I had a really fantastic team.
Balak in the middle, Lesienne, Deco.
And so, at the back, Alex Ivanovic.
So, actually, Cole.
The team was really, really a fantastic team.
And when I arrived, the team was there.
I didn't build the team.
The team was already there.
And so I was really excited to train this kind of player, this kind of power.
Imagine when you needed to prepare set pieces, you had, I don't know, John Harry, Alex, Drogba, Balak to jump.
So it was not so difficult to score on set pieces.
I think that when you are a manager, you have to try to manage, one day in your life, Real Madrid.
I spent two years there and it was an unforgettable experience.
Because I think that Real Madrid is the best club in the world for, I don't know, the image that they have outside.
Everywhere we went to Real Madrid, in every country, there were a lot of people there to see you.
They wanted to see you, to support the team.
And so it's an unforgettable experience, a club at the top organization, fantastic training ground, and fantastic team at the time when I arrived.
The team had...
some problems in the past years when I arrived there.
