for almost 15 years having had so little success". Also in July 2013, in a new interview, Ramalho spoke about players he had previously coached. According to the coach, Müller, currently a football pundit, was a "difficult player, it was complicated. It was really very hard. He was a excellent player, but ain't easy to work with him". Meanwhile, on the defender Breno, whom Ramalho coached with at São Paulo, he stated, "He thought he was [Franz] Beckenbauer." Ramalho also is known for his roughness and lack of patience with bad journalists and those who work to create a controversy where one does not exist. In April 2014, Ramalho was praised by one journalist in reference to his past as a football player. Ramalho said he was ten times better than the present players of São Paulo. To this day, fans bring flags with his face and name to Estádio do Morumbi. "I played at least ten times better. But they haven't seen it, and I don't talk about it because it is a thing from the past. In this team, I would pick up my number 8 jersey and the coach would only have to think about the other players," he added.
