soccer football kids
If Ashley Cole is ready we have 15 players for the final. I'll have to choose between Hilario, who's not bad playing forward or I'll bring in one of the kids.
soccer football beats
Eleven against eleven they never beat us.
selfish world aggressive
The world is so competitive, aggressive, consumive, selfish and during the time we spend here we must be all but that.
italian way imagine
In the same way that I had to follow an Italian manager here, I can imagine that it was not easy for an Italian manager to follow me at Porto.
zero trophies arrogant
My history as a manager cannot be compared with Frank Rijkaard's history. He has zero trophies and I have a lot of them.
dream pride want
We want to follow a dream, yes it's true, but it's one thing to follow a dream and another to follow an obsession...A dream is more pure than obsession. A dream is about pride.
christmas father years
I was nine or 10 years old and my father was sacked on Christmas Day. He was a manager, the results had not been good, he lost a game on December 22 or 23. On Christmas Day, the telephone rang and he was sacked in the middle of our lunch.
respect-me like-me
You don't have to love me. You don't even have to like me, but you will respect me.
pressure thirds no-pressure
There is no pressure at the top. The pressure is being second or third.
liars leaving clubs
If at the end of the season I'm leaving the club, you have the right to come to me and say: 'Jose, you are a liar'
ghana phones president
Would you phone the president of Ghana?
home play atmosphere
Especially when you play at home, you need a good atmosphere behind you.
minutes enjoy professional-life
I enjoy the work, I enjoy every minute of my professional life.
soccer football fun
For me pressure is bird flu. I'm serious. I'm feeling a lot of pressure with the problem in Scotland. It's not fun and I'm more scared of it than football. Football is nothing compared with life. For me bird flu is the drama of the last few days. I'll have to buy a mask.
