I’ve always said that you can live without water for many days, but you can’t live for a second without hope.
I must have just dreamed that about Liverpool playing 3-4-3. What do people think that was, a bit of luck? A British coach playing 3-4-3? A foreign coach doing that would be a tactical genius. I imagine people think I fell into that system through a stroke of luck or something... it took some thought. I didn't just throw them out there.
I have a senior staff meeting every day, with key personnel who interface with the players - coaches, the medical staff, our analyst department. This is a useful exercise as it means we are all across what is happening and they are aware of my expectations.
I dictate entirely how the team is prepared, and I am a hands-on coach; I love to be out there with the players taking the sessions.
I don't see coach job stressful, I really don't. Of course, there is pressure and expectation, but I wouldn't necessarily equate that with stress.
I think my history as a coach shows I like players who are gifted technically and have courage when it comes to being in possession of a football. That is a key quality for me.
