“I think one of my characteristics as a manager is to adapt to what I have in hand. I’m sure, even losing, Man United fans will remember some of my teams that played and won here - Chelsea 2004, 2005, 2006, Real Madrid when we came here in the Champions League, so I feel that one of my strengths is to adapt to the players I have.
“I don’t defend that a manger should have a style of play. A manger should be open, to adapt, and to create a style adapted to the reality. And what we are trying to do is bring the players with a certain style.
“But I have one characteristic, for example this Euro is proving that I’m right. By the defensive point of view, at the moment, everybody is trying to defend better,” he said.
“The lines are much more compact, the central area is much more occupied, you give space to the opponents down the sides, not in a central area. You compact lines in the short period of space, and these are characteristics that, in my point of view, are very, very important to a team. Defending well is very, very important.
