pep really tried his hardest to make messi's life both on and off the pitch as easy as possible at barça so he could just play football happily with no worries or stress..

#like he dealt with the board all on his own and wouldn't let them touch him.. scaloni is the same way #he just tried his best to make sure messi enjoyed his time with the nt.. #i think there's smth to be said abt how both pep and scaloni were novice coaches at the beginning #but they both understood messi in a way no one else did and saw HIS vision and messi in return brought them glory.. #i'll keep saying until i lose my voice but the best coaches in messi's life are pep and scaloni literally no one else compares #you have to very sprecial yourself to really unlock messi's potential otherwise you'll just squander his talents #which unfortunately is what happened to messi for the majority of his career #i think despite all his achievements he's actually underachieved bc of how long he's been mismanaged and had to rely on his #individual brilliance #which is what im afraid will happen to him under xavi. not to mention the political turmoil laliga's experiencing rn #you bet your ass messi's going to get involved somehow #and this was what pep tried protecting messi from during his era hahahaha kms
