There are only two or three places in Britain with Catholic and Protestant cathedrals, and Liverpool is one. My wife Montse and I like to go to both of them.
How can you tell your wife you are just popping out to play a match and then not come back for five days?
The difference between players is not always the quality but their mentality.
When you are playing well, the players play with more confidence, sometimes without changing anything.
I understand 100 per cent why someone would want to buy Newcastle United. It's very clear: it has the potential to be one of the top sides.
If Chelsea are naive and pure then I'm Little Red Riding Hood.
When someone gets angry during a training session but then does their job, there's no problem; it's fine.
You are under pressure when you play to avoid relegation.
When you are the manager, you want to win.
Sometimes you have to praise players.
Players want to join a club that's ambitious.
The most important thing is that my players work well. What people say on the outside is not important.
As a manager, you are important sometimes, and you make mistakes, but the most important people are your staff and your players. Never call me 'the special one!'
As a manager, I have to keep calm.
I am a Madrid fan.
If you are a referee, it's not easy because everyone wants to win, and so there will be cheating.
There are many coaches who talk about referees every day.
I have always had sympathy for Atletico Madrid because, among other things, I have friends there, and my father always liked Atletico.
For me, there is only one club in England, and that's Liverpool.
As I see it, Seedorf and I are coaches who handle the concept of a more proactive game.
If the owner wants to support the team, that's okay. If the owner can be on the pitch and score a couple of goals, it would be better!
I was lucky to see Di Stefano, on the pitch, in person. He was a winner, as is Raul.
Sometimes you have to manage, and you have to sell two or three players who aren't playing many games.
I am consistent rather than courageous.
I've worked with so many teams, so many dressing rooms.
With Tenerife, we had to fight in the most difficult second division in Spain with Atletico Madrid, Sevilla, and Real Betis, and we were promoted. I know you have to fight until the last day. We were promoted in the last game.
I like 'Only Fools and Horses' and 'Father Ted.'
Chelsea is a big club with fantastic players; every manager wants to coach a such a big team. But I would never take that job, in respect for my former team at Liverpool, no matter what.
I have said many times that I am convinced that Benzema is a great striker, and I think he has demonstrated that.
I will do my job: I will try to win every game until the last minute. That's it.
We want to win trophies and be in the record books.
I go to the training ground early in the morning, between 7:30 A.M. and 8:30 A.M. Not just me, my staff. Then, sometimes I leave at 8 P.M. or 6 P.M.
