I think Rafael Benítez was an angry man. He must have been disturbed for some reason. I think you have got to cut through the venom of it and hopefully he'll reflect and understand what he said was absolutely ridiculous.

I used to have a saying that when a player is at his peak, he feels as though he can climb.

I'm going to tell you the story about the geese which fly 5,000 miles from Canada to France.

You can't applaud a referee.

I realized I was good at developing young people. Eventually I started to believe in young people. I think when you give a young person an opportunity, he always believes who gave him his first chance. You create a loyalty that lasts a lifetime.

I think Paul Scholes is the best player in England. He's got the best skills, the best brain. No one can match him. There isn't a player of his mould anywhere in the world. Paul is irreplaceable.

If you're going to be a footballer, be a great one.If you're going to have a dream, dream big.
