You know I don't think there will ever be a time when the English player is not respected, and feared, across the world of football. The English footballer is very brave and strong and committed and there is always enough high-class players in his team to cause concern in any opponent. It is a national characteristic.

If you play on possession, you don't have to defend, because there's only one ball

Football is about having the best offensive play possible. I always like to play offensive football, and nobody will convince me otherwise.

I'm ex-player, ex-technical director, ex-coach, ex-manager, ex-honorary president. A nice list that once again shows that everything comes to an end.

Before I make a mistake, I don't make that mistake.

Football is simple but the hardest thing to do is play simple football.

I still have a lot of room for improvement.
