Top 3 last words before midweek fixtures

People's last words are to be cherished: saved on our flash drives, written on our shirts... So should footballers' last words before a game.

Well, football player's last words before a game are probably something like, "Nice watch, ref... Um by the way, I'm planning to take my shirt off when I score today, can we work something out?" Or, "Aye, you want to switch man on set pieces? I got Benteke... Please mate, I'll lead the offside trap."

But these words are not recorded-- too bad-- the closest thing we got from their last words are the pre-match press conference. Let's take a look at this midweek's actions best pre-match quote:

Inter Milan host last year cup champions Juventus in the second leg of the semi-final of the Coppa Italia on Wednesday. The two sides met just three days before this fixture, Inter lost 2-0 and they also lost the first leg of the semi-final 3-0 to Juventus.

Juventus left back Alex Sandro told his club official website that the team should be pushing to win every single competition they're in now. Thus Inter's quest of beating Juventus the first time this season won't be easy.

3. "Juve are a huge club with a great history and subsequently we should be pushing to win every bit of silverware possible." -- Alex Sando, Inter Milan vs Juventus.

Another exciting game this week is Liverpool vs Manchester City in the Premier League on Tuesday. Liverpool lost the Capital One Cup final to City two days prior this encounter (similar to Inter vs Juventus). Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said that his players would be idiots if they let this defeat take over them.

2. "Only silly idiots stay on the floor and wait for the next defeat. Of course we will strike back-- 100 percent." -- Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool vs Manchester City.

Last but top quote, Zinedine Zidane said he's not going crazy after his side, Real Madrid, lost to Atletico Madrid, making in it close to impossible to win La Liga. Real Madrid's next game is against Levante on Wednesday.

1. "I'm not going crazy. When we win I don't let it go to my head and when we lose I don't go crazy. I'm going to prepare for the [Levante] game. I will put out the best XI and that is that." -- Zinedine Zidane, Levante vs Real Madrid


You can't watch a game without knowing the players or coaches' last words, right?

    1. Right, Leicester can make it all the way! Liverpool can get their revenge today against City, but three points is nothing compared to a trophy.
