Hi Pep, in terms of Enzo, I mean I'm sure you will say Chelsea have appointed him
00:05
because of his skills and his record at Leicester and things like that, but when
00:09
clubs appoint managers who have worked with you, do you feel that maybe they are
00:14
looking to see if some of your ideas, some of your magic, if you like, has rubbed
00:18
off a bit on them?
00:19
I don't think so. I would like to say yes, but I don't think so.
00:25
So the job that Enzo has done in Leicester belongs absolutely to him, to his staff,
00:30
backroom staff and his players. Influence in Leicester was promoted to the
00:35
Premier League again, my influence is zero. Zero. I didn't score one goal, I didn't
00:42
save anything, I didn't have any idea. Because I said many times, when we are in
00:47
my staff, it's not just in one direction, the info. I give the info, but they give
00:52
it to me too, and I learn from them too. So it's a back and forth, it's not just
00:56
what I'm saying to go to the church. No, it's on both sides and the
01:04
success for the people who work together belongs absolutely to them.
01:08
What do you think about the job he's got on his hands at Chelsea? Because it's obviously a very difficult job, a lot of managers,
01:13
experienced managers have come in and it hasn't worked. How difficult do you think it will be?
01:17
If they accept my advice, give him time. If they accept my advice for the owners from Chelsea, give him time and it will work.
01:26
All the managers need time, right? So I don't know if Chelsea is the place to do this,
01:34
but give him time and he will work. This is my feeling.
01:39
And were you surprised that, I know you've spoken in the past about Chelsea and the transfer market,
01:43
how many players they've bought, were you surprised to see them once again go back
01:46
into the market and spend so much money again this summer?
01:49
I know you referenced it last year.
01:52
You see the Devil's Squad, yeah. It's a lot.
01:57
But the reason why they do it is not my business.
02:02
When all the times judge what Man City do, I will not be the first to say what the others do.
02:08
They can do what they believe is the best for the team.
02:12
I'm pretty sure they do it.
02:13
But if you see the Devil's Squad have more than 40 players or more than 40,
02:19
so it's a lot. So this is the reality, but I don't know.
