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

I didn't know the English were good at swimming. I have been in this country for 12 years and I haven't seen a swimming pool.

I believe in work, in connections between the players, I think what makes football great is that it is a team sport. You can win in different ways, by being more of a team, or by having better individual players. It is the team ethic that interests me, always.

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...

It's silly to work hard the whole week and then spoil it by not preparing properly before the game.

When you give success to stupid people, it makes them more stupid sometimes and not more intelligent.

At some clubs success is accidental. At Arsenal it is compulsory.
