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

I followed an Italian manager and it cannot be easy when you follow a manager who thinks very differently.

For me pressure is bird flu. I'm serious. I'm feeling a lot of pressure with the problem in Scotland. It's not fun and I'm more scared of it than football. Football is nothing compared with life. For me bird flu is the drama of the last few days. I'll have to buy a mask.

In the same way that I had to follow an Italian manager here, I can imagine that it was not easy for an Italian manager to follow me at Porto.

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.

If at the end of the season I'm leaving the club, you have the right to come to me and say: 'Jose, you are a liar'

I feel I have a lot to learn from English football and I am completely open to good influences in my way of thinking. But I also have things to give them.
