>> [Quote] Aitana Bonmatí: “Playing for Barça is very intense. There is always the next training session, the next game, the next trophy. Every year the goal is the same: Win everything. One day when my career is over, I’m going to travel the world for a year or two, and immerse myself in places like Colombia and Japan. But right now I want to keep winning. I love this pressure, the feeling that you cannot fail, that you have to demand the best of yourself every single day. It has become part of who I am.”

>> [Quote] Arne Slot: “Again, credit to Newcastle. But I can explain. We play zonal so we have five players zonally close to our goal, so if the ball falls there it is always one of the five stronger players that are going to attack that ball. And we have three players that man-mark and Macca is one of them. Normally a player like Dan Burn or another one runs to the zone because normally… I think he’s an exception to that because I have never seen in my life a player from that far away heading a ball with so much force into the far corner. That is part of logic, that they either have to go far away from our zone, which 99 out of 100 times that will never lead to a goal, or they have to arrive in our zone and then it’s an equal battle, if you want to call it like this. So credit to him, I think he’s one of the few players that can score a goal from that distance with his head.” | 16 Mar 2025
>> [Quote] Arne Slot: “But in football it’s always like this: you need the team to win an individual prize, and that’s what Mo understands at the moment really well because his work-rate, especially in the second half but almost during the whole game, was very good and very helpful for us to have a chance to win the game against City.” | 25 Feb 2025
>> [Quote] Arne Slot: “I will be really focused on the training ground. I think there is the place where you can influence the most and you have to influence the most, because you have to influence your players, common to (the) game model and your game plan. And I think that’s where it’s all about — to find a way of playing which suits the players the best, and then adjust.” | 20 Jun 2024
>> [Quote] Ruben Amorim: “Our goal is to win the Premier League. Maybe it’s not with me, but our goal as a club, the board, is winning the Premier League. Like we did in the past with all the great glories and the legends of this club. And do we want to do better, and we know that we are in a difficult moment, and I’m not naive.” | 3 Mar 2025
>> [Quote] Arne Slot: “It’s always interesting if you are the successor of Klopp and also Lijnders, who does quite a bit of work on the training pitch, to see what their ideas were on the training pitch. I said this: we all try to steal a bit from each other. Mostly this is done by looking at the games, but if you can see the way they train, that can only help you.” | 20 Jun 2024
