When I go to the press conference before the game, in my mind the game has already started...

I don't say we are a defensive team. I say we are a strong team in defensive terms, but at the same time lacking sufficient fluidity in attack because that will take time to come.

Please don't call me arrogant, but I'm European champion and I think I'm a special one.

You have to work hard AND well. There are a lot of people who work hard but not well.

I hate to speak about individuals. Players don't win you trophies, teams win trophies, squads win trophies.

You win by effort, by commitment, by ambition, by quality, by expressing yourself individually but in the team context.

Arsenal have won that advantage, nobody gave it to them. By playing fantastic football and by winning matches and by winning trophies, they won that respect that the opponent has for them.

The title race is between two horses and a little horse that needs milk and needs to learn how to jump.

Look, I'm a coach, I'm not Harry Potter. He is magical, but in reality there is no magic. Magic is fiction and football is real.

Football is a more beautiful game in high definition.

Like me or not, I am the only one who has won the world's three most important leagues. So, maybe instead of the 'Special One', people should start calling me the 'Only One'.

I felt a lunatic’s laugh welling up inside me.

I'm bound to say that New York's a topping place to be exiled in. Everybody was awfully good to me, and there seemed to be plenty of things going on, and I'm a wealthy bird, so everything was fine.

The only real problem in life is what to do next.

Creativity makes life more fun and more interesting.

We save the world by being alive ourselves.

God's leaders should be motivated by humility and love.

Seize the moments of happiness, love and be loved! That is the only reality in the world, all else is folly.

The only thing which can keep journalism alive - journalism, which is born of the moment, serves the moment, and, as a rule, dies with the moment - is - again the Stevensonian secret! - charm.

As every cockroach knows, thriving on poisons is the secret of success.

I don't think you understand what a job really is when you're a teenager.
