We are in a world that is quite extremist and extremism makes more noise. Normality does not sell.

I just wanted to defend football, which is not always easy to do. Those of us who have been in the sport so many years now realise we must protect it and look after it. I was speaking about football, what it means. It is our profession, it has been our lives, and we must take care of it a little.

We must look after football and to do what it is necessary to bring to the game the best ethical values and personal behaviour.

No one knows anything about economics. It's the great lie of the economists. By contrast in football people might have contrasting opinions, each of which has some validity. But the economists always speak in conditionals - what a mess.

I think it is important to help our country's image outside of Spain.

Sometimes people say that coach is a winner, but everyone wants to win. You must know how to behave in victory and in defeat, to look after what is our sport, football.

Spain used to be very individualistic in its sporting activities. Now we are showing we are pretty good in teams - that is an improvement.
