At Mestalla, with their support, it's always tough. I don't remember any easy game.
— Luis Enrique
I don't talk about what happened after one game or the other. We look at a season as a whole picture.
Being praised constantly weakens you.
It's always bad news when a player gets injured - dreadful news.
Things don't always work out as you want them to.
I like teams which repeat their style, clubs that are synonymous with one style.
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.
Coaching the national team would be great.
Dani Alves is a special player, in my opinion.
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.
When you're leading 4-1, the opponent has nothing to lose.
This is a sport for crazy people, a unique sport.
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 like adversity; that's how I am.
It's always tough playing away from home.
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.
When I leave Barca, I'm sure I'll take at least a year off.
I've always heard Leo saying he is happy at Barcelona. I'll take the message that he is very comfortable here.
Conquering titles is not very easy.
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.
It's difficult to understand someone leaving Barca, with the best players in the world.
I like Southgate as a manager, what he brings. He always wants the ball and adapts to the players.
Leo would also be unstoppable if I played him at full-back. Messi is simply the best there is.
Nobody wins the league in December. We have to go game by game.
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 love coaches that think more about attacking than defending. As a football fan, I think that's wonderful.
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.
I normally talk to my players about everyday situations, and there are not really any secrets.
If Leo is at his level, it's going to be very difficult to find a solution to stop him.
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.
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.
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.
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.'
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.
There's no other club where I'll be able to work with better players than at Barca.
Xavi playing 750 games for Barcelona is a lot.
Messi will be great regardless of the position where he plays.
Once the game is decided, everyone looks to score. It's natural.
I do what I want.
I love offensive coaches.
If the teams with the best players always won, football would be boring.
Every coach talks to their players. Imagine not talking to Lionel Messi - that would be ridiculous.
