Gary Lineker

What about the overall view on Arbeloa and his chances possibly of getting the job on a permanent basis at the end of the season?

I do.

I don't think you can say things have improved.

Well, I think Jürgen would fit any club, to be honest, because he's obviously exceptional.

The question remains, and he hasn't completely ruled it out, has he, that he'll return to management and coaching, I should say.

He's also intimated that, you know, do I really want to go back and stand on the side of training grounds?

I think this was when he was linked with an English job because they said when it's pissing down with rain, etc.,

Well, that's it.

It doesn't need to go back, but you know what it's like.

It does seem to be a bit of a drug almost.

And when you're that good at it, I totally get it.

Funny enough, I saw Pep Guardiola interviewed and they were saying, how do the pressures compare of managing a club in England to managing one of the giants in Spain, Barcelona or Real Madrid?

And he said, it is a thousand times more difficult in Spain and Madrid.

I don't think people realise that here.

We have a media that are more interested in your private life and knocking you down that way.

But over there, super...

particularly with Real Madrid and Barcelona.

And just to remind people, there are two or three daily newspapers that just focus on either Real Madrid or Barcelona.

You've got Esport and Mundo Deportivo in Barcelona.

Then you've got Marca.
