My job is to work hard, together with my players, to improve.

It is important and a good sign when somebody compares you with a good coach.

I need to improve every day.

I'm sure if I continue to do my work maybe good things will come in the future but for me the most important thing is always the next day, the next training and the next match.

My players, because they work with me every day, they know my commitment and how I work.

Some things you can't control.

In football, whatever can happen can happen when the team performs well and sometimes when the team does not perform as well.

I will try to do my job to the best of my ability.

We need to win points for our fans.

You never know what's going to happen, not just after two months, but tomorrow, you never know what's going to happen.

When you believe in one player to improve the squad, you have to do everything that is possible for us as a club to sign these players.

The expectations? It is normal at a club like Everton. We want to win every game, do everything that we can to win our matches, and at the end we'll see our position.

When you have good players in your squad that means other clubs are looking to them as well. For me, it is a normal situation in football.

In football it is impossible to win every match but we must do everything to show in every game that we have ambition.

We'll work hard every day to prepare for the matches and to do our best in every game.

We want to play good football, so that our fans feel well when they come to see our team play.

It is easy to understand when Everton performed better it was when they had stability.

You need to have your feet on the floor sometimes but you cannot take away the ambitions of the fans.

Always, always, always when you prepare for a game, you prepare to win the match.

Our fans can push our squad, even if they were not happy with the last match, and create a strong atmosphere.

I believe in my job and I believe in my players.

The formation is not the most important thing.

To play with mobility is what matters.

When I prepare for a game the names are not really important to me.

You cannot find one team in the Premier League who can win at a place like Old Trafford regularly. The word 'regularly' makes it sound easy to win.

We always prepare for winning the match.

I don't know if desperate is the right word but I know the fans have a big, big desire to see Everton challenging for titles and to win something but we have to go day by day.

When you are professional and working in a club like Everton, the obligation is to be motivated, to be focused.

It would be ideal to have someone scoring a goal in every game but that is not easy.

Even the best team in the world can improve.

Every week we work really hard on that, in our defensive and offensive set pieces, and in our routines as well.

Details make the difference in football today. It is part of our process.

Often in football a game is really balanced and one small detail will make the difference between winning and losing. We try to find the detail that makes the difference for us.

Derbies are always special, special games and moments for the city and the people.

What I want in my squad and my players is to fight for our goal.

Sometimes in a derby it is not always easy to see a very good game with big quality but the power of one derby means you can see good things happen after one result.

In my career I have achieved important titles.

For me, it's ambition. You want more, always. When you achieve one step you need to get the second step.

I have one idea: if you play better then you have a better chance to win. So my teams are dominant and I want them to be like that.

The results are one thing but it's important for me how we achieve the results.

Being a manager is more than a job. It's my passion. From the moment I wake up in the morning it's my passion.

Football is not just about physical, technical, tactical. It's mental, really.

It's important to know as much as I can about the players.

I don't have doubts that Everton is a big club.

If I have an idea of football, and I am the manager, it doesn't make sense for the club to find players with a different profile.

With good relationships and a good environment, you can achieve things more easily.

To see professionals working hard every day, making a big commitment to the club with a desire to improve every day is something I want. That's the only way they can play with me.

I can't just look at my position as a job. It's my passion.

I have an ambition to win and you always must use it to drive you.

As a 26-year-old player I had tried to understand why I was doing certain things and why the coach was telling me to do certain things. I started to view myself as a coach would.
