Life is like this: things come and go.

I've always said that to win the Champions League, you need to reach a certain stage in good form and with good fitness levels.

Evra, besides being a great professional, is a great person.

It's no simple task getting the very best from each and every member of the squad.

Not every cloud has a silver lining.

Work is important, but you also need to disconnect, to unplug at times, in order to be even more concentrated when you do work.

Narcissism in moderate amounts is not harmful to health.

Given the choice between Higuain and Kane, I would still pick Pipita as my number nine, even if Kane is a top-class striker.

If we want football to be a sport that is no longer a sport, then use VAR on every incident. However, if we get to March, where every point becomes decisive, then games can last three or four hours.

Having a lot of attacking players on the field and a good balance at the back is the foundation of victory.

You can try to challenge everything... but not age!

Messi is a good stimulus for Cristiano.

There are matches you have to win, but when you realise that you cannot win, you have to make sure you don't lose.

If you won every game, which is impossible, then life would be flat and dull.

The lower you go down the levels, the more players think they need to hang on to the ball to prove how talented they are, but that's not football.

Football is not an exact science, but it is about chemistry: Ronaldo and Mandzukic, when they are together, have an excellent understanding.

You cannot win every game.

I've learned that football is a stupid sport for intelligent people because the simplest things are truly also the most difficult to get right.

I am always pleased to talk about Buffon. He is an extraordinary player, a professional with values.

Juventus have a winning DNA.

Tevez is an extraordinary striker. Not only does he score goals, but he also helps his teammates and the midfield, too.

At the end of the day, in football, you need more than technique to win. You need other values that can push you on during difficult times.

We can't always assume that we'll score two or three goals.

The derby d'Italia is a very difficult match, five out of five on the scale.

I train with joy and fun, because if I'm not persuaded by the squad at my disposal, I try changing things around, moving players into new positions, and trying something different; otherwise, I get bored.

Every year, Juventus manage to build up a very competitive group of players with the aim of keep winning.

Woe, to think about having success in your pocket.

In life, things do not always stay the same. There are certain alchemies that marry together at particular moments in particular places with particular people.

One doesn't win by chance. One doesn't lead a business to make a €1 billion or €500 million if he is a moron.

I always say that there are manufactured coaches and natural coaches. I am one of the natural ones. I do not have to sit there and watch videos for hours. I look at what I have to watch, and in a quarter of an hour, I understand what I can understand.

We need to start from a presupposition: namely, that there is no 'better' football and no 'worse' kind of football, just different styles and cultures that belong to each country.

I'd like to have a 15 million euro villa, but if I can't afford it, I have to look for an apartment that I like.

I have felt like a 'juventino' since I set foot here. Here, you have 12 million supporters; everyone else has their team and then roots against us.

I always said that VAR is a very important tool on objective and important decisions.

The Ballon d'Or nomination is a good achievement for Pogba.

I had an average career, but I was quite skilful.

Nobody should imagine that they could go to England and change the way that football is played there. Just as nobody should imagine that they could come to Italy and change the culture or the DNA of Italian football. Or even the DNA of the club where they work.

The difference in economic potential between clubs in Italy, those in England, or the big two in Spain is very high.

If the opponents are really clammed up, you need to pass around them. If they leave gaps, you pass between the lines.

Different players have different characteristics.

Everyone needs the right partner. Mario Mandzukic is very helpful for Dybala and for Ronaldo.

You can play Dybala and Ronaldo; it just depends on the situations.

We should all learn from Ronaldo, and I, too, have learned, because it's not everyone who gets to work with the best player in the world.

I had Ibra at Milan, who every day would get angry about a misplaced pass, and I told him that if everyone was as talented as him, there would be no problems.

All Champions League games are difficult.

Niang is very good in front of the goal, and he's also a quick learner. He is a versatile striker who can play both as a centre forward and as a second striker.

Dybala's game is easier on the eye, but Pogba is extraordinary because he has physicality and technique.

Padoin is proving himself to be a great professional. He's tactically intelligent, and it's tough to play in front of the defense.

Unfortunately, in football, sometimes you think that things might go one way, but eventually, they take an unexpected turn or head in another direction.

When you are in a big team, there's time when you can stay out.
