The best players want to play in the best competition.

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.

I've always been one to arrive early for work; preparation is a big part of how I work, and I like to be in my office going through plans for the upcoming training sessions or meetings I have.

I don't see coach job stressful, I really don't. Of course, there is pressure and expectation, but I wouldn't necessarily equate that with stress.

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.

That ability to press immediately, within five or six seconds to get the ball, is important

I'd rather lose a game trying to win it, than lose it trying not to get beat
