We need the whole squad, every player of the team, if we are to be successful.

In football, the worst things are excuses. Excuses mean you cannot grow or move forward.

The most difficult thing in football is to score a goal.

I am grateful to be here, and I will always be grateful for the opportunity Manchester City gave me.

Creating something new is the difficult part. To make it and build it and get everyone to follow? Amazing.

People talk about tactics, but when you look at it, tactics are just players. You change things so that the team can get the most out of the skills they have to offer, but you don't go any further than that.

I try to be positive. I speak to my players about how we have to play, respect the rules. What I have done is always be positive.

I don't like it when a player says, 'I like freedom; I want to play for myself.' Because the player has to understand he is part of a team with 10 other players. If everyone wants to be a jazz musician, it will be chaos. They will not be a team, and nothing will be possible.

The fundamentals, what I want, which is to take the ball, try to play as offensive as possible and dominate the game through the ball, is the same. I grew up with that; I was a player with that idea, and I am a coach with that idea.
