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.

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

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

But I think it's more normal for my team to have no success than it is to win two consecutive European cups.

You win by effort, by commitment, by ambition, by quality, by expressing yourself individually but in the team context.

As we say in Portugal, they brought the bus and they left the bus in front of the goal.

Sometimes you see beautiful people with no brains. Sometimes you have ugly people who are intelligent, like scientists.
