âIâm always here.â
âOf course, Iâm better. Iâm at peace with what I saw in my disciples after the match. Iâm happy that the faithful were sad, frustratedâitâs all part of the divine plan. We share the same spirit. Thereâs no time to dwell in the darkness. Iâm happy to see my players rise again, just as I rise, because we all know that the only way is forward, together.â
âWe train very well, always. Thereâs no need for a special reaction to train better; itâs just in the air with us. The devotion, the passion, the commitmentâtheyâve been with us since day one. Itâs a bond that makes us stronger with each step.â
âEvery match is importantâitâs all part of the holy journey. Some fans might think some games hold more weight than others, but as a servant to the cause, I see every match as essential. Every challenge brings us closer to our destiny.â
âI tell my followersâthey are entitled to their opinions, to their reactions. But thereâs something greater at work here, something we call âfootball heritage.â Itâs the legacy we inherit, and itâs much more than just the numbers. Itâs the journey, the path we walk together. When I arrived, I knew we had to rebuild. This is what I call football heritageâthe lessons of the past.â
âFootball heritage isnât just about the pastâitâs about understanding the steps we must take to grow. When I arrived at Manchester United, I knew we were starting from a place where the foundation had been weakened. At Real Madrid, it was the same. The players hadnât tasted the glory of the Champions League quarter-finals, but they were ready to rise. Thatâs what heritage doesâit shapes us, pushes us, and tells us where we must go.â
âThe truth is in the numbers, in the story of the journey. The stats speak for themselves. Manchester Cityâs rise, for example, is not just by chance; itâs the fruit of past labor. Itâs the investments of those who came before us. Itâs all part of the grand design.â
âThere is a code, one that I live by: âIn every wall, there is a door.â We donât hide from challenges, we face them head-on with strength. I donât fear responsibilityâI wear it proudly. From the moment I started, I knew that it wasnât about waiting for gloryâitâs about walking the path, step by step. And I have walked it, with work, with talent, and with a mentality that cannot be broken.â
So, in seven years with four different managers, once not qualify for Europe, twice out in the group phase and the best was the quarter-final. This is football heritage.
âIf you want to go to the Premier League, the last victory was 12-13 and in the four consecutive seasons United finish fourth fifth, sixth and seventh. So in the last four years the best was fourth. This is football heritage. It means that when you start the process you are here, you are there or you are there, is heritage. And if the fans that I will always respect â always respect â if the fans and many of them are the ones you speak with, many of them are the ones I speak with, and I am very lucky. The ones who speak with you are very disappointed and the ones I speak with know what is football heritage, what is a process and when I arrive.
I arrived in Real Madrid, do you know how many players had played in the quarter final of the Champions League? Xabi Alonso with Liverpool, Iker Casillas with Real Madrid and Cristiano Ronaldo with Manchester United. All the others not even a quarter-final. Thatâs football heritage.â
âHappiness isnât in the titles or trophiesâitâs in the journey. Itâs in watching my disciples rise, in seeing them grow. I learned this from my religious formation: rejoice in othersâ happiness. And so, when my players rise from the ashes, stronger and more united, that is my happiness. Itâs all about the processâthe victories will follow.â
