Pep Guardiola

People usually think that it is the coach who has to raise the spirits of his players; that it is the coach who has to convince his footballers; that it is his job to take the lead all the time. But that's not always the case.

The result is an empty thing. The result is I'm happy for the next two days because I get less criticism and more time to improve my team. But what satisfies me the most in my job is to feel emotions, the way we play.

You can win ten times, and then you are not able to win five times. I have to discover the reason why, and I am going to find that.

As time goes by, people get to know you better. They pose problems for you, and you have to come up with solutions.

I need time, but as soon as possible, we are going to try to create team spirit. That is the most important thing. After that, you can create tactics, but we have to create something special with ourselves.

I don't think in the big clubs in Europe you can find three strikers with an average age of 20.

Why am I here? Yes, to win titles, because then I will feel happy for the people. But the process is the reason why.

You know what happens in all the big companies and business in the world. If something doesn't work, you have to find a solution.

Maybe one day I will work in Italy. If they want me.

People always think the coach is the strongest person at a club, the boss, but in truth, he's the weakest link. We're there, vulnerable, undermined by those who don't play, by the media, by the fans. They all have the same objective: to undermine the manager.

Barcelona are special in the way they play. They're a machine.
