Marcos Alvarez, physical coach of Betis and former Real Madrid, gave an interview to the award-winning journalist from Olé, Diego Paulich. “Gago is not going to retire,” he revealed.
Quique Setién: “Quique is a style for Guede, he has a very strong stamp, he loves positional play, keeping the ball, going to attack and defend himself with the ball. All the players who have it love it because the ball prevails over other things. What happens? When you get an opportunity like this, like Barcelona, you can’t say no. But the truth is that Barsa’s current situation is not the best because there are many internal struggles within the club itself and that creates you instability. For a coach it’s a bit complicated. “
Juande Ramos: “But the truth is that Barsa’s current situation is not the best because there are many internal struggles within the club itself and that creates instability. For a coach it is somewhat complicated. We experienced it with Juande Ramos at Real Madrid, they are unstable situations that the coach pays for. But Quique has a well-marked philosophy, a totally Barcelona philosophy, and I’m sure they are delighted. I even have that information from the inside, I have a very good relationship with them because we worked together for two years at Betis. They are very smart, very intelligent, they see the games very well and they train very well. For me he is a top coach. “
Pep Guardiola: “He has created a style of play, although it already comes from the Cruyff era, but it is very marked. He is a studious and it is true that he has made history, but I think there are other coaches who can shade him, who are also at levels very top and I would not say that he is above the rest. Cholo (Simeone) with his form and style, has achieved something that here … Damn, keeping Aleti in the top elite for so long is because he has concepts and forms that put him in the top five. And there is also Ancelotti, Jürgen Kloop, I don’t know. Come on, let’s see, if the coaches want to be equated among them, you have to see them with teams from the same entities. better squads, which you also have to take, uh, which is complicated, it is much easier to win titles or play finals. The same Mourinho, who has had many setbacks in recent years, has achieved things and it is for something. tactics, reading games, how to carry the g rupo … Something I did. Juande Ramos, the same, has been an excellent coach, who read the games very well, but has not had the opportunity to be in a top-top team from the first moment, starting from a preseason. “
Higuaín: “Perhaps it is true that you ask them for things that you see throughout the year and when they get there, to the Argentine National Team, they do not stand out. It is complicated because they also have a responsibility in front of a whole country. Even we are surprised because here Messi does many things at the individual level, however in Argentina he does not have as many spectacular details as here. You do not know what it may be due to, he will know that, but I think that you appreciate them a lot and you love them, because they are people who love to their country, that they give everything for Argentina and, if in a way something does not work out for them, they will have some reason, but it is not because of carelessness.
Gago: “Fernando is one of the most professional players I have ever come across, with a very clear head of what he wanted for his game and his level of training. Knowing him I think he will be trying until he can’t take it anymore. He is going to achieve it because he is very methodical in his recoveries and his professionalism. I don’t think he will retire. “
