Gettin' it, sorta. Googled the statement and went to the BBC.
Blumenthal is famous for coming up with unusual recipes such as bacon and egg flavoured ice-cream and snail porridge, which work despite the ingredients.
Didn't add much to understanding Pep’s ingredients.
"..you think 'that is never going to work, it is not going to taste right or look good'. But it does."
Ah, okay! Gettin' somewhere now.

"Pep does things in football terms which are remarkable, that lots of other people would not have thought of. I hold him in such high esteem. He is innovative and always looking for new ideas."
Yes, there it is. Yes indeed, he does and he is.
"I get this feeling he is in a think-tank room, thinking about how he can make his players perform better, or where they can receive the ball in space and make it difficult for the opposition."
Yes! One gets the impression he is always thinking football— football, football, only football.
