The way Thiago talks about football 🧠:
🗣️ "We have to encourage the young players to enjoy and compromise themselves to the game, but they have to play in this state of flow.
In Spain, it is very tactical. You have to do this, this and that and players are losing the freedom, I think.
In very specific moments, tactics and set pieces are great, but the moments in great matches, when you face the best players in the world, on earth, they are the best players because in one-on-one, they eat you.
So when you lose that from a player, this natural kid, that you have, where you want to challenge someone and win... we are losing that.
That's why big teams are struggling in the Champions League."
