JOSE MOURINHO

You have to win and especially, as I have, you have to win a trophy for the first time.

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

So I know all about the ups and downs of football, I know that one day I will be sacked.

The team is completely close. Anything you say outside, there is no chance it will go inside. So the team is really strong and compact. We know what we want and how to achieve it on the pitch.

I'm not a defender of old or new football managers. I believe in good ones and bad ones, those that achieve success and those that don't.

Football is a more beautiful game in high definition.

When I face the media, maybe I don't feel it now, here with you, because it's a different sort of interview, but when I face the media before or after the game, I feel it as part of the game.

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

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.

I was nine or 10 years old and my father was sacked on Christmas Day. He was a manager, the results had not been good, he lost a game on December 22 or 23. On Christmas Day, the telephone rang and he was sacked in the middle of our lunch.

The only thing that we cannot control is our supporters.

Unhappy is a nice word.

In the same way that I had to follow an Italian manager here, I can imagine that it was not easy for an Italian manager to follow me at Porto.

And I think because of the passion of every English player and every English supporter, and every English journalist for the game, most of the game is played with passion, love for football and instinct, but in football you also have to think.

The only thing I would like is to have more control of the game in terms of possession.

The world is so competitive, aggressive, consumive, selfish and during the time we spend here we must be all but that.

So if one day the result becomes 3-3, for me it doesn't change my mind, because it's football, it's normal. What is not normal is that we haven't been scoring enough goals playing such good football as we've been playing in the last few weeks.

I think the best place to work in football is England.

I enjoy the work, I enjoy every minute of my professional life.

The way I use to develop an aerobic condition is three against three, man to man, in a square 20 metres by 20.

I feel I have a lot to learn from English football and I am completely open to good influences in my way of thinking football. But I also have things to give them.

Look at the way teams play against Arsenal. They don't believe they can win. They don't believe.

So when they have Mourinho and Benitez joining the Premiership they should say it's good for us, maybe these guys have something new to give.

The negative side of football. The negative side of our society. People sometimes go to football and bring to it the negative aspects of our society.

Sometimes you see beautiful people with no brains. Sometimes you have ugly people who are intelligent, like scientists.
