"Some players have been champions twice – [Sergio] Aguero, [Vincent] Kompany, a lot of them. And in the second season, Pep made good decisions, but big decisions were taken.
"He did not want [Pablo] Zabaleta and [Bacary] Sagna, two right back, he did not want [Aleksandar] Kolarov, he did not want [Gael] Clichy During the same summer, he sold four backs, he had four.
"He had [Kyle] Walker, Danilo, [Benjamin] Mendy and I do not remember, [Oleksandr] Zinchenko or [Fabian] Delph or something. He was born. You see Liverpool [playing on Saturday]and I wondered how many of these players were in Liverpool before Jurgen's arrival?

"When I said, to play with John Terry, I wanted Ricardo Carvalho, a lot of people [said] & # 39; who is Ricardo Carvalho? & # 39 ;. Ricardo Carvalho – we follow, we went straight to the target.
"We need an attacker, there were a lot of attackers in Europe – come to Chelsea, do not come to Chelsea – [Didier] Drogba from Marseille, African, nobody knows Drogba. We went directly to the target. Previously, Peter Kenyon, the structure worked really well – Petr Cech, Arjen Robben, Claude Makelele. We made a fantastic team.
"In two years we have killed the Premier League so easily, I remember Sir Alex [Ferguson] saying that we were putting the level so high, so high, that it felt like he wanted to win the Premier League again, they [United] had to go higher and higher. So we created a big noise in the Premier League and it was a fantastic time. "
