"If you're not cheating, you're not trying" — Latino Heat
Who knew Pep Guardiola was such a big fan of the WWF?
How football players spend their downtime remains largely an unknown for most football fans. Unlike a “real job” they can’t run around kicking a ball for eight hours a day, we all know that.
So, what do they do?
Is it all deep, philosophical musings about the top three best chocolate bars — as Dele Alli famously pondered in the fly-on-the-wall Amazon Docuseries, All or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur.
Gareth Bale famously spent all his free time on the golf course - Wales. Golf. Madrid. In that order.

Pep, and his players, are clear.
If they’re no longer allowed to cheat, they’re no longer going to try.
