We need the whole squad, every player of the team, if we are to be successful.

In football, the worst things are excuses. Excuses mean you cannot grow or move forward.

The most difficult thing in football is to score a goal.

I am grateful to be here, and I will always be grateful for the opportunity Manchester City gave me.

Creating something new is the difficult part. To make it and build it and get everyone to follow? Amazing.

People talk about tactics, but when you look at it, tactics are just players. You change things so that the team can get the most out of the skills they have to offer, but you don't go any further than that.

I try to be positive. I speak to my players about how we have to play, respect the rules. What I have done is always be positive.

I don't like it when a player says, 'I like freedom; I want to play for myself.' Because the player has to understand he is part of a team with 10 other players. If everyone wants to be a jazz musician, it will be chaos. They will not be a team, and nothing will be possible.

The fundamentals, what I want, which is to take the ball, try to play as offensive as possible and dominate the game through the ball, is the same. I grew up with that; I was a player with that idea, and I am a coach with that idea.

I am here just to learn, to improve, to help my team improve.

You know what happens in all the big companies and business in the world. If something doesn't work, you have to find a solution.

Tactics are so important because everybody has to know what they have to do on the pitch. The relationships and behaviours off the pitch between team-mates have to be as good as possible.

I want the ball for 90 minutes. When I don't have the ball, I go high pressing because I want the ball.

As time goes by, people get to know you better. They pose problems for you, and you have to come up with solutions.

Maybe Klopp is the best manager in the world at creating teams who attack the back four with so many players, from almost anywhere on the pitch. They have an intensity with the ball and without the ball, and it is not easy to do that.

People always think the coach is the strongest person at a club, the boss, but in truth, he's the weakest link. We're there, vulnerable, undermined by those who don't play, by the media, by the fans. They all have the same objective: to undermine the manager.

This was how Johan Cruyff worked. He was demanding a lot, but when you got there, and you were in his team, he was an incredible protector. He would push and push you, and then he would protect you. He was a master at handling players. He knew when you needed to be pushed or protected.

There are footballers who are very good playing on the outside but don't know what to do inside. Then there are players who are very good inside but don't have the physique, the legs, to go outside.

The result is an empty thing. The result is I'm happy for the next two days because I get less criticism and more time to improve my team. But what satisfies me the most in my job is to feel emotions, the way we play.

I want to win. I want to play serious. I want to be effective.

I enjoy every day in Manchester. I am confident we can make a step forward to make people proud of us.

I'm sorry, but until my last day as a coach, I will try to play from my goalkeeper.

When you're out on the touchline, like a winger, it is easier to play. You see everything: the mess, the crowd, the activity is all inside. When you play inside, you don't see anything in there because so much is happening in such a small space and all around you.

People say, 'Pep won in Barca, but it was boring,' or, 'Pep won in Bayern, but it was boring.' I understand that. But games won, goals scored, goals conceded, titles... sorry, guys, it was good!

From my point of view, I always want to fight until the end of my last chance.

People say you must be pragmatic, more clinical. More pragmatic than me? I'm sorry.

For the last decade, the last 50 years, Barcelona dominate football matches. I love the way they play.

I am here to change anything. I'm here to adapt. The critieria between a yellow and red card. What is a foul and what is not.

It is one of the best clubs in the world by far. I'm loving Manchester City.

Let us fight until the end. Let me try at least that - fight.

The people say I have to change? Well, the people have to tell me what I should do to change.

All the managers in the world, it doesn't matter how good you are, if your players don't understand what you are looking for or what you want, it makes no sense.

We all feel that hunger in football. With Cruyff, it was different. He deepened and changed the hunger so you became conscious of why you are getting better.

I will not be on the bench until I am 60 or 65 years old.

The fans can accept a poor performance, but they won't take it when you choose not to put in the effort.

I won 21 titles in seven years: three titles per year playing in this way. I'm sorry, guys. I'm not going to change.

When you train a massive club or little third division outfit, when you go out to play football in any situation, it is always about winning.

The players are coming to try every game, every weekend, so that the Manchester City people can be proud, and we will see what is our level to achieve our battles.

We cannot change absolutely everything in one season.

We try to play football; don't forget it, right. My teams always in my career try to play football. I cannot control the other circumstances.

I need time, but as soon as possible, we are going to try to create team spirit. That is the most important thing. After that, you can create tactics, but we have to create something special with ourselves.

If you want to win, you have to beat the big teams in Europe, and Juventus are awesome.

We have to cut out some of our mistakes, but the main thing in English football is controlling the second ball. Without that, you cannot survive.

For my experience, my family. I will always be grateful for the people who brought me here.

Sometimes I was wrong about my players. Sometimes I want more and more from them; sometimes I am so demanding, but they showed me how good they are.

You hear all these people saying, 'Oh, Pep, what a good manager he is.' Forget about it. Cruyff was the best, by far.

Barcelona are special in the way they play. They're a machine.

When Klopp speaks about his football being heavy metal, I understand completely. It is so aggressive. For the fans, it is really good.

The Premier League is so difficult.

It's natural for players to be relaxed, so you have to be there to say, 'You have to do it again and again and again.'
