I'd prefer to have 10 players scoring 10-15 goals than one scoring 25.

Messi is the greatest, but he has always been surrounded by other great players.

If you offer a player a new contract, and a good contract, that means you want to keep the player.

I know English football people say you have to look out for young players, that maybe they can play 15 or 20 games but not more. They are afraid. I am not afraid to put young players in. I am not afraid but maybe they are.

When you bring Van Gaal in the house, you bring in quality. But you also bring in someone who thinks he knows everything. And that will cause clashes.

If you have a lot of injuries for a long period, that makes it more normal to bring in new players.

Everything would have been different for Barcelona without Messi.

If you don't have that ambition you start to be sloppy and that is not what I like to be.

I hate players who always play the ball back to the goalkeeper.

I like my life and I like to be positive.

I played with Romario. Sometimes you think he's sleeping, then in one split second he's scoring. It's a big quality. That means a lot of concentration for defenders. He's always fast, always on the line of sight. That's his best quality.

I think we have very good facilities for the youth in Holland. We have very good youth coaches and I think that is some of the reasons that always Holland has very good football players.

I don't read the comments of fans, no.

When you build the house, you don't start with the roof.

If you are a happy man then you can give your best.

When I spoke to Everton, the plan, the project, the history of the club was interesting. If I didn't see ambition in Everton I wouldn't come to Everton and that's maybe a good message to all of the players.

I respect and admire the Premier League.

In football, as in life, as in business, everything can be talked about and discussed.

When my two boys were growing up and asking me about what I did and what kind of player I was I showed them all the matches from the European Championships in 1988 when we beat Germany in the semi-final and won the final against Russia.

I sort of collect watches.

When I was a player it was not normal that I would cook at home but now that I have more time, I do sometimes. I like it, I like to cook and maybe sometime I would like to have some lessons.

It's an easy answer, as a manager, to say: 'I need time.'

It's all about the qualities of the players. The better the players, the easier it is for the manager.

That's the difference between outside and playing in the Premier League.
