For many years, Valery Lobanovsky was the coach of the capital's Dynamo team. At that time, the football club was experiencing, perhaps, its best times.

However, on May 13, 2002, everything changed: the instructor of the "white and blue" did not become a result of the extensive stroke. For a long time no one can surpass the achievements of Valery Lobanovsky, but now you can get acquainted with his best quotes about football.

The coach must learn all his life. If stagnated, stopped studying - then, ceased to be a coach. Time can not be fooled. Accents it places. And he teaches - too.

A journalist has no right to advise how to train a team. It's like I'm going to give advice on nuclear physics.

From the first steps I took this for myself as the main, the very first commandment. I began to look at the players, tried to understand them, accept them as they are: their characters, moods, requests, to get into family and personal affairs, sometimes even trifled with trifles that seemingly have absolutely nothing to do with football … 4. Without journalists there can not be the development of football. They can either slow down the process, or move it forward.

The new coach insisted that all players learn - in the evening schools, technical schools, institutes, rightly believing that a common culture is necessary for football, the intellectual level of which is constantly increasing.

I do not know what it is - talent. Sometimes, after all, a fortunate combination of circumstances is enough for success to come - here you have the "talent". But to search, thanks to what personal qualities, thanks to which methods the great coach systematically achieved successes - it is useful.

Being a coach is much more complicated than a player. On the field you control only the ball, and at the edge you control people.

The formula for success in big football has also been known for a long time in principle:

the brutal selection brings to the ridge only those who have the ability to colossal concentration of mental and physical strength at the time of the highest test.

Take the ball and circle a team - this is not an individual skill. Individual skill is the ability for a split second to make the right decision in a difficult situation. I believe that you can not go into dribbling at all and be the most useful player of the team.

10. The development of football is hampered by the so-called "stars". They just exploit their talent, not wanting to work out and get better.
