Most of the clubs who have had success against Barcelona have relied on a highly organised and disciplined defence.
If you want to come out of a sad moment, you have to work really hard.
He was always brilliant, but when Pep Guardiola started to use him as a 'false' No. 9, he got even better. It's impossible to be more of a footballer than Messi.
He's an incredible person. Messi is not simply a uniquely talented footballer. He's also strong mentally, very bright, and exceptionally dedicated to his job. Personally speaking, I enjoy watching him play, and I'm deeply proud of him and what he has achieved. Quite simply, he's the best.
I'm grateful for everything I have achieved in football, but now I'd rather do other things, go and watch games and enjoy discussing them afterwards.
As a player, you are more concerned with the moments when you have possession of the ball or are about to receive the ball. You are watching your team-mates and trying to decide what the possibilities are.
When you are a coach, you are watching how the team is positioning itself on the field - if your team is in possession of the ball, you are already anticipating what could happen if you lose the ball.
I understand very well that if you are a national coach, you want to use all the opportunities that you have to meet up with your team.
The evolution of football has seen a reduction in the space between the teams. It is therefore important for the modern footballer to react and be quicker than in the past, because there is more happening in the restricted space.
No person is the same, and so you can't treat each player identically.
Being a manager is kneading people.
I'm not a guy who believes in revenge.
Ronaldinho is very happy at Barcelona.
It is always a shame when players are injured.
It's not for nothing that they say it's easier to get to the top than to stay at the top.
Manchester United is a world-famous club, and yet if you say, 'Manchester United,' then immediately you think of Sir Alex Ferguson. To have achieved so much and have so much importance at such a big club is extremely rare.
It's normal that if you are working with a lot of people, then you have a lot of different mentalities and characters. You have the serious guy, and you have the one who is always complaining and the one who is always talking. Everyone is different.
I can work with a lot of different mentalities.
Every manager feels a responsibility to his board of directors and the public and the players.
You see a lot of managers who are working and yet are already talking about other countries and other teams. But that's not for me.
