“WINNING IS NOT ENOUGH, YOU HAVE TO HAVE FUN”
“For me, the best coach of all time is Johan Cruyff. It has revolutionized the sport. Teams should not just win. They should also care about playing flashy and attractive football. A win is never enough. Getting a high mark from the audience, playing artistic and winning is always good. “It’s important to deserve everything. Football is a show and it should be played like a show. That’s what I want to achieve in all my teams. I did it at Flamengo.”
“I WATCHED KIEV, I FEED BARÇA, I WAS WICKED”
“Why didn’t you do well at Benfica?” Jesus: “There was a lot of political pressure in Benfica. I knew that when the president who took me back leaves office, sooner or later they will send me too. We beat Dynamo Kiev 2-0 in the Champions League and we were whistled and booed at Estadio da Luz. In that group, Barcelona were eliminated, but we left the group. There was no place for me to stay any longer. Then Pizzi spoke nonsense to one of my coaches and showed lack of discipline. Then everything exploded. Benfica was 3 points behind leaders Porto when I left. Now they are 15 points behind. I was kicked out of the group, maybe I would have gone further in the Champions League.”
“IF NEYMAR HAS THE STABILITY OF CR7”
“Cristiano Ronaldo is a machine! He takes care of his body and his career like no one has before. Neymar would be the best in the world if he had half of Cristiano’s determination. I think Cristiano’s determination never came and will never come again. I think he is the best football player in the world today.” Mbappe”
