The last player you want the ball to go to is the best player on the planet.

I will be the one lifting that trophy, not Paolo Maldini. Imagine me hoisting the trophy. It is an image I have in my mind and I want to make it a reality. We have world-class players and, believe me, they are in the mood to do it. The atmosphere around the club at the moment is just top-class.

I tried to nutmeg him. It never came off and he gave me a slap on the back of the head and told me to start behaving

We've proved a lot of people wrong so far but the job is not finished yet and if we come home from Istanbul empty handed then it would be a disaster.

It's probably been the worst three months of my life.

Don't try to beat the goalkeeper...Tr y to destroy the goalkeeper.

I think it all goes down to who plays the better football on the night.
