football years league
The problem with Chelsea is I lack a striker. I have Samuel Eto'o but he is 32 years old - maybe 35, who knows?
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.
winning hands years
Ranieri? He's right in what he says: I am very demanding of myself and I need to win to be secure about things. That's why I've won so many trophies in my career. He, on the other hand, has the mentality of someone who doesn't need to win and at nearly 70 years old he has won a Supercoppa and another small cup. He's too old to change his mindset.
christmas father years
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.
jobs thinking years
Three years without a Premiership title? I don't think I would still be in a job.
italian winning years
Wenger has been Arsenal's coach for 15 years but he hasn't won even a Carling Cup for six years. Benitez hasn't won a league title in six years but they continue to keep him as Liverpool's coach. This is not the Italian mentality. To stay here I must continue winning and do well.
team years inspirational-soccer
In five years I have never had a match where my team has had less possession than the opponents.
football reality years
The reality is he's a specialist because eight years without a piece of silverware ... that is failure.
hands years giving
Ten years ago I also had a very difficult decision to make when we had (Carlo) Cudicini giving fantastic performances in Chelsea’s goal for many years. I had in my hands a 22-year-old goalkeeper I thought could be in Chelsea’s goals for years and years and years and this situation is quite similar.
against matches reality work
No, I'm not bitter. The reality is there were two matches where I couldn't work against Bayern Munich.
beaten debate liverpool matches reality six
There is always a lot of debate but the reality is in six matches Liverpool have only beaten us once,
terms
The only thing I would like is to have more control of the game in terms of possession.
work
When you just work tactically, in pure football sessions, you can see the way they can think football.
card direct percent position red
A direct red card must be a 101 percent red card and from the position I was it didn't look like that to me.
