“Fondue sets, martini shakers and juicing machines: three things the world could live completely without.”

“For me, the training has to be a mixture of hard work - it has to have a good structure, a good base - but also, I don't want all my players to be like machines.”

“What I'd really like to control is not machines, but people.”
