Marco Silva

“If we want to do better and get stronger, we have to keep our best players.”

“My job is to show them clearly what they are doing, and what they are doing wrong on the pitch. To help them know why and understand why, even if you prepare and understand the plan, why you are doing always the same mistakes.”

“You could have one idea in your mind, and afterwards you could be working with a team with different players, and you may not be able to achieve what you want to, so you need to adapt.”

“It's impossible, when one team and one player is afraid of something that might happen in a match, they will not play well, they will not have 100 per cent confidence.”

“I need to improve every day.”

“That's football, it's our job not just to name the starting XI but during the match as well.”

“I have an ambition to win and you always must use it to drive you.”

“I don't have doubts that Everton is a big club.”

“Always, always, always when you prepare for a game, you prepare to win the match.”

“Football is not just about physical, technical, tactical. It's mental, really.”

“We want to play good football, so that our fans feel well when they come to see our team play.”

“If I have an idea of football, and I am the manager, it doesn't make sense for the club to find players with a different profile.”

“If I am here it is because the club believes in my job and it is my obligation to justify the quality of my job.”

“Even against big teams like Arsenal, who have a lot of quality, you need a lot of quality as well.”

“We always prepare for winning the match.”

“To be able to win one game at Old Trafford or at one of the other strong sides in the country you have to be strong as a squad. You have to have the personality and the character to not fear and to be yourselves.”

“We have to keep our strong mentality every time, with a good emotional balance to support everything, whether an opponent provokes you or not, because the opponent is doing his job as well.”

“If the player performs well and helps us to achieve our goals, nobody will speak about the price of the player.”

“When you are a club like Everton, you only have one solution - to aim to win.”

“For me the most important thing is what you can do as a player and a team, not to talk about individual things.”
