Portugal's Braga coach Carlos Carvalhal: The muscle we train the most is the brain

Description

Lisbon, Sep 18 (EFE), (Camera: Carlos García).- Portuguese former footballer and current Braga coach Carlos Carvalhal is an innovator who has developed his own style.In an interview with the EFE, Carvalhal acknowledges that his philosophy of coaching involves "putting the players to think since legs without brain are useless."SOUNDBITES OF BRAGA COACH CARLOS CARVALHAL:"The muscle the players have to train the most is the brain, the neurones. This will make legs move, but legs without brain are useless for us.""I played with Paulo Futre in the Portuguese national team, we always shared the room. We started a great friendship and we maintained it. When he was at Atlético de Madrid I enjoyed a lot and always wanted that Atlético de Madrid to win their matches. And I loved playing him in Atlético de Madrid." "After that, when Mourinho, Figo and Cristiano Ronaldo played in Real Madrid I wanted Real Madrid to win because it had great Portuguese players and I loved it.""I would enjoy training Joao Felix, who is now in Atlético de Madrid. Because he is a fantastic player, who plays very well between the lines, connects very well with the attacker. He is a player who will gain with our way of playing and we think he would be between the 4-5 world's bet players."

  • Estoril Praia assistant coach Jacobo Ramallo: I am not a slave to a particular coaching style

    Estoril (Portugal), Oct 2 (EFE), (Camera: Paula Fernández).- With experience as an assistant coach in the Adelaide United Football Club (Australia), the Odisha Football Club (India) and now in the Portuguese Estoril Praia, Jacobo Ramallo can be considered an international coach not only because of the countries he has been worked in but also due to his open-minded coaching style.SOUNDBITES OF JACOBO RAMALLO, ESTORIL PRAIA'S ASSISTANT COACH DURING AN INTERVIEW WITH EFE AT THE ANTÓNIO COIMBRA DA MOTA STADIUM:"Apart from what we can't control, the preseason went well, according to plan, there was no conflict. It's been an equal treatment for all of us, players and colleagues from the coaching team.""Above any individuality, I see a very compact and homogenous group. When someone new arrives he has a clear idea of what he has to do, there are no ups and downs and maybe that is one of our secrets, the fact that we are a family.""I am not a slave to a particular coaching style. I understand some coaches work very well following a particular style, for example, (the coach of) LaLiga leader —which is not Real Madrid, Barcelona or Atlético de Madrid, but Getafe—I think they play really well in a completely opposite way than Barcelona does. And it is possible to play well both ways."

  • Sporting Braga star Abel Ruiz: My dream is to wear number 9 for Spain

    Braga (Portugal), Sep 24 (EFE), (Camera: Carlos García).- He is 20 years old. He started in the Valencia youth academy and, when he was 12, he signed for Barcelona. Abel Ruiz has become the most expensive signing in the history of the Sporting Clube de Braga and an idol in Portugal. His friend David Villa is currently his representative and Ruiz dreams of wearing number 9 with the Spanish national team.FOOTAGE AND SOUNDBITES OF AC BRAGA PLAYER ABEL RUIZ:"I remember when my parents told me that I had to great offers, from Real Madrid and Barcelona. At that moment, I thought it over a lot and the next day, when I was at school I spoke with my friends and schoolmates, and it was clear. I knew that Barcelona was the best option for me and that it would be the best chance to continue growing.""From the start of the year, I had several offers. I thought them over because I had seen confidence in me regarding staying in Barcelona B but regarding what I wanted, leaping into the first team, I didn't feel that confidence. In the first half of the season I realised that the no confidence was still there so I thought that the best thing to do was looking for another opportunity. Braga arrived in the last moment and they offered me a project that got me excited and I thought it was the best option. The president and the sports director came to Barcelona to speak with me and inspired me with confidence and I really liked what they said to me." "Yes, I hope it. I'm working at my highest level to give my best and wear the number 9 in the national team. It is my dream."
