Chelsea are up there with best teams in the world,and let's hope United can join us in quarter-finals.
I think it's clearly the result of something that looks like a campaign.
Dogs bark and the caravan goes by.
And I think because of the passion of every English player and every English supporter, and every English journalist for the game, most of the game is played with passion, love for football and instinct, but in football you also have to think.
I intend to give my best, to improve things and to create the football team in relation to my image and my football philosophy. I'm not a defender of old or new football managers. I believe in good ones and bad ones, those that achieve success and those that don't. Please don't call me arrogant, but I'm European champion and I think I'm a special one.

It is like when you go to war: we have to know how our enemies attack and defend.
It gave the title to Manchester City - it's as simple as that.
He's a specialist in failure.
The way I use to develop an aerobic condition is three against three, man to man, in a square 20 metres by 20.
I was nine or 10 years old and my father was sacked on Christmas Day. He was a manager, the results had not been good, he lost a game on December 22 or 23. On Christmas Day, the telephone rang and he was sacked in the middle of our lunch.
Drogba is a fighter. He is the kind of player I would say 'With you I could go to every war.'
He is the best. The best in the world, yes. Probably the best ever. I saw Maradona a couple of times. I never saw Pele. But Cristiano is amazing. This man is the best... Cristiano is a goals machine. He is an incredible player. He is like Zidane, there will never be another Ronaldo.
The Porto players were with me for two and a half years, they believed in me, in my methods, in the way we do it. The next day I go and a manager arrives who works completely differently.
Let slip the dogs of champions.
Three years without a Premiership title? I don't think I would still be in a job.
Instead of speaking about Real Madrid, Mr Wenger should speak about Arsenal and explain how he lost 2-0 against a team in the Champions League for the first time [Braga]. The history about the young kids is getting old now. Sagna, Clichy, Walcott, Fabregas, Song, Nasri, Van Persie, Arshavin are not kids. They are all top players.
For Chelsea, I would turn down every job in the world.
Would you phone the president of Ghana?
Eleven against eleven they never beat us.
Facing the press is not easy, but because you have to go, you have to try to take a lot of positive things for yourself from these face-to-face meetings.
At the very least we should be given a bit of credit and a little bit of space, and maybe the media should think we could help them discover why English teams do not win European competitions.
When I was at Porto my team also played in the UEFA Cup final against a Scottish side - but it was Celtic. I've never seen such emotional people. It was unbelievable!
I feel I have a lot to learn from English football and I am completely open to good influences in my way of thinking. But I also have things to give them.
The only way to stop Messi is to double mark him. One player to stay on him and the other to help out.
