I'm never afraid during a game, and I have no negative thoughts. I think about what I have to do. Which players can be substituted? And where I can manage to squeeze in a slight advantage? I remain very calm, which is why I never engage in any sideline antics.
I'd say that individuals are respected who stick to their convictions instead of doing whatever happens to be in fashion.
As a player and a coach, I've had plenty of great moments, but I've also experienced disappointments. The disappointments are not about self-doubt, but rather about change. I've always seen failures as a personal challenge. I say to myself: Now I have to find out if I have the right stuff.
Thomas Muller is not the best in the world. But he is the best in what he does
Throughout my entire career as a coach, I've never had a boss. Presidents have been able to hire and fire me. But that didn't make them my bosses, not even at Real Madrid. I have such a strong sense of responsibility that I exercise my profession like an entrepreneur.
I owe everything to this football. But I'm proud of what I've made of the opportunity to become a trainer.
I always fielded the team that I felt had the greatest chances of success.
The older you've gotten, the more respect and admiration you've received.
