“Please don’t call me arrogant, but I’m European champion and I think I’m a special one.”

„Felul în care jucăm e foarte important. Dar e ca şi cu omletele şi ouăle. N-ai ouă, n-ai omletă! Depinde de calitatea ouălor. În supermarket ai ouă de clasa întâi, a doua şi a treia şi unele sunt mai scumpe decât celelalte pentru că îţi iese o omletă mai bună. Iar când ştii că la Waitrose au ouă de calitatea întâi şi tu nu poţi să ajungi acolo, ai o problemă.”

“We have top players and, sorry if I’m arrogant, we have a top manager.”
