Gerard Deulofeu Quotes

There is some right old rubbish talked about Gareth Bale's time with me at Tottenham. Was I ever going to sell Bale? No. Was I going to loan him? No.

You are only as good as the coach thinks you are.

Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar - Kane has been on that level. He is one of those players that is irreplaceable and I am sure that Tottenham will be doing all they can to make sure he stays.

At Brondby, we had Daniel Agger, who came up from the youth. He had two years in the team, and then we sold him to Liverpool for nearly £7 million, which is a lot of money in Denmark. As a manager, that gives you even greater satisfaction that winning something as a player.

One of the biggest misconceptions is that players care about transfer fees. For a player, they do not care at all. They do not care if they move clubs for one million, 10 million, or 100 million Euros. That is just something a player leaves to his agent and the clubs.

I never thought about money; otherwise, I would have left aged 26 when Real Madrid and Barcelona wanted me.

I think Inter have been very clear: if a good offer comes in, they have to let me go. They don't want to lose me, but there is a chance they will let me go.

You don't have to be too clever to know that if Barcelona loaned me to another team, it's because they have little interest in me.

Real Madrid's interest? Yes, it's true, Real Madrid were interested in me. It was an honour and pleasure for me, it means that I have worked well in these years.

I've been linked with lots of clubs but that's what tends to happen if you stay in the same job for five years. It means you have brought a level of success.

After my debut as a pro for Groningen, I was at Eindhoven for two years.

I'm very proud that the world's top clubs showed an interest in me, including the very best: Real Madrid. My Madridista friends are all very happy.

It's the same for any team... you have to keep your best players.

I have great respect for Juve, whom gave me so much, where I won two championships.

The only regret I can have is that Inter sold a player that is now completely recovered. I said many times that I wouldn't have left Inter without showing who I was. But then they sold me.

It is not always possible, but the best plan is always to keep hold of your best players.

It is very difficult in the transfer market for the teams that need to improve their squads.

Manchester City didn't pay all that money for me because they saw me once on YouTube. They saw me scoring good goals. And I haven't forgotten how to score goals.

Football will always be about the results because if you are winning and taking good results you are not asking me about the young players.

The best thing you do as a coach is develop an environment where these guys can have some success. Vince Lombardi was that way. He cared about these guys not only as football players but also as men.

I've never regretted signing for Real and the results prove me right.

A group of players go out and win a game in a style that gets the best out of them. That's the key to management.

The most important thing for me is to value the players and try to improve them individually in order to improve the team.

I made a conscious decision to join Bayern because of the presence of Guardiola.

I never said I wanted to move to Real Madrid. If I did, I would have said so publicly.
