The best way to stop Messi is when you play with 11 men and then you can double mark him, one player to stay on him and the other to help out. If it is 11 against 10 then you have almost no chance of stopping him.
Football is a more beautiful game in high definition.
You have to work hard AND well. There are a lot of people who work hard but not well.
If a player is not performing, there are two ways of looking at it. You wait for performance to come, or maybe the moment has arrived where you have to change. I could go either way.
Look, I’m a coach, I’m not Harry Potter. He is magical, but in reality there is no magic. Magic is fiction and football is real.
If Messi is the best in the world, it’s only because Cristiano is from another planet.
Unhappy is a nice word.
If you want me to rule out ever being Manchester United manager, I can’t. Special clubs need special managers, so in theory it could work.
No club moves me from Chelsea until Chelsea wants me to move because I want to be where I am loved.
I hate to speak about individuals. Players don’t win you trophies, teams win trophies, squads win trophies.
