In small space a player has to be capable of acting quickly. A good player who needs too much time can suddenly become a poor player.

The most difficult thing about an easy match is to make a weak opponent play bad football.

He has been outstanding. [Manuel] Neuer is an extraordinary goalkeeper, who would deserve to win it.

He deserves ten out of ten for doing what he does. He is a sensation, but still he can improve. He must know when to move the ball on quickly and when to try the impossible mission. When he learns this, he won't win a single Golden Ball, but an entire collection.

When you play a match, it is statistically proven that players actually have the ball 3 minutes on average ... So, the most important thing is: what do you do during those 87 minutes when you do not have the ball. That is what determines wether you're a good player or not.

If you have the ball, you must make the field as big as possible, and if you don't have the ball, you must make it as small as possible.

Mourinho is a coach of titles, not football. Or rather, not a football coach if we understand the sport is a spectacle or entertainment for those who watch it, either at home or live in the stadium.
