As with last year I have started by bedding down the team and with only one game a week, apart from the internationals, we have kept changes to a minimum.

When I go to the press conference before the game, in my mind the game has already started.

I always say that I need competition, and I need competition every week, and in Spain, I was at an amazing club, but I had four matches a year: Barcelona v Real Madrid, Real Madrid v Barcelona, and after that, we'd win 4-0, 5-0, 4-1, 6-1.

I don't agree with the sending off. We are a clean team.

Every game is as demanding as the last. Nothing can be taken for granted.

Football is a game about feelings and intelligence.
