Do you know which exact interview did he say that about modern football?
“I want players to play with freedom. I think that's really important because football has gone really structured in recent years.
“Of course, you need to have a structure - that's important as well - but I think especially in the attacking areas it's important that players have a freedom to go and be creative, to make mistakes as well.
“Players are going to make mistakes on the football pitch. They're going to give the ball away, they're going to miss a cross, but I think it's important that the players have that freedom to try things and be creative. If you don't do that, then you play within yourself. That's a message I really put forward to players.”
