football league specialists
He's a specialist in failure.
football sleep league
Brendan's chihuahua doesn't do that. During the week it sleeps, eats and trains a little bit. So I have to say his chihuahua is a privileged one.
pressure thirds no-pressure
There is no pressure at the top. The pressure is being second or third.
men squares use
The way I use to develop an aerobic condition is three against three, man to man, in a square 20 metres by 20.
player years two
The Porto players were with me for two and a half years, they believed in me, in my methods, in the way we do it. The next day I go and a manager arrives who works completely differently.
trying faces easy
Facing the press is not easy, but because you have to go, you have to try to take a lot of positive things for yourself from these face-to-face meetings.
football thinking giving
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.
football believe achieve
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.
revenge winning thinking
If you look at revenge we are still winning three one you know, so I don't think it is a question of revenge, is a question of a personal thing
beautiful jobs champions-league
If I wanted to have an easy job, working with the big protection of what I have already done before, I would have stayed at Porto - beautiful blue chair, the Uefa Champions League trophy, God, and after God, me.
zero trophies arrogant
My history as a manager cannot be compared with Frank Rijkaard's history. He has zero trophies and I have a lot of them.
men player waiting
I would rather play with 10 men than wait for a player who is late for the bus.
home play atmosphere
Especially when you play at home, you need a good atmosphere behind you.
team thinking winning
But I think it's more normal for my team to have no success than it is to win two consecutive European cups.
