Sometimes, there isn't respect for our ways, but you can't change people.
The hardest thing in life is reinventing yourself and staying at the top of your game, whilst the hardest thing in football is finding that club you want to stay at.
Diego Costa always gives us physical and moral strength. He is a very important player for the character he transmits to the team, and his potential as a football player.
Football is marvellous and there are countless ways to play and to win.
I do not listen to criticism or flattery, one weakens you and the other angers you.
Football is about balance.
Those who manage to keep the offensive and defensive balance are more successful. We search for balance in order to keep a stable level, which is the most difficult thing to do.
Griezmann is an extraordinary player who adapts to all the needs of the team.

There is no such thing as revenge in football, or in life for that matter, just new opportunities.
As a coach you need to choose the characteristics your players can contribute. I don't think it's a good thing for a coach to analyse his team by looking for something he sees in other teams. He has to pay close attention to the characteristics his team have, and make the most of those.

Fans can't score a goal but they have energy.
Motivation should come from within each player; if not, it's difficult to get results.
A final is a final, and is motivation in itself.
Whenever a fellow coach is sacked it is not good for any of us - it hurts. You just have to accept it because it is part of the game.
Maradona and Messi played in different times and in different positions. Messi is much more a striker, Diego was all over the entire pitch. They are two extraordinary players.
