MANAGER QUOTES
Quique Sánchez Flores (Watford): “With 22 different nationalities in the squad, I didn’t know whether I would be able to transmit the message I wanted to transmit, to give everyone confidence. But it is relatively easy. When there are so many different cultures and families, it is easier to introduce one way of thinking, one way to train, one method, one everything.”
Louis van Gaal (Manchester United): “Every match is a big challenge in the Premier League. Now it is a little bit nasty because Rooney was also ill after the international break and I only see him the day after he played and then he was at home (yesterday), so I don’t think he can play either – that is our problem. It is always the same; Shaw is injured and then Rojo is not there because he is also injured or he is not fit enough, then I have a problem. You can solve that problem because we have multi-functional players.”
