I am such a bloody talented guy. I might go into painting or something like that.

I realized I was good at developing young people. Eventually I started to believe in young people. I think when you give a young person an opportunity, he always believes who gave him his first chance. You create a loyalty that lasts a lifetime.

Kindness is a universal language regardless of age, nationality or religion.

I used to have a saying that when a player is at his peak, he feels as though he can climb.

I'm going to tell you the story about the geese which fly 5,000 miles from Canada to France. They fly in V-formation but the second ones don't fly. They're the subs for the first ones. And then the second ones take over - so it's teamwork.

Lampard, for me, was a marvellous servant for Chelsea, but I didn't think of him as an elite international footballer. And I am one of the few who felt Gerrard was not a top, top player.

I think Paul Scholes is the best player in England. He's got the best skills, the best brain. No one can match him. There isn't a player of his mould anywhere in the world. Paul is irreplaceable.

It was the most emphatic display of selflessness I have seen on a football field. Pounding over every blade of grass, competing as if he would rather die of exhaustion than lose, he inspired all around him.

I do like to try and see myself in football players. Everybody is different and express themselves in different ways. There are different kinds of talents of course and there are many who I would never have had the talent that they have when I was a player. But I still had that determination to be successful and try my best.

I'm privileged to have followed Sir Matt because all you have to do is to try and maintain the standards that he set so many years ago.

I think Rafael Benítez was an angry man. He must have been disturbed for some reason. I think you have got to cut through the venom of it and hopefully he'll reflect and understand what he said was absolutely ridiculous.

If Chelsea drop points, the cat's out in the open. And you know what cats are like - sometimes they don't come home.

Jose [Mourinho] was one of those guys on a surfboard who can stay longer on the wave than anyone else.

If you were in a game of football always think you need maybe eight to win the game. Three can on an off day or semi off day but you always hard. And the players recognize that and they'll do that extra to make sure they get winning. The essence of the team is to understand and trust each other and to trust me.

He's fiery, he's competitive, ... I think it was an unfair booking, and Wayne reacts like this against injustice.

In England, it's a rare thing to see a player smoking but, all in all, I prefer that to an alcoholic. The relationship with alcohol is a real problem in English football and, in the short term, it's much more harmful to a sportsman. It weakens the body, which becomes more susceptible to injury.

I've got a temper if I need it. Nothing wrong with losing your temper, if it's for the right reasons.

Jose understands winning and losing are twins in a way. When you win you don't gloat and when you lose you don't go bananas.
