Fabio Cannavaro

“I like the Klopp mentality but at the same time, I like the Pep culture about football because always we need intensity with and without the ball.”

“I have always been a Napoli fan, but the choice to move to Dubai is the right one.”

“I am Neapolitan and Naples are the team from where I grew up.”

“Sure it's a dream to coach Napoli as well as the national team.”

“I began searching for my confidence on the pitch as a young boy.”

“It's not one person that changes the team.”

“I know that people in Guangzhou have been very kind to me.”

“I started playing football in the streets.”

“When you win the World Cup, you start to become a legend - for the people around the world, you are different.”

“Italy is a great country, one of the most beautiful in the world, but I've always gone my own way.”

“Juve have allowed me to show my worth, it has provided me with a challenge that has motivated me.”

“Zidane was the most unpleasant among my colleagues. I have never liked him on the pitch and we have always clashed. Albeit a champion for his class, I have never managed to see his fair play.”

“Change does not mean you will win with a new coach and achieve victories, but rather it causes instability in the team as the new coach needs some time for the players to adapt his new plans, which are always different than the previous coach.”

“As manager of Tianjin Quanjian every day, every week, I have to give our players everything I have.”

“Conte is a good friend and is very charismatic.”

“Juventus in Italy are like Real Madrid in Spain, when you enter the team it feels different.”

“With Benitez, he should not be measured on his time at Inter. The Spanish coach has important experience. He has won trophies in England and Spain.”

“Obviously I want to win something important, this game is important to me.”

“I would love to become the national team coach. I am aware that it is a tough job, but I spent 15 years with Italy. In my opinion, I have the right experience for this role and I know the environment very well too.”

“The national team has always lent its image to help Italy's problems over the years... The national team is more about uniting than dividing.”
