"Boring I think is 10 years without a title. That's very boring. You support the club and you're waiting, waiting, waiting for so many years without a Premier League title, so that's very boring."
On the modern obsession with possession
"I ask myself if in the future, when I am a granddad and I am at home with my grandsons, and maybe the future of football is a beautiful green grass carpet without goals. And in that beautiful grass pitch the team with more ball possession wins the game. Because everybody says, 'Oh, my team plays fantastically well, we had great ball possession.' Good. 'Oh, we build very well.' Good. It looks like the goals are not there ... Football started a few centuries ago and the objective was one, but now it looks like the objective is another one. For me, I am very simple in my analysis. Football is about putting the ball in the net of your opponent and stopping your opponent."

"At this moment it's difficult to play at home because playing here is like playing in an empty stadium. When we scored was when I realised, 'Woah, the stadium is full. Good.'"
