Vanderlei Luxemburgo Quotations

I didn't like what we did. You can't leave one country and head off to another and spend more time on the plane than training or playing,

He is the player who works hardest here and he plays in a position which isn't his,

I came with a three-phase project. I thought projects were given greater respect in Europe and would not depend on one result.

If you are here it is be a member of the squad.

But this has to be resolved intelligently and by talking to the rest of the players, who helped Santos get to this position.

But don't expect every game to be like this. The next game will not be like this,

I have still not decided who will start yet. We will have a look at how players react in training tomorrow and then I'll have a better idea.

He was flirting with me. He blew his whistle and looked at me with every decision he made....Maybe it was because of my pink shirt.

He has had to make a few adjustments. He sacrifices himself for the team.

I think we should have won the game before halftime,

We're all in this together, it's not just my head on the block.

We can't be talking about changes. There are questions to which I say 'next question' and this is one of them.

We practiced against Juninho's free-kicks, ... But not enough to stop him.

Whether we play well or not, we have to win this game. We must call on all our fans to create the right atmosphere, as this is like a final. My players are not brimming with confidence but they understand that they have the responsibility of putting in a decent performance.

Every team has absentees. In this type of match we needed to try harder.

A tour should act as pre-season preparation and not only be used as a way of making money. We are going to change it next season.

At the moment the plan is for Woodgate to play a game on Wednesday to help him build his confidence. I have not decided whether he will play tomorrow or not.

Things are a bit complicated. We have to change the team.

Despite such a heavy defeat, we need to keep calm because the competition is starting and we can't let ourselves become demoralized.

Although it was a particularly bad result, we have to remain calm because the competition has only just started and we can't afford to be demoralised,

The way we played here, we could win the league, the Champions League and the cup,

They were lucky because they scored with their first free kick and that decides lots of things. In the second half we had opportunities and possession but the goal we deserved wouldn't come. The statistics show that we had a lot of opportunities but we didn't take them.

You saw how long the grass was, it was very long and it spoiled the game.

That is the same situation of Diogo and Michel Salgado.

In the second half we upped the tempo, scored four and could have got more.

They are players who make a difference in a game, ... When Ronaldo isn't on the pitch the opposition defenders are more relaxed. The same goes for Zidane, but they weren't here today and we had to replace them.

There's a long way to go in the league. We've lost six points and we knew it would be difficult here. We have to think of our next match.

This is a very tough and important championship. It's a great accomplishment to have won it.

I am not concerned about two successive defeats, ... I am just sad for the players that they haven't got their due rewards.

A player who conjugates a verb in the first person singular cannot be part of the squad, he has to conjugate the verb in the first person plural. We. We want to conquer. We are going to conquer. Using the word I when you're in a group makes things complicated.
