"The only flaw I have is the derby: the work was fantastic, but not winning even one out of five is a stain. The work was excellent, but not winning even a derby is not nice. It's a special match, it's a special moment: I have a great desire like the whole team, many players have been here before me and they want to win. The team feels good, they want to give the great joy that we deserve. I have many certificates of esteem. There are people who give you courage and desire, I hope to win a derby for them."
