Choosing a system is no longer enough, coaches have to be psychologists and motivational leaders too.
It's up to the referee to decide what is and isn't a foul.
Malice is part of football, I wouldn't call it illegitimate.
Hundreds of players have physical and technical talents but very few make it.
I have crossed Suarez on the field and it was a pleasure. He is a great forward and that always means a challenge. I would like to swap my shirt with him.
With all due respect, but Juventus are not Real Madrid or the AC Milan of Ronaldinho's days. They can win games 6-2 or 5-2. Juventus are not like that. We have to win 1-0 or 2-0. It's in the club's DNA. That does not mean we will not try to win 3-0, but we are a team that cannot concede a goal when we are ahead.
Juventus' supporters called for Conte, however this is not the reason why the club signed him. I can explain it better: fans are obviously very important, but thinking that Juventus managers follow their moods would be wrong.
How do you mark Ronaldo? You try not to leave him alone and don't let him shoot on his right foot. As for Messi... you just make the sign of the cross!
Balotelli is a negative person with no respect for the team.
As an opponent, the fiercest bouts were always against Zlatan Ibrahimovic, a fantastic player.
As a team-mate, the one who taught me the most was undoubtedly Fabio Cannavaro.
It is great to hear that Italian football now has many supporters in Asia.
Experience helps you read certain situations better and make less mistakes in terms of behavior.
Felipe Anderson's got a good engine, pace, skill, passing ability and a decent shot on him.
Ronaldo will always score against everyone.
There is a lot of respect for Real Madrid, but it doesn't mean we can't beat them.
If you want to reach the Champions League final, you have to play the big teams like Real Madrid.
That has always been my character - on the pitch I have a strong temperament, but off the pitch I'm more serene, reflective. I manage to separate out those two things.
I go hunting for my opponents high up the field, and I put stock in physical one-on-ones and winning individual duels.
We Italians are always criticising ourselves.
