Quote by -Didier Deschamps
We must not dive into tackles but force the opponent to run so that maybe they will crack late in the game.

Nowadays you never see players playing cards. We used to sit around playing cards together all the time. But I can't fight that, I have to adapt and change.
Quote by -Didier Deschamps
Managing players is harder these days because of the arrival of new technology. They are all using it in their spare time so they become more isolated and selfish. They share less, they talk less. They have apps, their phones and the Internet but they are less used to talking to people.

Kylian is able to do extraordinary things. Look at his stats. He is efficient.

Quote by -Didier Deschamps
My departure from Juve remains a regret, a mistake that taught me one thing - never make an immediate decision, at the end of the season, when everyone is 'boiling.' I have paid for such an experience.
Quote by -Didier Deschamps
Look, I was a water carrier, I don't reject my image. I didn't have the pretension to think that I could change a match by myself.
Quote by -Didier Deschamps

Quote by -Didier Deschamps

Quote by -Didier Deschamps
I'm not immune to disciplinary problems and it's up to me to make strong choices. It's my responsibility.
Quote by -Didier Deschamps
It's not just about the words you use, but the way you use them, and the message that puts over. Also your face too and the way you project your message. If you're telling the group to stay calm, be good, and you have beads of sweat dripping down your forehead, you're in trouble.
