Racing runs in the blood of my family and my dream was to do the Dakar one day.

I'm going to be direct with the players. If they don't like it, then I'm sorry.

It's not easy to play for Atletico. Talent is not enough, the bar is very high.

When we were children we played on the street - on tarmac and things like that.

It's quite possible that Beckham suffers from a mental block at big tournaments

We should not fool ourselves. We are not one of the world's top teams any more.

You have to know, when there is a fire in the kitchen, when to flood that fire.

I am not going to fiddle taxes. I pay my accountant a fortune to look after me.

I love animals, all animals - apart from cats. I'm a little bit scared of cats.

Football wears you out, and when things are not going well, it's not enjoyable.

It is not normal that one team dominates for 20 years in a row as the champion.

We have to be careful not to let our game not be the game we know it should be.

We can't keep playing catch up as we have done for every season I've been here.

In the national team, the armband always goes to the player with the most caps.

I don't like talking past the next game. It's never served me right in the past.

I always question myself, but I always say, 'Come on, we can do something good.'

I've had my down times, as every manager does, but I bounce back pretty quickly.

I think sometimes you need a run and a bit of confidence with getting the goals.

I would never close the door on any job because I like to work, I like football.

When it's a clash between two big teams, you know your players will concentrate.

I couldn't be more chuffed if I were a badger at the start of the mating season!

For me, it is important that your team is allowed to have ups and downs in form.

I was a very average player and became a trainer in Germany with a special club.

I will do my job: I will try to win every game until the last minute. That's it.

I like to take up difficult challenges and work hard towards achieving my goals.

There are players whose only target is their day off, and that is a big problem.

Sometimes I miss coaching, but often things are not how they appear in football.

As a manager, you look at who is going to get the fans on the edge of the seats.

No disrespect to the country. It's a wonderful place, the where's he gone again?

I do appreciate that the most important thing as manager is to get good results.

I don't want to portray myself as a hardman in management or anything like that.

I didn't take the Porto job nor the Chelsea job because Jose made the same steps.

Racism - whether it's in football or society, there's absolutely no place for it.

It doesn't hurt to look 75 to 100 years out, That's a gift to future generations.

To manage another country? No, I wouldn't. That's not something I would consider.

I'm not a one-man show. I was never that in my life, and I never want to be that.

I had no interest in continuing with Real Madrid in the way that we were working.

We're football people, not poets, but obviously I'm disappointed with the result.

I am not a city guy; I like peaceful surroundings and maybe a walk around a lake.

Real Madrid approach each match and each competition with the idea of winning it.

To manage is to decide the team, the substitutions, and everything until the end.

In my day, 20-year-olds already had 150 first-team appearances under their belts.

People say 'go with the flow' but do you know what goes with the flow? Dead fish.

I want to entertain, I want Newcastle United that is the best it can possibly be.

You have to be as truthful as you possibly can. That's always been my philosophy.

I am an individual who has that hunger for success and I want to keep it that way.

I hope I can fulfill all my ambitions at Everton. But you never know in this game.

I am who I am: confident, arrogant, dominant, honest, hard-working and innovative.

We know that we have achieved something important for the club and for Villarreal.

It's not my duty to respond to what Mourinho says. I don't know the way he thinks.
