What matters is the team winning. Even if I only managed to score once or twice all season, if the team won the league title, I'd still be happy.
Being an Arsenal fan, at the end of every season I say the same thing: we've got a good team, a young team, hopefully, we'll be in the running for the league title next season.
Goals don't bother me, even though it is my job. I am as happy when team-mates scores as I am when I score. Winning is what matters.
When you manage a big team like River Plate or Madrid, they are used to winning titles. The people are happy, but they are used to it. When you have an achievement like I had in Villarreal, reaching the semi-final of the Champions League, finishing second in the league, it's more than winning a title. It's more.
I'm in the team to score goals. I try and score as many as I can in the season to help the team out.
I have to remind Arsene about his team, which used to win the league, that was the dirtiest team in the league. If you cast your mind back to when they were winning the league, they had more seedings-off and bookings than anyone else.
The way a top team develops means that once you have won the league title, the natural step is to try to win the Champions League.
Two or three years ago, every game I want to score. And after I score a goal I have a spark and I'm so happy I want more. Now I'mkind of different. I'm not saying I lost my spark - I still have it - but I don't chase the goal as much as I used to. I'm playing for the team andI still know I can score, but it's different than two or three years back.Look at great teams like Detroit a couple of years ago; they winthe Stanley Cup and guys only score 25 goals, nobody has a really big season. You have to play defense, that's how you win.
I managed the Dodgers for 20 years. It's hard to believe that there are only four guys in the history of baseball who managed the same team for 20 years or more. One was owner of the team, Connie Mack. Another was part owner of the team, John McGraw. Then there was my predecessor, Walter Alston, and me. It's amazing. In the 20 years I managed the Dodgers, 210 managers were fired.
No team wanted me. No overseas team. Not even a D-League team.
Of course the Premier League is the most difficult league in the world because it's so even. I think you can't really compare other leagues with the Premier League. In the Premier League, every team can beat every team, and in football, that's something where you can have surprises.
We are the best team of the tournament and deserved the title but luck did not favour us. I think the future of this team is good. If we play more friendly matches and target the SAFF Championship, I think this team can deliver that title.
The only difference between a winning team and a losing team is one game. The winning team can win two out of three games...the losing team can only win one out of three.
I believe a family can be like that sports team. A successful family wins as a team. But if its members are intent upon winning their own individual battles with one another, the team loses. A winning solution is to work out the differences and, when it's over, let it be over. Then they can get back in the game as a team.
You never want to start a season knowing your team doesn't stand a chance to win. The Premier League may be the one example where fans continue to be passionate about their team despite that.
If you can achieve winning a league championship, that, to me, is the full test of the team and management because it is over the full season and you have a lot of problems you have to overcome.
Bottom line is I always want what's best for the team, and as long as the football team is winning games, I'm happy.
