Japan is a country that works well. The trains, buses, and planes stick to their timetables. When you try to change the schedule of anything, it can confuse.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
I went to Japan to experience a new culture, and I would recommend that any footballer does that. But the main reason I went was to play football.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
When Atletico wanted to sell me, I was told that I earned too much money and they wanted me off the wage bill. I liked that honesty.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
I love the Copa America. It showcases all the classic rivalries of South America, all those neighbours, up against each other.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
In the World Cup finals, you're unlikely to meet a continental rival. In Copa America, you know they are just around the corner and that you will have to beat them to win the competition.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
The passionate fans, pumped full of adrenalin, think they own their club and, by extension, the players because they play for their club. They don't. It is the club who 'own' the player, and only while he is under contract.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
Players should get the best deals for themselves whenever they can. Football is a relatively short career.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
There were no Manchester United fans protesting when I left their club in 2005. I wasn't one of their most important players, so I moved on, worked really hard, got my breaks, and my career took off.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
I found it difficult when I first started to travel around the world as a footballer. Hotels go from places you are excited to stay in to places you get tired of pretty quickly.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
I have played international games two days after travelling around the world. Your body clock is all over the place, and you are waking up at 4 AM. But once a game starts, then your adrenalin kicks in, and you seem to forget the tiredness.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
Some players don't like to speak to the media or prefer to talk on live television so people can hear for themselves what is said, in real time.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
Online, your quotes can now be picked up around the world, twisted, translated, and interpreted to mean the opposite of what you have actually said.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
I do not listen to criticism or flattery, one weakens you and the other angers you.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
I think talk is cheap - when I hear people say what they'd like to happen, I think it's empty.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
It's not enough to just have talent at Atletico Madrid. At other clubs it is, but we can't sign superstars and have to look for players with a good work ethic.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
The characteristics of people according to their star sign are similar, and we pay attention to how we can get the best out of them.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
As a coach you need to choose the characteristics your players can contribute. I don't think it's a good thing for a coach to analyse his team by looking for something he sees in other teams. He has to pay close attention to the characteristics his team have, and make the most of those.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
There are those who discredit a style or a way of playing and those who accept all the different styles.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
Finding myself in a final with Atletico makes me happy. Why? Because I know the feelings of all the people at the club - because I know how the players feel. They need to see their team as champions, so we have more fans every day.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
Those who manage to keep the offensive and defensive balance are more successful. We search for balance in order to keep a stable level, which is the most difficult thing to do.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
Every footballer has their own identity. A Uruguayan player is different to a Spanish player. A Portuguese player may be similar to a Spanish one, but not the same - and so on.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
It's not easy to play for Atletico. Talent is not enough, the bar is very high.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
Griezmann is an extraordinary player who adapts to all the needs of the team.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
Whenever a fellow coach is sacked it is not good for any of us - it hurts. You just have to accept it because it is part of the game.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
As a player, you can be more spontaneous and instinctive, but now as a coach I have to find a psychological balance within the team.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
There is no such thing as revenge in football, or in life for that matter, just new opportunities.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
When the opposition team sense that there is fear, they take advantage without mercy.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
I'm a believer that emotions can move mountains, that spirit alone can trump budgets.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
Defeats are always tough, whatever you have lost, and they affect me the same way they affect anyone who loses a match - no more or less.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
Motivation should come from within each player; if not, it's difficult to get results.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
Catania was a real learning curve. I grew amid difficulties. In terms of courage and ideas, a lot about my Atleti comes from Italy.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
I was 27 or 28 years old when I really decided I would become a manager. I would go home from training at Lazio, grab a folder and pretend I was taking a training session. You know the way kids imagine things, when they are playing? I would do the same as an adult, playing at being a manager.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
Of course, becoming champions is something we all want, but I think that the best 'championship' for a manager is to see players like Koke, Lucas Hernandez, Angel Correa - lads who have come up from all the way down in the lower divisions - become professionals of a high standard.
