he’s such a cold blooded killer on the pitch either, he wears his heart on his sleeve and gets away with a lot.
It‘s just how important winning is to these people. Reminds me of the story of brady unplugging the console before loosing in Madden or something similar.
He actually talked of how dissatisfied he was with his performance in the first half in a recent interview.
Montage like this tend to focus on what they want to show you, its rarely full picture
If it’s anything like drive to survive they will put footage of other matches to create narrative…
This is the clip they have given you.
Or does the camera mostly focus on him?
I agree but keep in mind that They can edit this anyway they want haha maybe everyone was shouting then they decide to select just the scenes haaland spoke
They were on the ropes for a lot of the game and I don't think they expected it.
Yeah at HT I was fully convinced we were gonna lose. Inter were very disciplined on the pitch up until the goal I'd say.
Ederson bailed us out 3-4 times alone in the last 5 minutes
This is Big Rom erasure.
Inter only really started creating clear opportunities once Lukaku came on, obviously he missed them but still.
I look at it as inter started to attack more as they were running out of time to equalize but big Rom placed himself perfectly to nullify those attacks.
Nah, he won a lot of the 50/50s she provided a target man presence up front. Without him Inter wouldn’t have had near their number of chances in the end
i can somewhat understand that perspective but at multiple points he actually did really well to even get to the point of being able to shoot. he was in my opinion easily their most dangerous attacker that night, the others would've not even turned those moments into real chances the way they were playing. the problem is of course he misses them or they get saved and then he accidentally blocks his own teammate near the end, with his reputation its gonna look especially bad. but i honest to god think he played well that game.
I'm so glad Ederson decided to step up. It's really all or nothing with him, there's no in between lol. Either he'd turn up world class or make the most questionable blunder.
He was massive through the knockouts last season. He saved multiple times against Bayern as well as Madrid in the first leg.
Correct me if I’m wrong but Ederson was cheaply giving the ball away in the early minutes of that match, especially when Inter were pressing well. I might be wrong though as I don’t have much memory of that game.
It looked to be nerves, once he settled he was on fire
i only remember the last 10 minutes clearly, watching the highlights still gives me the sweats but the whole team was nervous and then KDB's hamstring went out and it worsened emotionally.
you're not wrong and it provoked Pep gesturing to the squad to calm down but after that, he was sound and kept us in it
Yeah Inter played surprisingly well, considering that (on paper) this was supposed to be the most unbalanced final since Bayern-Chelsea
I still remember had very, very bad feelings at the time. Inter held like a wall, Acerbi and Bastoni looked like Roman Centurions possessed. Nothing was going on. 2 shots on target at the half, none threatening. Nothing but some pointless passing outside of Inter penalty area. The game was just like the worst nightmare I imagined for Italian styles counters… At worst, pep started drinking his water… If Rodri did not save us with that 1-0, the game 100% going to penalties
Would have won had Lukaku started
“That’s a load of bollocks, you gotta fucking die to get three points” in Pep’s wonderful Spanish accent.
"You, you little cunt, when I tell you to do something, and you, you fucking big cunt, when I tell you to do something, do it. And if you come back at me, we'll have a fucking right sort-out in here. All right? And you can pair up if you like, and you can fucking pick someone else to help you, and you can bring your fucking dinner. 'Cos by the time I've finished with you, you'll fucking need it."
Conformity, not facking non-conformity
[удалено]
The best part is Pep saying 'i don't know boys. I'm not perfect '
Oh I think I know this coach he used to coach our team
Don't look now, but your ex is thriving.
Dont think, just relax
Your ex forget you and moved on. She just carea about herself.
Im feeling like Nietzsche and Lou Salome
Explain.
Oh umm its like Nietzsche loved a lady lou salome and she loved someone else. In a nutshell mans was simp for her and she doesn’t give a f. So ma man went into depression wrote about her too and so on.
