Is Actual Madrid one of the best workforce in Europe?
I dare not say. They’ve reached the brand new Champions League remaining. So far as my soccer style is worried, Manchester Metropolis remains to be one of the best, other than being eradicated by Madrid.
As a result of it says?
One can’t be guided solely by outcomes. Manchester Metropolis had a whole lot of benefits in opposition to Actual Madrid. Sadly, he was unable to transform and was dominated out of the penalty spot. Manchester Metropolis maintained their consistency and their type of play was very noticeable.

What are your ideas on Ricardo Gareca taking on in Chile?
He has wealthy expertise. His performances with Peru had been spectacular, main them to the World Cup and playoffs. That is one thing Chile wants and desires somebody with expertise to order it.

I do not know what the key is. I want we knew as a result of we might replicate it. He’s a special coach than different coaches.
What do you consider Manuel Pellegrini?
I had him following I began enjoying for River Plate. I additionally met him in direction of the top of my profession in China. Manuel is a good coach.
Why do you suppose Bielsa is extra widespread than Pellegrini in Chile?
You must ask them, it isn’t my downside. I love them each. I do not know why in Chile they like Bielsa to Pellegrini. Perhaps, a whole lot of occasions, when you must lead a workforce, you may unite the nation. Alternatively, if you lead a workforce, you will have one a part of the nation supporting you and one other half not.
Are you continue to in touch with Alexis Sanchez?
No, I’ve misplaced contact.

No, not even shut. There are skilled gamers, however we don’t have the category of this workforce.
Did one thing occur in Russia?
Nothing occurred, we simply didn’t measure up. It was a World Cup and we weren’t on the stage we would have liked to compete.
What do you consider Jorge Sampaoli?
The most effective opinion is that he’s a coach who has carried out very nicely in lots of locations and he’s nicely ready.
Is he the best particular person to guide the mission?

Does the nationwide workforce actually have inner issues?
