On his character

Mourinho Please don't call me arrogant, but it is true that I'm a European champion, I'm not just one out of a bottle, I'm a special one

Scolari I'm a fighter, you know. Until now, everything I have fought for and tried to achieve I have done. Even when it was difficult, I got there

On why he chose Chelsea

Mourinho I want to work with big players and with the urgent ambition

to win titles and cups. That is what I love about football

Scolari This is a new challenge in my life, a different challenge. The club is in a good situation

On coping with pressure

Mourinho We should not defend ourselves from outside pressures by saying we want success but that it can wait until the last year of my contract

Scolari I know how to manage it because in Brazil, where I was coach, they eat and sleep football. The only pressure on me here is to speak English

On winning

Mourinho Over the last two years I had a taste of success and I want more. I do not want to arrive in 2010 with the same titles I have now

Scolari Me and my staff want to win all the competitions we enter. I think we have the potential to do that

On relationship with the owner

Mourinho We spent two days getting to know each other on the boat. Abramovich knows what I want and I understand he wants to win

Scolari I have met Mr Abramovich two times. We have a fantastic relationship. I have respect for him and he has respect for me

On relationship with players

Mourinho We cannot be separate. We must be a team. Individual players don't win titles, teams and squads do

Scolari I like my players to be a family. I will give my players all that they need and in exchange I want respect for me, my staff and my club

On who he will sign

Mourinho If all the names that have been written in the last few days were right, I'd have a 50-player squad. Many of the names are not correct

Scolari Now is the time only for speculation. I don't know how many changes I need. I need to get to know my group first

On how Chelsea will play

Mourinho I say to my teams that if you react to the opposition then you will never know how to play. Go on to the pitch and play how you want to play football

Scolari We will try and play beautiful football but sometimes to win, you cannot play beautiful football. But I want both and we will try to achieve that

On relationship with other managers

Mourinho You must try to know every coach's style. With some coaches in Portugal, I could smell which substitutions they will make at half-time

Scolari I have a very good relationship with all the coaches I have met across the world. Maybe not with one or two, but only maybe

On being sacked

Mourinho If that happens then I can always find another job. But I have not come here to give myself nightmares

Scolari I am now at one of the biggest clubs in the world and for sure I need to win a competition