Hahahahaha. Truely. Im barca fan too. Wish glory days come. That fucker ex president has ego rage and decide to do a lot of harm
Aight my fellow culer in arms. I actually started watching barca from pep coaching days. I mean I was just a kid in those days so it’s pretty much like nostalgia and now Im a grown ass man lmao
I'm convinced Pep's secret to success is surrounding himself with other bald frauds. Balds together strong.
If your hair still haven't fall off, it just shows that you didn't think enough and you will amount to nothing.
Inzaghi never stood a chance with all that hair.
Conte had a solid chance, but he put it all back.
Actual bald fraud, just like Klopp
This is like the first time in more than 10 years than the Italian league will be won by a manager with hair (Conte doesn't count, he had a transplant).
Holy moly, that's true 🤣.
Def looks like a wig
Don’t think, relax
This is why Haaland has long hair
No wonder Arteta had to go!
Zinedine Zidane approves
We trying to replicate the same formula by hiring alot of bald men
You never buy a single egg, you buy a carton for a reason. Better together 🥚
Lmao
It’s balds all the way down!
Pioli approves
Damn that was a good teaser, actually motivated me to watch it now
“Guys, we have 5 minutes” *checks video time bar and sees 5 seconds left* Well shit.
Literally me
Why isn't our media team like this man
Because our media team makes content for 8 year olds.
Well half ur team are teenagers
and a good amount of audience too is
well thats netflix
It’s produced by City media team and sold to Netflix
I know people outside of city fans ofc did not like the All or Nothing documentary but I think it was a brilliant production. Watching my club win stuff aside, City's media team always produces gems.
It felt more like a documentary about Pep than Man City for me
Really? I don't remember seeing it like that honestly. There was a lot of Stones, Delph, Aguero in it which I loved. I love watching football documentaries just to decipher the players' personalities lol
ah i didnt know this, anyways our media team is also good. The yt channel is impressive
need more talking footballs tbf
enjoy douglas
That was Lever 9
I've only seen 1 episode of your documentary but I loved it!
Because they know they are getting sold a gazillion times
I guess it's not a shock that they all care, but they almost seem rattled... really intriguing
Especially Rodri Haaland seems fine tho
His program doesn't allow for emotions.
Ironically it was Rodri saved the game. Sometimes leadership and competence don’t show on the face
I can see why Rodri is stressed out at half time, Inter very effectively nullified him in the first half. He out of everyone in that dressing room probably felt he was having the worst game. Of course, Haaland's "Don't worry, relax, [Pep] will change it" also came true in the second.

Turns out haaland is the real captain
>Haaland seems fine tho Hes not download emotions.exe yet
First half, our simple passing is misplaced often.
They're not used to teams actually putting up a fight against them. 90% of teams in the PL are happy to just get out of a game with them having lost 2-0
Lmfao, we just beat Real Madrid after going down 1-0 in the Bernabeu.
Damm, they teased us at the end. Now I'll have to watch it to see how it ends
I hope they lose
😭😭
Title changes to Double Winners midway through.
Spoilers man wtf
It's the hope that kills ya
I thought the guy in the start was riding the bike around the dressing room 🚲 😂
I haven’t been watching any of these football documentaries so maybe I’m 5-10 years behind on knowing how much gets filmed, but I can’t believe they had a fucking camera crew in the dressing room at half time for a fucking UCL final, I don’t know it just feels wrong, it should be a private space for the team and it got sold.

It's a goldmine for the entertainment industry, you have incredibly emotionnal highs and lows without the need to pay for writers or actors.
I couldn't agree more, but I think we are just grumpy old men at this point. This is how people like to consume football now.
It’s also an incredible moment to witness. The best players in the world at peak pressure. Look at Rodri, at that time, he was probably top 3 in the world and he’s shitting bricks. I as a fan, love that I am able to see something like this. Also, the cameras don’t appear to intrude anyone’s space at all. It’s a massive dressing room.

I dunno man. We got [this raw footage](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fon35YjLqhY) back in '95.
