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.'

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

Of course, we also have the responsibility to win games and the difficulty in the job is to combine both.

It is one of my biggest regrets that Niall Quinn was not here during my time... I felt he was an intelligent player. It would have been a good combination with Thierry Henry. What I like with Quinn is if you look at the player who played next to him, he always scored 40 goals because he had a hand for his head and he just put the ball where you were. He was a team player. A top-class player makes other players look good and he had that player.

We have tried to get closer to them, but we never copied anybody, we always tried to play our football

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.

I believe the target of anything in life should be to do it so well that it becomes an art.
