Back Quote by Tite

“In the 1958 World Cup final, Sweden scored against Brazil and Didi went to the back of the net and talked to all the players. And he was not the captain, but he behaved like one. Every player has to behave as if he was captain.”

To play here and win here in Uruguay is a very difficult thing. Here you have a really strong atmosphere, energy. You have to have your highest focus. You have physical, technical, tactical and mental aspects.

The ability to deal with pressure is hugely important.

Allan is good in transition, going box to box, leading counter attacks and breaks. He's mobile and brings protection defensively.

Football is a transformation agent, both for good and for bad.

When you demand performance, players raise their game technically. But if you put all the emphasis on results, that brings their level down.

I would like to live in the country that wins less, but has more stability. Brazilian coaches remain, on average, in a job for three months.

In an individual sport you can always plan your ideal peak, but in a team sport the experience of playing in the qualifiers makes you stronger as a unit.

A team has to be prepared for the various situations in the game.

Having been at big clubs, when you sometimes don't produce, then don't expect the fans to understand. They will boo.

I just make sure to prepare myself for everything day-by-day.

I respect opinions, I don't give opinions on them. I learnt to respect them. And I also have a very clear opinion on Rivaldo. He was a great player and the image that comes to me is of him controlling the ball on the chest and scoring in Barcelona. The most beautiful thing in this world. That's my opinion.

I don't have to have opinion about everything. I don't want to be a showman, to be talking about everything.