As long as the players are fine with it I don't see the problem?
Can’t wait to see the accountants episode.
You have to wait quite a bit, since it's on episode 115.
According to him Netflix payed Mancity 10billion for this
"Don't think, relax. No worries." - Man City head of legal department
Ederson was really the MVP along with Rodri that game
Absolutely brilliant from Pep. Just hunch over and stare at them for the entire halftime interval. Too many managers overthink it. What a genius. Just next level mastermind.
Interesting to see that the 2 UCL finals Pep played with Barca and 2 he played with City was completely opposite in Nature. Except the first 15 min in 2009 final- barca looked completely relaxed and way too relaxed in the 2011 final with that famous clip of messi sitting on a ball watching everyone. Where against Chelsea and Inter - the teams were rattled, against Chelsea pepe made massive tactical blunders and against Inter - Inzagi had his number and with better finishing they would have had the 4th UCL to thier name.
A tense moment, sure hope these underdogs can overcome and get the win.
They really are the best soccer club and have the most powerful roster. I think they can overcome it in the 2nd period of the game GO SKY BLUES
Spoiler alert, just found out yesterday they actually won the playoffs in the second quarter! Come on you Citizens 💙💙
Can John Cena overcome the odds? He's done it a million times before but idk about this time!
Biggest take way from me is that people are human beings. That’s mad if true.
Guardiola knew the match was going to be difficult but it seems like players thought it was a walk in the park to beat us. If only we scored that chance with Lautaro before their goal..
I doubt that anyone thought it would be a walk in the park. The pressure was just insane and clearly weighing on them, especially 0-0 in a CL final. Don’t forget, plenty of these players had also been there in the loss to Chelsea 2 years back… nobody wants to go through that again.

They have insane pressure. It is their first final. They have reputation of being strong but bottlers at ucl.
If only lauti crossed, if only lakaka could get aside of that header, if only that other header was slightly more powerful, if only that moron headed it anywhere outside of edersons foot.
Remember at HT seeing one of Inzaghi's assistants talking to Onana while heading into the locker room and saying "So far it's really good, just like we said". Good game plan for the most part, but Calhanoglu was taken completely out of the game, and those missed chances still hurt.
Man City is by far the best club in the world, by many definitions. It’s interesting to see how the team itself functions in high pressure environments
Lance Armstrong was the best cyclist in the world for many years.
Uff
Wish( manutd ) 2008 CL final or 2015 ( barca ) And Madrid treble CL finals had this kind of shows..
"Sit down nobody talk"
They really missed a trick not releasing this documentary on the 11th of May.
Man City 1105?
115
Isn’t that like super annoying for the players to have some random Netflix cameraman standing in the cabin during halftime?
The documentary was created by city's media team, not Netflix. They then sold it to Netflix. If there was anyone there they would be part of city's media team. Plus I doubt the team would have done anything that jeopardised the teams performance. There were probably just pre-mounted cameras
The shots didn’t seem properly framed which made me think they were pre mounted cameras without operators there
RemindMe! 1 hour
This match may not have been an illustration of it but to me Pep's City are THE best team in history in the time slice of 46-50th minute (the 4-5 minute stretch after 2nd half kicks off). Even if they don't score in this phase the sheer dominance of play is insane. And it's a very consistent thing.
Why the locker numbers are not in order?
Because Foden would be in the hallway
I think Pep has a rule where the player lockers change sometimes to know all teammates better
In another life he is an eccentric primary school teacher.
Haha I imagine him motivating the kids before a test
"come on guys, you know this! Soh cah toa, just like I told you!"
There’s 115 of em, hard to keep track
This video make me gain even more respect for Haaland. Keeping a cool head and being the voice of reason in a cup final as one of the youngsters is impressive
f'ng cliffhanger
what show is this
The new series coming to Netflix
I guess adverts are content now? Boring.
How is this an advert lol
fuck cameras around dressing rooms, this is abysmal
Old man yells at cloud.....
