I do not listen to criticism or flattery, one weakens you and the other angers you.

I think talk is cheap - when I hear people say what they'd like to happen, I think it's empty.

Liga MX is a great environment, the fans are very enthusiastic.

It's not enough to just have talent at Atletico Madrid. At other clubs it is, but we can't sign superstars and have to look for players with a good work ethic.

Winning is always beautiful.

The characteristics of people according to their star sign are similar, and we pay attention to how we can get the best out of them.

As a coach you need to choose the characteristics your players can contribute. I don't think it's a good thing for a coach to analyse his team by looking for something he sees in other teams. He has to pay close attention to the characteristics his team have, and make the most of those.

There are those who discredit a style or a way of playing and those who accept all the different styles.

Finding myself in a final with Atletico makes me happy. Why? Because I know the feelings of all the people at the club - because I know how the players feel. They need to see their team as champions, so we have more fans every day.
