Loads of insights into how Poch and his team works.....and what he expects from his players.
Lots of nuggets of info. I picked up on two in particular at the end of the book. Lloris say he is committed to the club but more committed to his manager and that if Poch leaves, "it will put everything into question, everything".
Also that Dele is learning Spanish and Poch and him talk sometimes in Spanish!
Poch comes across as a great guy in the book, a real people person with a love of life and moral principles. He values loyalty above all else. But it's hard to ignore the things he struggles with in England, including what he calls the "endless traffic". He goes with his family to Barcelona on short trips whenever he can to escape the pressure here.
The book is no literary masterpiece but it's really interesting to find out more about him and what goes on behind the scenes.
