"More stars are in the sky than in PSG"
"Malmo" coach Age Hareide is impressed with PSG's squad composition
"I wanted the ground to swallow me up. The next day after the interview all my team-mates said: Welcome to Derby City."
"Derby County" newcomer Bradley Johnson called his new club "Derby City", and then regretted it.
"In the away match against Basel in the Champions League, Balotelli started the game in the starting lineup and was hopeless. His attitude towards work was very poor. I formed an opinion about him very quickly."
For Steven Gerrard to understand who Mario Balotelli is, he had to meet him personally.
"Ibra, like me, is getting older. I better have Balotelli, who is younger."
Adriano Galliani definitely never deceives himself.
"Search on Google and stop asking silly questions. I have nothing to show you. Nothing."
"The third season syndrome" doesn't bother Jose Mourinho
"Diego Costa played as he was supposed to."
Hitting in the face and pushing opponents are what D. Costa is good at. J. Mourinho likes these skills.
"I want to pierce his ears."
"Sky Sports" commentator Allan McInally described the feelings of about 98% of world football fans towards D. Costa.
"D. Costa is the master of black arts. I'd like to play against him."
Martin Keown would like to play against D. Costa, and although it would be very interesting, it would certainly not end well.
"Vitolo is the best actor in the world. I knew that a long time ago."
According to former Gladbach "Borussia" coach Lucien Favre, you don't have to have an Oscar to be the best actor in the world. Leonardo di Caprio is proof enough.
"I don't feel like I'm the right coach for this club."
After a few days, the same L. Favre, with uncharacteristic sincerity for football coaches, stepped down from the "Borussia" coaching position.
"I'll buy the players pizza for a clean sheet against Stoke, and maybe a sausage."
Claudio Ranieri's way of motivating "Leicester City" players to defend better did not work.
"My team is as fast as the Royal Air Force... pip, pip, pip. I really like it."
It can be confidently stated that C. Ranieri is satisfied with his players' disposition.
"We felt that the Arsenal players are not aliens and can be played against."
Zagreb "Dinamo" captain Domagoj Antolić realized that the Arsenal players are not aliens only on the pitch, although to tell the truth, it was already apparent when Arsenal arrived at the stadium by bus, not a flying saucer.
"I am the last 'Ballon d'Or' winner born on this planet."
Continuing the alien theme, Kaka subtly said that Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are from another planet.
"The Lyon team always benefits from referees. Some teams, like 'Lyon', get more penalties, others, like 'Marseille', get less."
"Marseille" president Vincent Labrune became the nth football club president to complain about referees' work.
"It's a shame to erase eight years like that, because last month I signed a contract with 'Lyon'. It's ridiculous."
Mathieu Valbuena signed a contract with "Lyon", sued "Marseille", but blames "Marseille" fans for the ruined relationship anyway.
"If I had known that he (Carmine Russo - ed.) would referee the match, I would have told the players to stay at home. It's ugly to see such refereeing."
Maurizio Zamparini complains about referees. In other words, everything in its place.
"I think that when a club hasn't won a match, when fans pay money for every game, yet these clowns come to the stadium in tuxedos just to be photographed, it's disgraceful. Next time they can come in circus costumes, because it's completely ridiculous."
"Telegraph" journalist Matt Law put some "Newcastle United" players in tuxedos on blast. But they just wanted to look nice!
