I don't set targets because sometimes targets are limits and we don't like limits. But I'm not a dreamer, I'm a worker.

I think you have to be honest with yourself. You have to accept your situation and do the best that you can.

I am convinced that the better you know your mate off the pitch, the more you are able to work for him on it in uncomfortable situations.

I like speed, I like passion, I like this style of football. Bayern Munich, for example, are very successful and play another style. I respect their style and it is another idea about football that is very successful but, if I had to choose what style I like most of all, it is the style we play.

The biggest problem for me is that if you are in the race you can't develop yourself to try and educate yourself and this is what I loved in my break from football.

If you deliver professionals something that makes them feel stronger, then they will follow.

Everyone can see that we went for young, talented players under the age of 24 or free transfers where we didn't have to pay a fee for them.

This is why I don't usually have to create uncomfortable situations, because we are anything but a typical Premier League club. We got promoted with an £11 million budget.

The character of the English players is very good. It is a working character. If they are on the pitch they like to work.

You can never stop your brain from thinking about what could happen tomorrow or next week or the next hour. It is not possible to close your brain to this in football.
