I've never been ashamed of being the ham or the provocateur, as it were, in my style of commentary or my style of showmanship.

One thing that I've learned is that you don't have to be a prima donna or think you are better than other people in order to succeed.

I believe the biggest stigma right now, with mental health, is that a lot of men are not talking about it.

It's difficult to compete if you are not consistent.

Juventus are specialists because they have the habit to win and the habit to put pressure on the referee. It's a club with a culture to try to do everything to help the team.

The fact is I have an interpreter because he gives me the security that, when I have to answer complex questions, and with my complex answers, it's much better I have an interpreter to make sure nothing is misconstrued.

I'm someone who likes new things, likes change. But I also like challenges. I was a little bit of a prisoner to my challenge each time.

If you are 25, 30, 35, you need to think you can learn every day. If not, you are going to go backwards, and of course you are going to fail, and you begin to see the end of your career.

I think all the players need coaching; if you do not push the player, they are going to be too comfortable. Always, you need to push.

It is always in my nature to work like you are going to be at the club forever, for your life.

It is always in our dream to win, and you need to dream of bigger things.

I live in the present; there is nothing more important than that.

To be a player is so difficult.

I feel very important at Tottenham, very comfortable, and I enjoy the journey a lot.

I love to work and feel part of the project: to share and create something special.

Rather than complain about a thing you cannot change, I try to find a solution to help the performance in the best way.

When the club offers you the job, they say what the club expects from you. If the club says to you, 'I want you to win the Champions League, the Premier League, the Carabao Cup,' you say, 'OK, you want to win this and this and this? Can you give me this and this and this?'

My ambition is to win the Champions League one day with Tottenham, or the Premier League.

What puts you in a different level is if you win the Premier League, and you're capable of challenging every season for the Premier League, and if you play Champions League, and you really believe, and you're a real contender one day to win the Champions League. That's my objective in Tottenham.

When you play for Barcelona, there is always pressure to win - you play for something special. It's the same when you player for Tottenham; the names are not important.

We have seen that many teams, both in La Liga and the Premier League, have the economic capacity to steal a star from an important team.

I work with young people, and I know that we must be careful. Newspaper headlines, sudden notoriety, and important comparisons can lead to confusion.

We have short memories in football.

After games, my wife gives me a lot of advice and criticism. Sometimes, I am upset. I say, 'Why do you advise me this?' But I like it, because to listen to a different point of view is always important. You can find a different position or point of view that can help you to be more creative.
