Positional play is good for training, but in games, to win matches, you need someone who can go past defenders and take chances.
Quote by -Ernesto Valverde
If you win a game, everyone is happy, and if you lose, everyone is watching you.
Quote by -Ernesto Valverde
Wins are big boosts for your confidence, but sometimes you don't notice little things. When you lose a game, it means that the opponent has had a plan, and it's worked - now we need to see our capacity for response.
Quote by -Ernesto Valverde
When you sign a contract with a club like Barca, that's what you have to cope with. You have to show your face when you've lost games. I knew that when I came into the job.
Quote by -Ernesto Valverde
Of course there is 'Messidependence.' It would exist in any team in the world, but when he is not there, we also have to play and try to win. Leo is fundamental for us and marks the style; it is well known that he is the best in the world for something.
Quote by -Ernesto Valverde
Villarreal have played well against difficult opponents. They're never an easy team to beat.
Quote by -Ernesto Valverde
There is something fundamental about Leo in terms of what he transmits to the supporters and what he transmits to the opposition when he starts to run at you. And I speak from experience.
Quote by -Ernesto Valverde
We all want our players to be perfect and never make errors, but we all do. Even coaches.
Quote by -Ernesto Valverde
Football is a game of errors. You want to make your rivals commit them and to avoid them yourself.
Quote by -Ernesto Valverde
I do not think it is very easy to win away from home in the Champions League.
Quote by -Ernesto Valverde
Messi always gets us out of trouble, and we're not going to apologise for having him.
Quote by -Ernesto Valverde
What I'd most highlight about Leo Messi is his huge sense of responsibility for the team. It shows in every game in every competition.
Quote by -Ernesto Valverde
We all know how management works. If you don't win things, as has happened before, people start to call for your head.
Quote by -Ernesto Valverde
Ronaldo leaving would seem to have ended the competition between Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo because people rarely mention one without mentioning the other. A lot of people are interested - me, too - to see how it will affect Real Madrid's football and what they might do in the transfer market.
Quote by -Ernesto Valverde
Throughout the season, you have days when you are more fortunate than others.
Quote by -Ernesto Valverde
When the opposition sits back and defends well and together, it's difficult.
Quote by -Ernesto Valverde
I think that everyone expects Xavi to be a coach, and he has the profile to be at Barcelona or wherever he is.
Quote by -Ernesto Valverde
The decisions you make are based on what you think is better for the team and the player.
Quote by -Ernesto Valverde
Winning the UCL is really difficult. Only one team can win it, so it's very difficult.
Quote by -Ernesto Valverde
Getafe is an uncomfortable rival for Barca and for anyone. They are experts in winning second balls.
Quote by -Ernesto Valverde
I would have given my arm to be able to do what Iniesta does when I was a player.
Quote by -Ernesto Valverde
Messi is the same player in Barcelona and Argentina, and it would be the same if he played with Australia.
Quote by -Ernesto Valverde
We prioritise everything. We will always fight for the Champions League. Barca will always be like that - we are very excited - but the way to win the Champions League is to win the league.
Quote by -Ernesto Valverde
In regard to criticism, we are in the world of football and subject to continuous criticism.
Quote by -Ernesto Valverde
You know how things go in football. Seasons are long, and you have to see how things progress.
Quote by -Ernesto Valverde
Just as I don't like it when other coaches question my squads and my line-ups, I won't talk about others.
Quote by -Ernesto Valverde
Everyone has their own opinion. They can state it publicly, or not if they don't like to, but for me, the best players are here at Barcelona, starting with Lionel Messi and followed by everyone else.
Quote by -Ernesto Valverde
I know the names of possible signings get fans excited, but it's a very fleeting kind of excitement.
Quote by -Ernesto Valverde
Sometimes there's too much noise about what's happening, but this is Barcelona - it is a big club. Sometimes people make more of things than they have to. We need to try to close the team away from all that noise outside.
Quote by -Ernesto Valverde
I would like to have an assortment of words, but what can I say about Leo? He is breaking all the records, and those he will still beat. He makes the public always expect something special from him, and he delivers it.
Quote by -Ernesto Valverde
I think it's something each team has to decide on, but I think the guard of honour is supposed to be a way of paying tribute to the opposing players.
Quote by -Ernesto Valverde
During the season, there are all types of games - ones where you deserve more than you get and ones where you get more than you deserve.
Quote by -Ernesto Valverde
It's true that Coutinho played on the centre because sometimes Messi likes playing on the right side. If that happens, we have to readjust a bit.
Quote by -Ernesto Valverde
When Messi plays the ball, everybody expects many things from him. Sometimes it's too much because we have to let Messi breathe a bit.
