The way I judge myself is not on how many World Cups I can win in a row.
General managers - I like to talk about the 'golden gut': general managers that not only can have a sense for the players that are going to perform beyond what people expect and get team chemistry right, but they also have to be able to make trades.
Liverpool has always had speculation about managers, players, players coming, players going and it's the same as managers. That's part of being part of a big club, you always have that type of thing.
Critics are entitled to have an opinion, but how can they judge how comfortable a building is? No critic is smart enough to judge how a building will perform over time.
All the managers in the world, it doesn't matter how good you are, if your players don't understand what you are looking for or what you want, it makes no sense.
I think 90 per cent of players are still pursuing dreams of league titles and cups, but there is also a huge percentage of very good players who are strictly money motivated.
World Cups aren't moments to invest in players.
You have to have something about you to perform in Scotland. I'm sure these foreign players are excellent but we don't know how they're going to perform.
You need to be very critical of yourself. There are a few very good managers who can make players better individually. Most managers think about the team process - and so you have to improve things on your own.
I see differences in how I like to work with young players and how I like to give young players a chance maybe more than English managers.
I think it's really important for managers to be liked by his players because ultimately, on the pitch, those players will give everything for their manager.
There are pitfalls in World Cups, there are players who can win penalties and players who get the slightest touch and go down holding their face or whatever and get someone sent off. There are all these little things and you're hoping that you're not on the wrong end of it.
I think sometimes managers like to buy players because they're more experienced from abroad or when they've got players under their nose that will give everything to the club they've been brought up with.
Growing up, you watch players like Ronaldinho playing in World Cups, doing the business, and you idolise these people.
Obviously, I wasn't born when Pele was playing at World Cups, but I have watched plenty of videos, both of him and other great players.
I don't judge people by their accent, or how they word things, or how grammatically correct their speech is. Some of the smartest men in the world couldn't spell. I judge a person by their character.
