Everyone plays the ball over the top and, at the moment, we only concede goals from crosses or balls over the top. I feel we will adapt to that.

If I go into a season and I say, 'For f***'s sake, if we don't win anything, they will all leave,' I have already lost. The problem of the media is always to imagine the worst. The problem of the manager is always to imagine the best.

If I give you a good wine, you will see how it tastes and after you ask where it comes from.

If you eat caviar every day it's difficult to return to sausages.

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.'

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