Pep’s Youngster Pep Talks…
In a cartoonish carnival of camaraderie, Manchester City’s first-team superheroes assembled their psychic energies to cast magical video spells upon their under-18 apprentices. Like legendary wizards on the eve of an epic quest, the benevolent giants whispered words of wisdom and conjured courage for the pipsqueak prodigies’ tilt at FA Youth Cup glory. With Oliver Reiss’ mini-blue army having marched over the vast desert of 27 consecutive victories like a juggernaut on roller skates, they are ready to snatch that shiny cup faster than you can say “abracadabra!”
Captain Marvel, aka Kevin De Bruyne, bellowed gallantly through the ether with his mystical message: “Hi guys, Kevin here. Just wanted to tell y’all to bring that elusive cup home and, oh boy, yes! Have an elephant-sized celebration after!” Meanwhile, Ruben ‘Rocky’ Dias offered sage wisdom fit for a kung-fu master: “Start with the strength of a thousand charging bulls, win those duels like a duel-wielding alien, and bring the treasure home!” Even the elusive ‘Macca’ McAtee chimed in, dishing out encouragement like he was handing out magic beans at a fairytale feast.
Pep ‘The Sorcerer’ Guardiola, sprinkling stardust with every syllable, praised Reiss’ wizardry, acknowledging how the elder blue knights had turned these young dribbling minions into high-level football warlocks. The young brigade, standing on the precipice of glory, have been challenged by Reiss to summon their inner heroes and break the spell of Villa Park. He declared it’s time for them to dance the conga of confidence across the grand stage and prove they’re not just any wannabe magicians but the conquering kids of Man City!
