Personal quotes
-
[on the difference between himself and Arsène Wenger] He likes having the ball, playing football, passes. It's like an orchestra. But it's a silent song. But I like heavy metal more. I always want it loud.

If you lose a game, everyone asks why this player didn't play. If we win, nobody asks.
-
[on Mats Hummels' continuous injury problems] We will wait for him like a good wife waiting for her husband who is in jail.
-
[New signing Henrikh] Mkhitaryan fits us like an arse on a bucket. What he offers is exactly what we need.
