I want to thank everybody for every day that I have spent at Valencia CF. It has been an honour and a source of pride for me.

Sometimes a polemic tweeter is more important than a normal view.

What you have to become is really strong in what you do. That's the point of building a team. You don't know any other way - it would be absurd to do it any other way.

What sells more, criticism or compliments? What do people like more? They enjoy blood.

I have this absurd feeling that I can win every game with any team.

All coaches say, 'We want to control the game. We want the ball. Blah, blah, blah, blah,' but it's impossible to have the ball all the time.

I was a goalkeeper, but through my career, I spent almost as much time sitting on the bench as I did playing.

I'm a coach who likes to have the ball, but what I really think is, 'How can you be in charge of the game?' I think, but maybe I am the only one, that the defensive process can take care of the game. Why is that? Because teams wait to defend. If you create something where you go to defend, to steal the ball where you want, it's different.

I learned a lot from the coaches I played for.

At Porto, under Jose Mourinho, we won everything with a fantastic group of football players. Mourinho built that. He made us succeed, won everything. This has a big impact.

When you try to build an identity based on one idea, the easy part is to stick with the good things that you do.

Knowing that the teams in front of us are sometimes better than you, you have to recognise that and be humble. It's part of the game.

This is one of the challenges we have: knowing that playing without the ball is just as important as when you have the ball.
