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

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.

When I first came to Arsenal, I realised the back four were all university graduates in the art of defending. As for Tony Adams, I consider him to be a doctor of defence. He is simply outstanding.

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?

Private life is private life. Off the pitch, there is private life, and the rest is social life, where of course you have to behave responsibly.

When you look at people who are successful, you will find that they aren't the people who are motivated, but have consistency in their motivation.

At a young age winning is not the most important thing... the important thing is to develop creative and skilled players with good confidence.
