"But they [local media] still kill me. Give me a little bit of credit. Don't try to do to me to what was done to Giovanni van Bronckhorst [at Besiktas]. I don't know any coach that in three, four, five months can make miracles, can change things. For me he [Van Bronckhorst] was doing a great job."
"The results lately were not the best but you have this culture and this is a culture that goes against stability. Clubs and players to evolve, they need stability also in their coaches, in their coaches' philosophy. So give me a bit of a break, let me work in peace but if it's not in peace, there is no problem, I still enjoy it."
"That calendar is for every team that is in Europe. It's when you have to use the squad. If you play always with the same players they will be burn out. You have to trust the squad. You have to give an opportunity for fresh people to play. I have a wonderful bench, full of options. With benches like this, a coach is a happy coach; and a coach doesn't have any fear of accumulation of matches in the calendar."
