Pele is incomparable.

My job is to prepare the squad.

Alisson is an excellent goalkeeper.

I want to evolve and keep evolving.

I do not demand miracles from anyone.

Coaches are always looking to evolve.

As time goes by, people grow and mature.

All of us are human beings and we evolve.

The collective strengthens the individual.

Neymar is essential, but not irreplaceable.

My thing is in the pitch, that's my concern.

I'm not dumb enough to call up a bad player.

When you are captain, how to project yourself.

There's no news on talking about Messi's talent.

Yes, I would have wanted Messi to be born in Brazil.

The ability to deal with pressure is hugely important.

It is inhumane to put sole responsibility on one athlete.

I just make sure to prepare myself for everything day-by-day.

Perhaps Argentina have been benefited by the talent of Messi.

Football is a transformation agent, both for good and for bad.

When we move things from what it's important, we make mistakes.

Sometimes people confuse that polite players aren't competitive.

A team has to be prepared for the various situations in the game.

I can't show false humility, nor be overly proud and ostentatious.

When the national team plays there shouldn't be club games going on.

We cannot erase what has happened, but we are building a new future.

Cristiano is direct and forceful, and has this fascination with goals.

I often joke that I've been fired from almost every job I've ever had.

I demand Casemiro play the same role he plays at his club, Real Madrid.

There are moments when you have to have a cool head and keep a standard.

We don't need any help - the athletes and the coach don't want any help to win.

I think the joy, the satisfaction and the pride of representing Brazil is a lot.

The greatest challenge of a World Cup is having mental fortitude. The pressure is immense.

Neymar is irreplaceable. Douglas Costa cannot replace him. He will play like Douglas Costa.

Regardless of the great rivalry between Brazil and Argentina, one only rivals who he admires.

Neymar, I'm not going to take away his initiative in the last third of the pitch - his genius.

You don't cancel out Messi, no, you can slow his actions, but you cannot neutralise his actions.

You must have a good structure, and not just change things based on pressure and need for a result.

The message to all Brazilians is that talent alone does not win the World Cup, it's about working hard.

Pele is out of normal patterns and I'm not saying this because I'm a Brazilian. You can't find a defect.

Whether we are winning, losing or drawing, we have to be ready to adapt and not sink into a comfort zone.

Anybody who wants to compare Pele to any other athlete... do you know what I do? I hear but I don't listen.

The overexposure of coaches is not a good thing, we appear too much in the media, we just want to work hard.

Diego Tardelli has a very good history with the national team, and left a legacy of his time in Dunga's squad.

I don't mind my team being less physically strong in exchange for more mobility and nimble, swift transitions.

Neymar has important and extraordinary records. And he also has a solidarity side that he will gradually show.

Having been at big clubs, when you sometimes don't produce, then don't expect the fans to understand. They will boo.

We must understand the fans, they want to see goals. If I was in their place I'd want the same. It's understandable.

Messi is awesome. His creative ability is extraordinary, outside of normal patterns. He manages to see what others don't.

I try to challenge the players. If they have reached a standard I challenge them to grow even more because you never know.
