messi world planets
If Messi is the best in the world, it's only because Cristiano is from another planet.
special needs clubs
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.
league people important
Like me or not, I am the only one who has won the world's three most important leagues. So, maybe instead of the 'Special One', people should start calling me the 'Only One'.
cristiano-ronaldo messi planets
If Messi is the best on the planet, Ronaldo is the best in the universe.
stones thrown monument
With all the stones being thrown against me you could build a monument!
league training world
If Roman Abramovich helped me out in training we would be bottom of the league and if I had to work in his world of big business, we would be bankrupt!
soccer country holiday
Everybody was waiting for Chelsea not to win every game and one day when we lose there will be a holiday in the country. But we are ready for that.
italian winning years
Wenger has been Arsenal's coach for 15 years but he hasn't won even a Carling Cup for six years. Benitez hasn't won a league title in six years but they continue to keep him as Liverpool's coach. This is not the Italian mentality. To stay here I must continue winning and do well.
objectivity knowing airports
Everyone has a right to an opinion. I can arrive in England and express my opinion. If criticism were ferocious and without intellectual objectivity they should show me the way to their airport. It is important to have an opinion and not be afraid to express it, knowing there will be criticism.
soccer football feet
It is like having a blanket that is too small for the bed, you pull the blanket up to keep your chest warm, and your feet stick out. I cannot buy a bigger blanket because the supermarket is closed. But the blanket I have is made of cashmere. So it's good.
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.
