My template for everything is organisation. With the ball you have to know the movement patterns, the rotation, the fluidity and positioning of the team. When we have the football everybody's a player.

If one day I go to a game and I don't feel I can win, maybe I don't go.

I know how it goes. Six or seven months ago I was the manager of the year and I was going to be this and that, tactically this and tactically that, and now, because we have lost two world-class players, I am useless. But I accept that.

I believe a young player will run through a barbed wire fence for you. An older player looks for a hole in the fence, he’ll try and get his way through it some way, but the young player will fight for you.

The best players want to play in the best competition.

It's the nature of it. The players will want to compete at the highest level they possibly can.

If you look at the world-class performers at the top of the game, their numbers are just exceptional and that is the level he is at.
