"(...) It’s weird, with Utrecht when I was there, whenever we lost a game some fans would yell horrible stuff at me on the streets. That is unthinkable here. People pay you the greatest respect.” (...)"
Será que andamos a ficar demasiado brandos com os jogadores?
“You know a huge difference with Holland….? In Holland, they say “you play like you practice…” Hence my coaches at Utrecht being livid if I tried something flash. Here, they hardly train. It’s all focused on being in the zone on matchday. I love it! We practice an hour a day. Stretching, a bit of fooling around. A bit of tactical stuff. Done! And before the matchday, it’s massages and all that. Hours long! Lovely, haha. I hate practice and everyone here does.
Ainda que logo de seguida constate que os clubes Portugueses encavam sempre os Holandeses, não é estranho o método de treino referido? Não pode isso explicar alguma coisa sobre o nosso futebol?
