""An old friend, important to my career. A good coach, because he listens to the player. Every coach has their own characteristics, and you take something from each one. Carlo listened a lot to the players. I think passion for football is the most important characteristic for a coach. Instilling something in the players, sharing what you have inside. "If you're passionate, you always pass something on. The coach is very important, he counts for 80% of a team. If the coach is serious, the players are serious. You have to convey good energy. I tried to convey total confidence.""
""Both are extraordinary players, even Benzema. Imagine an hour and a half of training without losing the ball. Never. There are 3-4 players who did that: Modric, Kroos, Benz""

He named Arrigo Sacchi’s Milan—featuring van Basten, Rijkaard, Gullit, Baresi, and Maldini—as an impressive, dominant side.
