Thiago: “We see less magic. As the players are faster. There is no need to do as much dribbling, because the players are faster, more physical. The players are more developed in every way, but you are missing those players who can bring you intake of breath moments in the game.”

Thiago: “There's also VAR… I've always been against it and wish it didn’t exist. It takes the essence of the game away from you. It takes away the cunning, the mischief, that is part of football – as long as you don't hurt anyone, of course.” (L’Éq)

Thiago: “We make mistakes when we play. Referees must do so too, as they are human. Without trickery, many famous moments in the history of football would not have happened. Above all, when we score, even if from midfield, we have to wait, it can be overturned.” (L’Éq)
