Jose Mourinho
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.
You have to win and especially, as I have, you have to win a trophy for the first time.
So I know all about the ups and downs of football, I know that one day I will be sacked.
But I think it's more normal for my team to have no success than it is to win two consecutive European cups.
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.
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.
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.
In football, the only game I know is the 90-minutes game. It's not mind games; I don't try to do that.
You don't have to love me. You don't even have to like me, but you will respect me.Collection: Respect Me

You have to work hard AND well. There are a lot of people who work hard but not well.Collection: Volleyball
A great pianist doesn't run around the piano or do push ups with his fingers. To be great, he plays the piano. ...being a footballer is not about running, push-ups or physical work generally. The best way to be a great footballer is to play.Collection: Soccer
In my teams, when we win, we all win, and when we lose, I lose.Collection: Team
With all the stones being thrown against me you could build a monument!Collection: Stones
It’s not important how we play. If you have a Ferrari and I have a small car, to beat you in a race I have to break your wheel or put sugar in your tank.Collection: Race
Football is a game based on emotion and intelligence. Anyone can be clever, the trick is not to think the other guy is stupid.Collection: Soccer
I would rather play with 10 men than wait for a player who is late for the bus.Collection: Player
We want to follow a dream, yes it's true, but it's one thing to follow a dream and another to follow an obsession...A dream is more pure than obsession. A dream is about pride.Collection: Dream
The best way to stop Messi is when you play with 11 men and then you can double mark him, one player to stay on him and the other to help out. If it is 11 against 10 then you have almost no chance of stopping him.Collection: Player
One day he (Einstein) said that the only mechanical force more powerful than steam, electricity and atomic energy is will. That Albert guy was not stupid. With will you can achieve things.Collection: Powerful
Look, I'm a coach, I'm not Harry Potter. He is magical, but in reality there is no magic. Magic is fiction and football is real.Collection: Football
But the most important part of everything is to be happy.Collection: Important
Like me or not, I am the only one who has won the world's three most important leagues. So, maybe instead of the 'Special One', people should start calling me the 'Only One'.Collection: People
Pressure? What pressure? Pressure is poor people in the world trying to feed their families. There is no pressure in footballCollection: Football
We all want to play great music all the time, but if that is not possible, you have to hit as many right notes as you can.Collection: Soccer
I must try to hide my emotions. I have to live with both the victory and the defeat.Collection: Victory
If Messi is the best in the world, it's only because Cristiano is from another planet.Collection: Messi
To be the ultimate team, you must use your body and your mind. Draw up on the resources of your teammates. Choose your steps wisely and you will win. Remember, only teams succeed.Collection: Motivational
I am prepared. The more pressure there is, the stronger I am. In Portugal, we say the bigger the ship, the stronger the storm. Fortunately for me, I have always been in big ships. FC Porto was a very big ship in Portugal, Chelsea was also a big ship in England and Inter was a great ship in Italy. Now I'm at Real Madrid, which is considered the biggest ship on the planet.Collection: Real
There is no pressure at the top. The pressure is being second or third.Collection: Pressure
For Chelsea, I would turn down every job in the world.Collection: Jobs
Yes, Manchester United are the best team in England, but you have to ask how good has the Premier League been since I left? If I was at a top club in England I think the title race might have been a lot closer this year.Collection: Team
Four wins in four matches. It could not be better... the world is fantastic.Collection: Soccer
A player who dives and wins a penalty in Portugal, or Spain or Italy is considered clever, experienced, cunning, someone who understands the game. In England a player who wins a penalty like that is a cheat.Collection: Soccer
I think boring is a team that plays at home and can not score a goal.Collection: Football
My family love living in London. It is a fantastic city and a city such as this deserves to host the Olympic Games.Collection: Family
Do you have a brother or cousin in Ivory Coast, because I don't have the money to bring you to Porto.Collection: Soccer
You are pushed to behave differently here, you don't really have a choice. If you cheat you have no chance of being admired. Even your own supporters will dislike you. So what do you do? Well, the way is not to be stupid, but not to cheat either. If there is a foul, you have to fall. I call it 'helping the referee to make a decision'. That's not cheating.Collection: Soccer
The club is much more important than me, the fans are much more important than me so it's not for me. I'm not working for me, I'm working for the club, for the fans. That's the way I look at things.Collection: Important
People don't know about football. They think they know about it but they don't know much.Collection: Soccer
When I go to the press conference before the game, in my mind the game has already started...Collection: Motivational
No club moves me from Chelsea until Chelsea wants me to move because I want to be where I am loved.Collection: Moving
If Messi is the best on the planet, Ronaldo is the best in the universe.Collection: Cristiano Ronaldo
It is like having a blanket that is too small for the bed, you pull the blanket up to keep your chest warm, and your feet stick out. I cannot buy a bigger blanket because the supermarket is closed. But the blanket I have is made of cashmere. So it's good.Collection: Soccer
The title race is between two horses and a little horse that needs milk and needs to learn how to jump.Collection: Football
Everybody was waiting for Chelsea not to win every game and one day when we lose there will be a holiday in the country. But we are ready for that.Collection: Soccer
The problem with Chelsea is I lack a striker. I have Samuel Eto'o but he is 32 years old - maybe 35, who knows?Collection: Football
Ronaldinho is better than Cristiano Ronaldo, but neither are as good as Leo Messi. He holds numerous records, such as the most goals scored in a single La Liga season and the most goals scored in a calendar year. I'm more worried about being a good person than being the best football player in the world. He has everything. We must protect him.Collection: Football
I won't say we have to win. I won't put that pressure. But we can't lose.Collection: Football
