"Well, obviously there is someone that I look up to and learn from him in many situations and what is for me outstanding is his passion,"
"I think for how long he's been in the game and in the same club with the same players, how you still have that hand and that capacity to transmit such an energy and willingness to win..."
"It's a very tough environment that we live in and to keep convincing players you have to be extraordinary as well."
"If he works in the Champions League, which is the highest competition in Europe, he can do it anywhere."
