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.

I will forgive if the players cannot get it right, but not if they do not try hard.

Neuer is one of the best goalkeepers in history.

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

If you train badly, you play badly. If you work like a beast in training, you play the same way.

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