I see Maradona every time he grabs the ball and accelerates.

It has been an honour to be the coach of the best player (Messi) I have ever seen and probably the best I will see.

There is no defence that can stop Messi. It is impossible.

I am not dealing with footballers, I am dealing with people. They have fears and worry about failing and making fools of themselves in front of 80,000 people. I have to make them see that without each other they are nothing.

My advice for Sebastian Kehl is: if you have a 35-point deficit in the league, it is better to shut up.

Lahm is a scandal. He is super-intelligent, understands the game brilliantly, knows when to come inside or to stay wide. The guy is f****** exceptional

Thats the beauty of sport. Sometimes you laugh, sometimes you cry
