Didier Deschamps

There are always crucial, decisive players in every side who make the difference and do not necessarily depend on others. ”

Playing an ultra-defensive side is very difficult. ”

In tough times, that's when you see true colours and personality. ”

Open all the debates that you want, but I think that the players that I select, and in whom I have total confidence, deserve a minimum amount of respect. ”

You can't wake up one morning and say, 'Right, now I'm going to be a leader.' I think it is something that's in you, that you're born with, and which develops. Some people have that character, that personality and it comes naturally. You can't force it. It has to be authentic and natural. Innate. ”

It's hard to evolve when you only have fifteen days or three weeks to practice and correct and change tactics. ”

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. ”

You have to live in your times. ”

When you're a coach there's no age limit. It's the results that make you last. ”

Quality has no age. ”
