We have been following Manuel closely for a while. He has been constantly improving and is a very interesting player.

In 16, 17 years as a pro I was used to the head coach doing it alone. He might have asked his people for advice, but he made the decisions on his own. In order to learn quickly I couldn't do that.

We can only win by giving everything and being ready to defeat the adversary with fiery aggression.

I had to delegate authority to the people on my staff. That means you shave away the hierarchy.

Personally, I need a high level of physical fitness in order to feel at ease.

Sure I should have been at the Fifa workshop for example, but I had personal reasons for not being there and looking back saying that it was a mistake for me not being there I would take the same decision because the personal situation has higher priority than a workshop.
