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.

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

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.

The way I use to develop an aerobic condition is three against three, man to man, in a square 20 metres by 20.

The club is much more important than me, the fans are much more important than me so it's not for me. I'm not working for me, I'm working for the club, for the fans. That's the way I look at things.

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