My mentality will never change, whoever I am competing with.

When you work for something it will eventually happen and it will be lasting, whereas when things are easy they do not always hold the same value.

We always want to keep a clean sheet, but there are situations we can't control.

I have always seen myself as a Real Madrid goalkeeper and have never doubted my ability.

There are always good times and bad times.

I must keep working with faith, and know that effort and hard work brings its rewards.

I approach every game with the same level of seriousness.

I'm very comfortable in my own skin.

For me, it's enough that I have the first and last word.

I'm really a normal football manager.

The English game is not faster than the German game. Perhaps there are a few more sprints. But there is a different style of football here, partially due to the weather.

It is my job to help the players react better.

As Dortmund manager, I lived in a street, and my two neighbours were Schalke fans. They showed it every day, flying flags!

I was a very average player and became a trainer in Germany with a special club.

Derbies are always difficult to play because you have to handle the pressure. There's no advantage or disadvantage for either side.

The more players I have, the more difficult choices there are for me, but the better it is for LFC.

Coaches will say that it's not important for their team to run more, and they prefer to make games the right way. I want to make games only the right way and run 10 km more.

My problem is I am Christian, so I think other people must have success, too; it's not about me.

I left Mainz after 18 years and thought, 'Next time, I will work with a little less of my heart.' I said that because we all cried for a week. The city gave us a goodbye party, and it lasted a week.

I had no bad moment in my relationship with Dortmund. Not one second.

Louis van Gaal is one of the most successful managers in the world.

There is something special which rides on a game between Liverpool and United.

I was a fighting machine with a will of iron.

I think a father is important for everyone. If you don't have, then maybe not so much. In the world today, it's possible that you grow up with only one parent in the family.
