16:42: “You learn with time, that criticism from the outside is not important. Everybody goes through the phase, that it fucking hurts you, that you’re bleeding from the inside because of a comment. And you know that 90% is not true, but it still goes through your heart. Every player or coach goes through that period of time. In my opinion, what defines, if you become a top coach or a top player is, how you get out of this period of time. […] I’m a big fan of John Wooden. He said: ‘You have to be more concerned about your character than about your reputation, because your reputation is what others think about you. Your character is who you really are.’ I always try to be myself. That’s why I’m open. I’m not changing for none. If people say I’m to open, I’m to open. It brought me winning the fucking Premier League, the Champions League, the League Cup, the FA Cup, the Super Cup and the Club World Cup. It made me champion with Porto five times, it made me champion with PSV four times. I don’t give a damn, what others think, in the end. I try to focus on whom I really am.”
Ich mag den Mann.
