A great pianist doesn't run around the piano or do push ups with his fingers. To be great, he plays the piano. ...being a footballer is not about running, push-ups or physical work generally. The best way to be a great footballer is to play.

I hate to speak about individuals. Players don't win you trophies, teams win trophies, squads win trophies.

The team is completely close. Anything you say outside, there is no chance it will go inside. So the team is really strong and compact. We know what we want and how to achieve it on the pitch.

There is no pressure at the top. The pressure is being second or third.

Football is a game based on emotion and intelligence. Anyone can be clever, the trick is not to think the other guy is stupid.

When I was at Porto my team also played in the UEFA Cup final against a Scottish side - but it was Celtic. I've never seen such emotional people. It was unbelievable!

So I know all about the ups and downs of football, I know that one day I will be sacked.
