Some remarkable quotes have come out of the mouth of our manager lately. We thought it valuable to gather some of them in one place. So here, for your reading pleasure, are some of the best.
“One can look at the opponent scoring as a negative, but one can also be positive and say ‘we have regained possession'”
“As a child my father said to me ‘when you play, you must always play not to lose, as losing is the territory of the loser’.”
“For me the one who possesses a winning mentality isn’t necessarily the one who wins in the end but the one who wants to win the most.”
“My first target is not to win, it is to develop young players with our work.”
“Two hours before the return leg I knew we were going to lose, I did not feel the players were ready.”
“You must play half the game with desperation, half with caution, and the last half with creativity.”
“I respect a lot the players: their hair and their hair color.”
“When I rest from football I paint, it is my hobby. And I often look afterwards and say ‘this is not what it looks like’. But I paint anyways, even if it is supposed to be a horse but in the end looks like a pigeon.”
(Please note that quotes 1, 2, 6 and 8 are fabrications. The rest are – yes – real.)
