I listen to everyone but I have my ideas... you know my ideas, my way of playing, and if I have to die by them I will.

We all have to sacrifice a part of ourselves, including the players, for the good of the team.

I have this philosophy of play that I love and my teams play well.

I didn't think Barca could go for me, I have no honors, I don't have a great CV.

I love to watch and have great footballers and if I can watch Neymar every day, just imagine.

Madrid's players are carried along by the football itself, what they feel in each moment; they're not guided by tactical rigor or a specific structure.

Madrid's anarchy can make planning difficult: they're unpredictable. But if you can be defensively sound and use the ball well, making the most of the space they leave, you can do them damage.

Real Madrid are a team who are a little anarchic.

It's true that you often have arguments with players as you do in everyday life and that's nothing new.

For many players the opportunity to be able to play with Messi represents a huge incentive.

I only guarantee one thing when I take over a new club: that we play good football.

I want my team to play well almost all of the time and have possession of the ball.

Any footballer who understands space and time and positioning can become a better player because he knows how to receive the ball alone with time to play a pass or shoot.

I have always thought winning on its own is not enough. You have to have continuity in what you do. The things you do have to last.

I never really understood the game until I saw Cruyff's Barcelona play. The first time that happened it opened up a new world to me. I began to understand that football was a collective thing, and that association between players meant you could keep the ball the whole game.

I'm not going to tell Messi how to live his life - or anyone else, for that matter.

Speak to me about football; the rest doesn't interest me. The rest doesn't help me in my job.

All I'm interested in is giving my players the tools they need to win.

I'm interested in the football; everything outside of that is something I can't control.

Of course I would like to coach Neymar one day.

I don't rule out 3-4-3 or other formations depending on the game.

I've watched Barcelona all my life.

I started to really watch football. To analyze it. To understand what I felt, and what I wanted to put into practice when I became a coach.

I told Cruyff I'd have given my little finger to have played for his team, but not just to play at Barcelona but for how they played, because I saw how the players enjoyed themselves.
