00:00Ruben, I'm old enough to have been at Jose Mourinho's first press conference in 2004 when he joined Chelsea.
00:05Did you recall that yourself? And obviously you're a young man then.
00:08What did you make of it? And also, obviously we've asked about him already,
00:11but what was the most significant influence he's had on you as a manager?
00:15First thing, not just in me, but all the Portuguese coaches.
00:19It shows that we can be the best in the world.
00:23And this is something different in a small country.
00:25Obviously this can put a stamp on everybody, but I'm different from Mourinho.
00:33I'm a different person, but I remember that time.
00:37In that time, you look at Mourinho and you felt that he can win everywhere.
00:42It's not the same thing. He was European champion.
00:49I'm not European champion, but I'm a different guy in a different moment.
00:54Football nowadays is different, and I think I'm the right person for this moment.
01:02Because I'm a young guy, I understand the players.
01:06So I try to use that to help my players, like Mourinho in that area did in Chelsea.
01:14If you remember, the young guys were like Lampard and this kind of players.
01:21Nowadays it's so much different. So I think I'm the right guy for this moment.
