“When you’re like this, with this character, becoming a Coach is easier. He has the respect of everyone and that helps on the impact of his new role. He’s a great.
“Personality is enough and putting the players in the right places to make the most of their quality. You earn their respect.”
“They’re all very good, everyone. But what Cristiano Ronaldo has done is impossible,” he explained.

“To have that quality is very difficult, that speed, strength. I know him well. With Roma I played against him six times with Manchester United.
“You have to have a player with the same speed and personality, you can’t be afraid to confront him.”
They’re one of the best teams in the world. No one can doubt that. The game will help us know where we are now, where stand with these teams,” he said.
While Roma midfielder Radja Nainggolan has insisted they try to embarrass Real Madrid in their Champions league clash.
“Stadio Olimpico will help us. We’ll try to embarrass Madrid. It’s a challenge for the players and for the fans and we will do our best.
“Zinedine Zidane is decisive. I admired him as a player. Madrid are a very attacking team and will leave space. Our trick will be to try and use it.
“We’ll try to hurt them. We’re at home and we have to get a good result for the return leg. We’ll try to make a miracle. They’re a great team, but we have to stand up.”
They are different games and different moments. At least we drew with Barca here,” he noted.
“We played Madrid twice last summer. Summer games aren’t worth a lot. They’re both great teams and always reach the semi-final at least and play to win.”
