Wolfgang Overath, German legendary player: "About Bernd Schuster we must know that he's not 20 years old but he's still in a high level in his career. Even he's not the same young powerful midfielder and scorer ...but he worths for half the team himself. He's a giant to do it".

Lothar Matthaeus, German legend: "Bernd Schuster is a master, it was impressive to play this game today against him. Bayer Leverkusen has won FC Bayern today just because they have a player called Bernd Schuster. He is the difference. He is the best of the world, he has invented top games today"

Leo Beenhakker, Dutch former coach of Bernd: "I am not surprised of Bernd's performance. He plays every match in the top level. He is a genius. Such kind of players who can think and chose the right game in less than  one second are very special".

German TV journalist Joerg Woentorra, (SAT 1 TV): "Bernd Schuster is every time right. The perfect playmaker will miss the National team if he's not into the group of Vogts' favorites."

German TV journalist Herbert Fassbender, (ARD TV): "I've always said that the German football took a big wrong decision last years when Schuster has been not called for the national team . I could never know him, it was impossible, but now we can know how he is: Modest, sympathetic, reasonable"

Bodo Illgner, German national keeper: "He played for FC Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, an incredible career..."

Rainer Calmund, Bayer Leverkusen General Manager: "I cannot understand why he is sent off several times during the season. A man of his quality cannot loose the nerves like this.

Manolo Preciado, Levante coach leaving to be replaced for Bernd: "I am surprised I will not train here the next season. The president decided to hire Bernd Schuster, who is a legend as a player.

Samuel Banos, Sporting Gijon player close to sign with Levante: "I know the rumours which say I can play in Levante. To be a part of the team of Bernd Schuster is such a wonderful thing, I hope it can be true.

He is a myth and I think I could learn a lot with him"

Angel Cuellar, National player Spain and Levante: "It is impressing to be coached by Schuster, face to face. He has a plus, he was a big one in Europe and in the World, so the respect he deservers is still bigger. It is a privilege to be learning from a person who was on the top and knows on football. He speaks not much, but enough. He is clear and practical, and he has a strong faith in the team and himself so we feel it too"

Michel Platini, French legend: "There is only one player whom I can say he impressed me much. He is the German Bernd Schuster. He was really a top one. I had the chance to play face to face with him, I remember we have played a friendship game in Barcelona in 1982 (UNICEF game) and his movements, his football scoop, his skills... he was a master"

Lucas Alcaraz, Spanish coach: "I will always remember the day he came to congratulate me after we won a game and we promoted to Primera. He was the trainer of a surprising Xerez and it was a  bitter time for him, the most important defeat. It was an historical time for Xerez and they lost the big chance. But he came to our celebration just after the game was over to hold to me and to congratulate us. I am very happy such a big player is driving his career into the coaching subject. He is doing very well and I hope the best for him"

When he speaks to the players, all we are listening to him, he is always right. For the midfielders, it is an advantage to have such a trainer, and I consider myself a lucky player to have such a chance in my football career".

Daniel Guiza, Getafe forward: "Due to my age, my idol is Kiko. But I can remember Bernd Schuster, he was a top star. Bernd Schuster is probably the trainer who has teached to me more things. He knows everything about football. He knows what the players are thinking and we respect him a lot. When he talks, all we are listen to him, no exceptions"

Julio Salinas, National player Spain: "He is the most complet midfielder I have ever seen, phisical, technical and tactically perfect. The conductor with a powerful character and also he was a dangerous scorer. I was face to face with him in some matches and I discovered that the full team followed him with higher faith, he especially appeared to solve critical moments. And psicologically a big winner, he was always in advantage, also now as a coach".

Fabio Capello, Real Madrid coach before loosing vs Getafe: "Schuster? who is Schuster? I do not know him. All you journalists are always talking about the same name"

I hope the best for him in the future wherever he goes and I am grateful to have enjoyed him for 2 seasons in Getafe. It was a coach deluxe, a hit in the History of this club. It will be very difficult to get another coach to reach his level".
Vicente del Bosque, former successful Real Madrid player and coach: "I know him as a player, excellent! what can I say, all you know.

Juan Antonio Camacho former team mate Schuster, now coach: "Bernd Schuster was an absolute extra class, I have never seen or played with a midfielder like him. Absolutely the one and only. Now Bernd has become a top coach and I am very happy he is successful. I am sure, if he has the chance, he will make a great job in Real Madrid. Real needs a person like Bernd, a winner, to lead a new time".

David Belenguer, Getafe's captain:

Abel Resino, former Atletico Madrid team mate, current coach: "As a player, what can I say, a world top class, unforgetable. As a person, I consider myself his friend. As a coach now he has got a very difficult and nice thing in football: to give his own personality to his teams. He will be very soon working in a bigger club: Real Madrid or FC Barcelona"

Gica Craioveanu, former Getafe player: "He seems too much serious for the journalists maybe... but he is not rigid. I mean, he is serious like a German, but he is very nice, he even meet the team for supper some times. He leaves the player to develop his own style, we have freedom to play our way... He is of course ready to go to Real Madrid o to any other big club. He was a great player and we can feel it. The rumours about his improvement to a bigger club is not affecting the players... all they are very proud of it, our performance is contributing to make the coach the centre of all glances".

Ottmar Hitzfeld, German trainer: "Schuster was one of the best midfielders in the world. Now as a trainer I think he is one of the best too, He is doing it very well and he is a very interesting trainer, he should be an interesting profile for a fresh start in FC Bayern".

Franz Beckenbauer, German legend "As a player he was an absolute master, I have to say. Not many players have such quality and performance. As a coach he is very well considered, as he has got excellent results with little clubs. It is a big name to be considered for the future in the important clubs. I am sure. Maybe one day for FC Bayern too.  Unfortunately I think he is not ready right now to coach FC Bayern"

Luis Nieto, Spanish journalist: "Once upon a time he was a genial, transgressor footballer, also unsociable and ill-tempered. Now we discover a new Bernd Schuster as a trainer: good conversor, reflexive, regretful and innovator. He was travelling to watch other trainers live, he played with 3 strikers in the 2 Liga in Germany, he was in Champions League places with tiny clubs Levante and Getafe...He really deserves a chance in a bigger club. If he can see football from the bench as well as he could do it from the midfield....enough! "

Manolo Lama, Sport Journalist SER :"Today there are no Schusters. The best Schuster ever was playing in the EURO 1980 ... there are no money nowadays to buy him. Even to buy the old Schuster, who lead Atletico Madrid in 1993 should be more expensive than Beckham and 4 more Real Madrid players altoghether".

Frank Rijkaard, FC Barcelona coach: "Bernd Schuster is doing very well. As a player he was a master and as a coach he can see the game very well. He really deserves a bigger club to work in. But it depends on him and on the confidence of the big clubs in Bernd Schuster"

Quique Guasch, Spanish Journalist Radio SER :"Every time I see Getafe I can see the big merits of Bernd Schusetr with this team: These players have no quality to control the ball and they are playing offensive trying to rule the game and win the matches with every rival including FC Barcelona or Real Madrid!"
