    On other heroes: "Pep [Guardiola] changed the game some years ago. Diego Simeone showed a different way to do it. Graham [Potter] showed you can be very flexible in what you do, with three, four or five systems for every game. Jurgen [Klopp] with gegen-pressing. Ralph Hasenhuttl with a high pressure, all-in mentality. That mix is in my head and I think I have a way to put some of those things together."

    "Our target is to be a unit, to make the game hard for them and - if the chance is there - to win the game. So yes, I think we have a group capable to stay in the Premier League."

    On Chelsea: "I watched them against Borussia Dortmund and, in my opinion, they were the better team.
