"You feel the atmosphere of the Champions League. After a negative game, it is better not to talk to the players"

PREPARATION – "Honestly, I don't have special routines, we prepare the game together with the team in the same way. We eat the same things and try to find concentration together."

THE DIALOGUE – "I don't remember, I go to hear a situation a lot. The motivational speeches must be done for what you hear at the moment, you have to transfer it. I don't believe the sentences read elsewhere. The motivation comes if the player understands that it comes from the heart and the head".

BEFORE THE MATCH – "The Champions League atmosphere is felt, the routine is different compared to the championship. You train where you will play, the press conference with many foreign journalists, music, all good feelings".

AFTER THE MATCH – "Afterwards I prefer not to talk especially if things have not gone well. In hot conditions you are not lucid, you need to ease the tension and it can happen that the player himself is angry. Often it is better to avoid any effort after a missed game. If you win there is a desire to share, to embrace you with everyone, players and staff, and rejoice in the victory ".
