I hate to speak about individuals. Players don't win you trophies, teams win trophies, squads win trophies. Jose Mourinho
And I think because of the passion of every English player and every English supporter, and every English journalist for the game, most of the game is played with passion, love for football and instinct, but in football you also have to think. Jose Mourinho
