I always remember being competitive. From the beginning, with my brothers, with my friends, playing at school, everything - in everything I was involved in.

I love it when the people celebrate when they beat you.

Obviously, if you win a trophy, like I won when I was a player, it's a moment to celebrate. For me - this is my mentality, and I don't want to say it's right or wrong - I love to celebrate in private and not make it public. I love to celebrate the things with your team-mates.

Always, you miss all the players when they are injured.

To win games, we need to be focused for 95 minutes. If not, you always pay in football.

For me, Jose Mourinho is one of the best managers in the world. I don't think he needs to show anyone that he is one of the best.

It's important to have the opportunity to learn.

My only focus is to try to assess and to provide the players with better tools to perform.

I take every season as it being different.

I think the most important thing is to keep going and fighting to be in a good position. Like many clubs say, to be in the top four is a massive success.

The most important thing is how you are made to feel in your home.

I feel happy here in Tottenham because I feel the recognition for our job.

Every single club is special and is different.

I would put Harry Kane in with Batistuta. All that is happening to him, he deserves. He is the protagonist of his life, and he deserves all the prize.

He is a killer, Harry Kane.

The most important club in the world is Tottenham. And it is the best club in the world. I need to feel like this, and that emotion is real because I cannot be fake. It's too difficult to create the trust if you don't really believe, and it's not real, that emotion.

When you are better than your opposition for 45 minutes and create six chances, if you don't score, you are in danger in the Premier League. It's the best league in the world.

We are always trying to improve our squad because football is dynamic.

If we don't need the players who are available to sign, then why are we going to sign?

When you talk about Beckham, he's a massive world icon.

The chairman is the man who manages everything and, in the end, takes all the decisions. Always, for the fans, it's important to hear him.

It is difficult to give time to develop projects in football. You buy the club, and you want the title after three months.

Being a captain means a lot - it's not just about wearing the armband.

All players need to feel confidence from the staff, the players, the supporters. All need to be consistent in training and games to give their best.
