Declarations of the Portuguese coach, who left Braga for the United Arab Emirates this summer, to Radio Marca
The best ones that Carvalhal coached: “I coached one or another with very good technical capacity. In that Besiktas team I had Quaresma. And in Sporting I coached Izmaylov, who was a very strong player. I always liked him. João Moutinho, too, who I got with 25, 26 years old. A high level player. Guti was in the first line”.
Moutinho and Izmailov: “Moutinho and Izmailov at the top, yes. Moutinho plays with GPS in his head. Izmaylov was a fantastic player.”
Bebé, the promise that Carvalhal guided: “Bebé came as a great promise. He had a serious knee injury. We had expectations of him.
Confidence in Trincão’s talent: “Trincão needs confidence and to play. He has everything. He will evolve as a player. He has very strong technical capacity. He has limitations in the defensive part. He improved a lot under Bruno Lage. With the confidence of Amorim, will be one of the highlights of the Portuguese League.

João Félix ready to explode?: “Now I think so, he is ready to lead Atlético de Madrid. Simeone is a great coach, but Félix’s characteristics didn’t really fit his style. Félix turned into another player, like Cristiano Ronaldo, too. João Félix is, today, more hardworking and stronger.”
