Forget the Premiership, we'll win in Europe instead....

"The minimum criteria for us is to qualify in the group stage every year, but it is not the minimal that I judge good enough - I want to do much better. I would be unfulfilled if I don't do it, but I will do it. I am convinced I will do it.

"Is it this year? Next year? In two years? We will do it at some stage because things will just go for you.

"You can be a normal team and win the European Cup, but you cannot be a normal team and win the Premiership. The Champions League is less predictable. It is more of real cup formula.

"What you see in the first group stage is there is no surprise, after there is surprise at every round, because over just one or two games, the teams are more levelled, and the form of the day makes a difference.

"It means a lot to me and I am very proud of winning the FA Cup four times because not many managers can say that in English football, but now having won it four times, if I come into a situation where I have to chose between the FA Cup and the Champions League, of course I would give a priority to the Champions League."
