I hate to speak about individuals. Players don't win you trophies, teams win trophies, squads win trophies.
From Jose Mourinho
There has been evolution in many different areas - the way I read the game; the way I prepare the game; the way I train; the methodology... I feel better and better. But there is one point where I cannot change: when I face the media, I am never a hypocrite.
The world is so competitive, aggressive, consumive, selfish and during the time we spend here we must be all but that.
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.
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.
The way I use to develop an aerobic condition is three against three, man to man, in a square 20 metres by 20.
The only thing that we cannot control is our supporters.
I give a lot of instruction in training. It's difficult for me to do the same in matches, so I need guys on the pitch to read the game, to understand what we want.
Please don't call me arrogant, but I'm European champion and I think I'm a special one.
I prefer to play against the best players and the best teams and the best coaches. Never personal.
