"Every victory is worth three points, so it doesn’t matter who we play against. We played our game today and did well, let’s continue in this manner"
About this Quote
The subtext is managerial even if it comes from a striker. "It doesn't matter who we play against" signals that the team wants to define itself by process rather than by the prestige of the fixture. Beat a giant, and you do not get extra credit. Face a weaker side, and you are not entitled to coast. Dzeko is framing professionalism as a habit: same focus, same seriousness, same demand.
The second half of the quote is equally revealing. "We played our game today" suggests control, identity, and tactical coherence; the team did not merely react, it imposed itself. "Let's continue in this manner" turns a post-match comment into a quiet piece of leadership. He is not celebrating a single result so much as trying to extend a mood, to freeze good behavior before emotion scrambles it.
Coming from an athlete, the power of the quote lies in its refusal of drama. It is modest on the surface, but culturally familiar: the seasoned player as stabilizer, translating performance into routine. That kind of rhetoric matters over a long campaign, because consistency is often less glamorous than ambition and far more decisive.
