I am not against being pragmatic, because it is pragmatic to make a good pass, not a bad one. If I have the ball, what do I do with it? Could anybody argue that a bad solution like just kicking it away is pragmatic just because, sometimes, it works by accident?

The real revelation of a player's character is not in his social life but in how he plays. In my social life I can hide my real personality.

A manager is a guide. He takes a group of people and says, 'With you I can make us a success; I can show you the way.'

We played a whole season unbeaten but you did not see me every week jumping on the tables. Once it's over it's over and you do in the next one as well as you can. Plenty of managers who have won the Champions League will not be considered great managers.

I'm not scared to spend money. If you go out with me one night, you will understand that.

As a coach you can influence the diet of your players. You can point out what is wrong.
