“My teams don’t play like that. Sport and life are body language, If they make a pass and walk like that (head down), we’re off to a bad start. But then there were still 80 minutes left Do you want to play? Do you want the ball? Would you like to move? Want to fight? Do they love each other like brothers?
Come down to the earth, all of you, come down to the earth. Work harder, work better, be humble, be ambitious. Otherwise, the bottom ones are ready to play.
