Roberto Martinez

I've never seen a team that is expected to win the league, that loses the two centre-halves.

And they're covering winning games.

It's like the way they play, they become better and better.

Of course, they are involved in the Champions League, they're involved in domestic cups.

And they're going to have to cope with injuries and suspensions.

But this team, they bring in something that is very special.

It's a way of playing.

Every player knows exactly what they're doing.

Every player just enjoys doing something for their team.

And then the outcome is very difficult to play against Manchester City.

Even yesterday, I thought Aston Villa...

had a fantastic first half and I think defensively they were really comfortable.

It takes one second, you switch off and it's a long ball from the keeper and you won't nail down.

They got that element of almost that arrogant mentality that it takes very little to be successful.

Well, I don't know, because I haven't worked with Pep or Johan.

One thing is the philosophy.

I think Johan Cruyff brought that philosophy in football.

I think he's the single person that affected football more than anyone else.

I think there is a lot of people, iconic people in football, as you will have yours and Alex yours, that you get inspired by.

Johan affected everyone in football, the ones that wanted to follow him and the ones that had to defend his style.
