I take pride in the fact that people go home having felt that for 90 minutes today, life is beautiful - and that's it, basically. That's why professional football exists.

I would be much more annoyed if we hadn't won the game. As a manager, you have to see the positives and I think Pires has a vaccine for the rest of his life.

As far as I'm concerned, this guy should never play football again. The answer you normally get after a tackle like that is 'he is not the type of guy who does that.' It's like a guy who kills one time in his life - it's enough. You have a dead person. This tackle is absolutely horrendous.

Work on your strong points because they are what made you.

If you don't question the officials' role then you've got to ask what they are doing

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.

I am in a job where you always look in front of you. Unfortunately, the older you get, the less distance there is in front of you...
