In Small Space A Player Has To

If My Forward Arrives In A One Vs One Situation, I Always Say: 'let Him Work It Out.' Then My Players Say: But We Can Help Him!'. My Reply Is: First, There's A Good Chance You'll Only Run In His Way, And As A Second Attacker You're Drawing A Second Defender With You, And Two Vs Two Is Harder Than One Vs One.'

Football Is Simple But The Hardest Thing To Do Is Play Simple Football.

A Counter-attack Can Only Arise When You Make A Mistake. That's Why There Are Rules. A Horizontal Pass? Prohibited. In My Line-up There Are As Many Lines As Possible. Because You Must Have The Option To Pass The Ball Forward, Even If It's A Meter. Because Then I Can Still Make Up For The Loss Of Possession. After A Horizontal Pass This Is Impossible.

Football Is About Making Mistakes. Who Makes The Most, Loses The Game.

I'm Not Religious. In Spain All 22 Players Make The Sign Of The Cross Before They Enter The Pitch. If It Works All Matches Must Therefore End In A Draw.
