I don't drive a truck, I drive a team of footballers who work for a major club like Atleti.
When the opposition team sense that there is fear, they take advantage without mercy.
He who brings a style to a club that can't carry it out, he is not a good manager, because he is attacking the club that hires him.
The characteristics of people according to their star sign are similar, and we pay attention to how we can get the best out of them.
Every footballer has their own identity. A Uruguayan player is different to a Spanish player. A Portuguese player may be similar to a Spanish one, but not the same - and so on.
Finding myself in a final with Atletico makes me happy. Why? Because I know the feelings of all the people at the club - because I know how the players feel. They need to see their team as champions, so we have more fans every day.
Football is wonderful because no one is right: there's no absolute truth.
Catania was a real learning curve. I grew amid difficulties. In terms of courage and ideas, a lot about my Atleti comes from Italy.
I was 27 or 28 years old when I really decided I would become a manager. I would go home from training at Lazio, grab a folder and pretend I was taking a training session. You know the way kids imagine things, when they are playing? I would do the same as an adult, playing at being a manager.
As a coach, the greatest passion you can have is for improving players.
If there is one thing I am, it is very hard-headed. If I want something, I go after it - and I go after it ad nauseum.
It's difficult to get ready to face a player like Cristiano Ronaldo. He's a goal animal.
A coach I admire? Jurgen Klopp. No doubt.
It is always good and important that the strikers score.
Football is like boxing because you have to know when it is time to attack.
I'm very happy in charge at Atletico. The squad give me commitment, talent and style.
Football is everything, mind, heart, talent.
The only improvement I know in football is through work, it is the only way for the team to grow.
Football is like hunting. One second can change it all, but it's not just any second, it's a flash. The prey is there and suddenly then it's not. In an instant it's over - you won't have the chance again. You need to know which one precise second to train for, and to understand that moment.
I relate football with boxing, with a street fight. In both cases there is always one moment, a second, in which someone shows fear in their eyes, in their body. In football it's exactly the same.
