The technician of the Manchester City He spoke with Italians of the present and past, recalling with 'Fantantonio' ​​the times when they met in Rome: “Antonio, we were always on the bench … You, Batistuta and I. I was not physically well when I got there, but what a good time I had with Cassano”.

Messi: “He is the best, in addition to his quality, he has an incredible mentality. In all the years that I trained for Barça, Leo did not lose a single game. I was lucky enough to coincide with a group of champions grown up in the quarry, like Busquets. Midfielders should be like him: talking little and thinking for others. Rodri can follow his example. “

Cassano, on working with Pep: “I would throw myself out of the team after a minute. If Messi would be there? I would put Leo on my back, I would run for him.”

Brescia: “Mazzone was like a father. When I arrived, he told me that he did not love me and did not know what he was doing there. We talked a lot and in the end he told me: 'You are very good, I love you and you will play.' He treated me like a son, about everything in difficult moments “.

City: “It was an incredible victory, in a year full of difficulties for everyone. This Premier will be unforgettable.”

Mascherano defense: “Cruyff said that the best had to play back because, if not, the ball did not reach the top. Mascherano had a unique tactical ability and was very humble. He will be a great coach because he always puts himself at the service of the team.”

The role of the coach: “It is a very complicated job, every three days you have to leave out 7-8 players, good guys who did nothing wrong. It does not matter at all to win a title if the relationship with the dressing room is a disaster throughout the year. It is a fight day by day, the coach must insist and follow a path for the common good. Players, it is known, follow you when you win and when they play … My teachers? Cruyff opened my eyes and I will never tire of saying that Bielsa is a gift for football “.

Bielsa and Menotti: “I spent seven hours with Menotti and, the next day, 11 with Bielsa. His family cooked a very good barbecue. Marcelo is unique, his football is a work of art: everyone attacks, everyone defends. It is a gift for football, just produces good things, without looking for shortcuts. “
