For me, whether we win or lose, every match is giving me a lot of information about how to improve.
The best success, for me, is not one trophy. It's not harmony. It's when players improve and grow.
We need to push. We need to have ambition. We need to have desire to improve every day.
Implication is a cumulative process that generates union in the team and mutual respect. Either we all work, or let's just burst the ball.
Every coach wants to win, but it's not easy to do that.
I need to continue reading books, and I like to learn about different people in the world, different people with success in and outside of football.
I like to make a tour round the pitch before games to look at the architecture, the colours in the stadium, the sky, to feel the atmosphere growing.
When I was a player, all the pressures I felt created a lot of anxiety in me. I didn't know how to manage that on my own. I think I was missing someone - a manager, no doubt - who could teach me to control my emotions.
Wherever I've been, I've tried to soak up the essence of the club, the town, and to transmit that to the players.
I'm not the kind of coach who says, 'Let's do a few piggy-in-the-middle exercises and go home for lunch.'
Fans want their emotions to come to the surface. How? By their team transmitting intensity, attacking, scoring goals, competing, winning. That awakens them.
If you play every time, long balls, you lose possession and you lose momentum. I don't want to be like that.
I was a second-division B player, and I've had to work very hard. I tell the players, 'The moment we stop working hard on this, as soon as we stop dedicating hours to this, we'll fall.'
When we are thinking in an attacking moment, I want the goalkeeper thinking, for that, he is the first. The same when we are thinking defensively - I want our strikers to be thinking, 'We need to protect the goalkeepers.' I want those two moments to feel the same for all players.
Being manager means living in the middle of the media attention, through praise and critics. This is something I live with. It's intense and very demanding.
There's a decision each match. I decide how we are going to play, and it depends on the opposition 30 per cent, their structure, and 70 per cent is for us.
I was the coach in Valencia, and this was when Pochettino was finishing his playing career. And we met in Valencia watching the Chile training sessions. And a few months later, he took over as coach of Espanyol.
Each player has this quality, this characteristic to help the team as a collective. For me, that is very important.
I want every player to stay with the mentality and preparation to play together to win.
I know how you can feel when you are playing under pressure.
