It's a pity we can't play in two or three days as I like to play straight away after a bad game

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.

If a player is not performing, there are two ways of looking at it. You wait for performance to come, or maybe the moment has arrived where you have to change. I could go either way.

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'

A player who dives and wins a penalty in Portugal, or Spain or Italy is considered clever, experienced, cunning, someone who understands the game. In England a player who wins a penalty like that is a cheat.

My history as a manager cannot be compared with Frank Rijkaard's history. He has zero trophies and I have a lot of them.

In five years I have never had a match where my team has had less possession than the opponents.
