The limits are set by the referees. Those are the ones who are in charge of making sure this is football and not American football.

Nobody wins the league in December.

I think Luis Suarez, not just with the physical side of his game but his capacity to shoot with one touch in the box, knowing where the goal is is great.

Messi is 'The Matrix' - that image when everything slows down, and he can do what he wants.

I like there to be a good atmosphere in the dressing room, for music to be played before matches. We have to entertain the fans and have a good time ourselves.

Pedro has special qualities. He adds a lot, dribbling, scoring, keeping the pitch wide. He's always ready to compete.

Against a team who are tight inside their area, you look to find combinations, the center with the wings or with shots from outside the box.

I always think we have to be cautious with our attitude to refereeing the professionals and the people in the football family.

To be a Barca goalkeeper, it's not enough to have quality. You have to make decisions and execute them.

I like Southgate as a manager, what he brings. He always wants the ball and adapts to the players.

Conquering titles is not very easy.

Guardiola is the best because he has won so many titles, because of the way he did it, and because he's adapted to another country with a very difficult language, and he's implanted his ideas.

The strikers need the midfielders, defenders, and goalkeepers. My objective is to have everything work in all the aspects.

Players become stronger when they win titles.

Pep's Barcelona was spectacular. They had a collective style based on players of talent, which sought control and sought to dominate all over the pitch.

Once the game is decided, everyone looks to score. It's natural.

It seems Barcelona are expected to win every title, but it is not always like this. People think Barca win automatically, but that's not the case.

I'd like to manage in England at some point. My wife wouldn't like the weather; she's from Barcelona and likes the sun. It would depend on the team and the football they played.

At Mestalla, with their support, it's always tough. I don't remember any easy game.

It's difficult to understand someone leaving Barca, with the best players in the world.

Every coach talks to their players. Imagine not talking to Lionel Messi - that would be ridiculous.

I normally talk to my players about everyday situations, and there are not really any secrets.

If the teams with the best players always won, football would be boring.

A coach's life is that, when you win, it is easy, and when you lose, you're no good; it's all your fault.

I love offensive coaches.

This is a sport for crazy people, a unique sport.

I do what I want.

Nobody wins the league in December. We have to go game by game.

Leo would also be unstoppable if I played him at full-back. Messi is simply the best there is.

Dani Alves is a special player, in my opinion.

Xavi playing 750 games for Barcelona is a lot.

Coaching the national team would be great.

There's no other club where I'll be able to work with better players than at Barca.

Coaching Barca involved dedicating all your energy to the team, the club, and the players. And when you see the end is coming, you have to take it in, accept it, and communicate it. There's nothing else you can do.

The trainer I learned most from about the field of play was Van Gaal, even though he's the one I've had the most confrontations with - well, disagreements. He's got an obsession with work ethic, the way he plans.

You learn something from everyone, even the bad coaches because they tell you something and you think, 'I'll never do that in the future.'

Things don't always work out as you want them to.

Everybody has the clarity of telling I haven't seen a player like Lionel Messi, and I am fortunate for training and seeing him every day at the training field. And even sometimes he surprises you with some good performances. There is not comparison with other players I have seen along my life. He is unique.

I've always heard Leo saying he is happy at Barcelona. I'll take the message that he is very comfortable here.

It's always bad news when a player gets injured - dreadful news.

The captains of the national team are the ones that have played the most matches. That's what I had in the national team. Maximum respect to those players.

When I leave Barca, I'm sure I'll take at least a year off.

Being praised constantly weakens you.

I like to be close to the players and listen to what they've got to say and feel. Then I make decisions from a coach's point of view, thinking about what's best for the team.

I don't talk about what happened after one game or the other. We look at a season as a whole picture.

If Leo is at his level, it's going to be very difficult to find a solution to stop him.

It's always tough playing away from home.

When we have a defensive situation in which we are conceding too many goals, it is not just a problem in the defense but the entire team, starting with the coach.

Messi no longer surprises me.

He has ambition and hunger, but I would not say Messi is the only piece of art at Barca.
