Fulham Broadway 17,362 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 "I'll wait for you outside, mate" – Scolari books a date with a referee who ordered him from Brazil's bench in 2000. "He was going to hit [Ricardo] Quaresma and I defended him" - pugilist Phil stands up for his players by thumping the Serbian defender Ivica Dragutinoviç in a Euro 2008 qualifier last September. "Who was to blame out there was the referee. Two metres offside!" - Scolari's alternative reason for punching Dragutinoviç. "I'm not perfect. Everyone makes mistakes, and I lost my head here" - the suits from the Portuguese FA prise a confession from chastened Phil over the Serbian punch-up. "If someone talks about my private life, for example, I'll give them a good punching. I'm not interested in suing. I like to sort things out my way" - that sounds like a challenge for the British press. "Jesus said we should turn the other cheek. Unfortunately, Figo is not Jesus Christ" - and nor did Jesus headbutt Mark van Bommel, as Luis Figo just had in June 2006. "I believe firmly in astrology. Since I was a kid, the stars told me I was a winner" - he's a Scorpio, by the way. The same as the Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich. "When the ball goes to his feet it doesn't cry. When it goes to my feet it cries"- the difference between Zinedine Zidane and Scolari. "I don't want this situation involving England because in two days during which I was not coach, I never agreed to anything, my life was invaded. My privacy was totally under siege" - the Sensitive One rejects England. "I think Pele knows nothing about soccer. He's done nothing as a coach and his analysis turns out to be always wrong. If you plan on winning a title, you do the opposite to what Pele says" - World Cup winner Scolari reveals the secret of his success. "[He] tortured a lot but there is no illiteracy in Chile" - Big Phil offers a Thatcheresque critique of General Pinochet's leadership.

True_Blue 469 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 He will be worse than Jose in these terms,i won't be suprised if he pulls a punch on Fegie or Wenger that would be classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kez 2,727 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Noone will ever like us because of our success & the money we have. I'm hoping he'll make just a big impact as Jose did. If not more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombayblue™ 55 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Loyalty is the quality that best defines Luiz Felipe Scolari, according to those closest to him. In early 1999, Wagner Velloso faced a financial problem. The goalkeeper had just helped Palmeiras qualify for the Copa Libertadores, but the Brazilian club's offer of a renewed contract was below expectations. When Palmeiras refused to improve it, Velloso informed his coach he would have to leave. 'Don't go,' came the reply. 'Stay, and I'll make up the difference in your wages from my own.' Velloso remained, Palmeiras won South America's premier club competition, and their coach delivered a cheque signed with the name Scolari. 'No,' Velloso said, tearing the paper up. 'For you, I would do anything.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
