Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City put Mark Hughes and his Southampton side to the sword with an emphatic 6-1 drubbing at the Etihad yesterday. But, how far can the Catalan push his players and how much more can his persistence for perfection pay off before the lads begin to feel the strain?
I was always under the impression that no one is perfect, however, in my opinion, there is nothing wrong, no matter what you do in life, for setting standards higher than the person next to you.
Perfectionism
Pep’s psychology, his mental trait as a professional footballer, was to push himself to his limit and then take stock and evaluate.
