I'm not a defender of old or new football managers. I believe in good ones and bad ones, those that achieve success and those that don't.

I intend to give my best, to improve things and to create the football team in relation to my image and my football philosophy. I'm not a defender of old or new football managers. I believe in good ones and bad ones, those that achieve success and those that don't. Please don't call me arrogant, but I'm European champion and I think I'm a special one.

I would rather play with 10 men than wait for a player who is late for the bus.

It is like having a blanket that is too small for the bed, you pull the blanket up to keep your chest warm, and your feet stick out. I cannot buy a bigger blanket because the supermarket is closed. But the blanket I have is made of cashmere. So it's good.

The only thing that we cannot control is our supporters.

If I am hated at Barcelona, it is their problem but not mine. Fear is not a word in my football dictionary.

I must try to hide my emotions. I have to live with both the victory and the defeat.
