You can't win every year. This is impossible in England.

For me, David Silva is a fantastic player because his technique is incredible, and he understands when the right time to pass the ball is.

We need to remember that simply being Inter is not enough to win football matches.

You can win with strong players, but you cannot win with angels.

Young people are our future, and I always want to help them to grow.

It's important that a player can play in different positions for if we have to change tactics.

Balotelli can play as a striker, as a winger.

Manchester is the same as Milan. The weather is the same, and you have two big clubs fighting against each other.

In every city where there are two teams, the rivalry is very intense. Rome, Milan, everywhere - it's very strong.

When you have a team that has won for 20 years, the mentality is strong. When you don't play well, you still know you are a strong team.

I like English football because you play all the games from the start of the Premier League to the very last game always 100%. Even when squads in the last two or three games have just been relegated, they still play 100%.

The national team can do so much for Italian football, as can even lads who no-one knows or who play in the lower Leagues.

You should always play 100 per cent, and you shouldn't expect every decision from the referee.

In Italy, you get three or four goals, you go slow, you stop.

I don't think Mourinho wants to have friends, or maybe that's just the way he likes to appear.

I'm very happy about what I did in Manchester. I love the Manchester City supporters, and I had a fantastic experience.

After you win a Premier League, the second year is more difficult.

I like being angry every day.

I've always been the same. I've had the same mentality ever since I was playing with my friends at school. I want to win. I only want to win.

I don't like to participate at anything and not finish first.

I like to go out on my bike. That's when I do my thinking. Two or three hours on the roads - that's when you get time, and you can think without problems.

You are there to score goals, and doing so shows respect for your opponent, it demonstrates that you are taking him seriously.

In Italy, everyone is talking about the referee for three days before the game - 'We don't like him. He is no good.'

I played for Bologna in Serie A when I was 16, and those experiences made me this person. Just as importantly, I never played for a big club. My teams were normal, ordinary, but through hard work, we became successful.

Balotelli I have known since I gave him his debut at 17.

In Italy, some managers want distance from the players, the Fabio Capello style, but that is not my way. I am more like Carlo Ancelotti. There are aspects of the players' behaviour I do not understand, but I want them to respect our situation. If they do that, I have a lot of respect for them, too, and I will do everything to help them.

I like the Bundesliga.

I don't think there can be a player who doesn't play and is happy.

I'm against cigarettes, always.

When you work, you know you can have some problem with the players. This is normal because the manager wants the players to work hard, play well, and the players should understand this.

Sometimes it is difficult to understand why some players have certain agents.

It's not difficult to manage Tevez. We had a good relationship always.

It is normal to be under pressure in England and Italy when you arrive in the last two months of the season. Every manager is talked about, and their squad is examined.

When you go to another country, you can work with different players in different situations, in a different culture.

Every manager can improve.

I am sure that I have improved in England.

I have great respect for him. Sir Alex has won many trophies and is the most important manager in the world.

Inter and their fans have always remained in my heart.

In every club, 11 players are happy and the others unhappy. This is correct because if one player doesn't play and is happy, he's crazy.

Cristiano is one of the best players in the world.

I'm sorry to see Balotelli waste his talent the way he does, but I think he can keep people entertained by scoring goals.

In my day, 20-year-olds already had 150 first-team appearances under their belts.

Racist behaviour must be stigmatised so that it can be no more.

Sometimes a player thinks it's enough what they did the year before and doesn't understand that every day they should improve.

Sometimes you get players who think it is not important to work, and this is their worst mistake.

Neymar is a good player.

If you have a top winger, you are going to win a lot of games.

Football is strange, especially after a World Cup.

For a player, it is important to work and work well and improve every day in pre-season.

Do I have the mental strength? I left home when I was 13 years old.
