"We had a team will play a different system against us to deal with what we do, then we have a midfield of 21, and said," How can we do against our rivals the system? "

"He began to talk for 20 minutes in the tactical aspects of our game plan, the way he defended and attacked the 20 minutes, told me." Ok, this is exactly what we said we would do, "he said," By the way, when you learn that he said? ". We have done this since we were eight or nine years," What they teach their players is about training and working in this training and how to solve problems in their own fields. Could I have this conversation with a young man of 21 years in England? "
