Lionel Messi is very much the team player, while Cristiano is very ego-driven.

The player can only compete with the best internationally when they've committed themselves to this goal. They have to be properly supported until that point.

I always stressed that I didn't have coaching experience, but that I did have a deadline: June 9.

I had to delegate authority to the people on my staff. That means you shave away the hierarchy.

I train for one-and-a-half hours every day in order to keep my energy level high.

We coaches have to learn how to deal with that: How do I get to each one best - with a talk, with video analysis? And what sort of tone? We need our own coaches for that. The sports psychologist coaches me too.

We Germans are so good at penalties because we have had to rebuild our country twice.
