I always speak with all the players during the week before every game we play, because it's important for them to know what I think and for me to see how they are before the game.

From a personal perspective, I try never to go back to a club where I have already coached.

A lot of young players relax a bit when they reach the first-team, thinking they have reached the finish line, but really, it's just the beginning.

I learned English, French, Italian.

When I live in a country, I always try to learn about the country - not just England, the U.K. as a whole - so I will stay here some days to do something different.

It is never a problem to have good players on the bench.

Life is like a building: it is impossible for anyone to achieve anything without a strong foundation, and the family is the most important foundation you can have.

As a young player, the more games you play and the more you work every day with good players, of course you will improve.

I can't get anything out of an orchestra if I have the 10 best guitarists, but I don't have a pianist or a drummer.
