“We want the guys to play fast. We want them to play free. We want them...” — Brian Flores Quote

We want the guys to play fast. We want them to play free. We want them to play aggressive.

I think you can do that specifically with players - you can be tough on them, expect a lot from them, but not be somebody they despise.

I'm very prepared for difficult moments.

I think there's a discipline, a toughness, a respect for the game that I learned in New England that I think is just basic, the way football's supposed to be taught and practiced and preached.

I try to be clear and direct. That's part of leadership.

I was asked to do some studies to see if I was different. And I do have more male testosterone than the average woman does. Whether that makes me more aggressive, I don't know.

I want to have an aggressive mentality but a relaxed presence.

Mauricio Pochettino - he was my captain at PSG and I always knew he would become a manager. He has taken a lot of influence from Marcelo Bielsa, who was his coach with Argentina; they used to talk about things a lot, and now you can see that his teams are really aggressive, both when attacking and defending.

Basketball would have been the natural sport to play, but it's a little too aggressive for me, so instead I dabbled in volleyball and some good old-fashioned Roller Derby.
