Xavi on Pep, well worth a read:

When Barcelona named Pep Guardiola as their manager, I said to myself: ‘Madre mía, we’re going to be flying; this is going to rocket.’ I knew him already, knew what he was like. He’s pesado: heavy-going, insistent, hard work, intense. He’s a perfectionist. He’s obsessive; I knew he would keep going until he got it right. If Pep decided to be a musician, he would be a good musician. If he wanted to be a psychologist, he would be a good psychologist. Football is his passion.

Xavi in my opinion is a great player and he has a very high regard for Pep. I don't think Pep will change his approach regarding procession football, why would he. We have players good at keeping the ball and a few not so good. Can they improve, time will tell. No doubt there are stats on giving the ball away for each player. I will not name the players I think are most culpable, but Pep will know.
