I can't really see women in football, I don't like to say it but that's how it is.Collection: Women
I like good food and talking about football.Collection: Food
Respect and consistency, as hard work during the week is the only way to earn your place.Collection: Respect
At Milan, Kaka used to work even when we had two or three days off. And our fitness coach, Daniele Tognaccini, made him run.Collection: Fitness
I can mark Messi only in my dreams.Collection: Dreams
Sometimes you need to play with a knife between your teeth.
Kaka, he made history with Milan and if he is loved so much it means he did well.
I have never gambled in my life.
Ancelotti is like a father to me. He's always been close to me and supported me. He's won it all and I still have a lot to prove.
I don't think Italy is a racist country, because there are so many immigrants.
I don't hold back, if I have something to say to someone, I'll say it to their face.
I am not good at making people understand certain things.
Am I afraid of President Maurizio Zamparini's reputation for hiring and firing? No, the only thing I fear is death!
Our mind must be free in order to express our qualities.
In times of difficulty we all have to understand our responsibilities.
It's important that everyone rows in the same direction because I need all my players, those who don't get much playing time too.
I shared so much with Massimo Oddo. He's an intelligent and funny guy whose success speaks for him. He got a few slaps in the face from me for his pranks, as we had very different ideas on how to prepare for a game.
Let's call a spade a spade - this Kaka of Real Madrid is not the same Kaka we used to know.
There is a great deal of fair play in English football.
When you're on the pitch, you should never give up and concede easy goals.
My motto is 'show respect to those who show respect to you.'
As long as my players show respect - not for me, but for the locker room, their team-mates and the club - I will tear my heart out of my chest and let them play keepy-uppy with it.
Being a player and being a coach is really not the same thing at all.
Let's just say that I feel I have the ambition and determination to succeed as a coach.
I have been compared with Antonio Conte and it is an honour to be compared with him. I would love to enjoy the same success he has had as a coach.
It's only normal, I am a player, who doesn't want to play in a European Championship quarter-final?
The World Cup is always difficult, you need to come physically prepared.
Life can be very strange.
There was a rule at Rangers, going back to the 1950s, that players needed to turn up for every training session dressed in a suit and tie. I was a teenager. You'd have been lucky to see me in a jacket even on a Sunday - it just wasn't my style.
Many teams in Europe have no money.
I think my style is perfectly suited to the way the game is played in the U.K.
I like aggressive football and for players to put pressure on the ball.
Deciding to leave Milan's bench is not easy. But it's a decision I had to make.
Being grumpy at not playing is part of the job. If I see someone who is constantly on the bench smiling and laughing, then that's no good either.
You need to ensure you are ready and impress when called upon.
Perhaps I am the worst coach in Serie A, but I always want to win, even playing in the garden with my son.
I knew from day one what I was going into with the Milan job.
Kessie is far better than I ever was, because he has seven or eight goals in his legs per season.
I don't like getting pinned back with a line of four in midfield. You risk losing too much space.
I'm objective because I tell the truth.
Dybala is three pages ahead of the rest in the football manual.
After World Cup 2010 in South Africa I will no longer play for la Nazionale.
I am just enjoying the dream of being Milan coach at the age of 40.
I won't lie, I stole a lot of ideas from Giampaolo.
I always try to field the best team.
It's a must to continue getting positive results and to give playing time to as many players as possible. This way we also administrate our energy levels.
We cannot have players who don't give their soul.
We need to take examples from Flippo Inzaghi.
You have to admit your mistakes and apologise for them.
Gasperini works really well, if Inter picked him up, it is naturally because they had good reasons.
