If there isn't a sequence of 15 previous passes, a good transition between attack and defence is impossible. Impossible.

There are teams that wait for you and teams that look for you: Espanyol look for you. I feel very close to their style of football.

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.

Put in the superlatives yourselves, I'm running out. It's already been a while now that he has been outstanding. He's more than decisive in every way. That he's capable of doing everything that he does at his age is something impressive, that doesn't make any sense.

I'm going with the understanding that I've done my duty.

Messi is an irreplaceable player, today if he was here we would have won 5-0 but he was not and we had to play another in his place.

I have learned that when you’re in the right you should fight the world.
