Asks Quote by Conor McGregor
“To do anything to a high level it has to be total obsession. Ask José Mourinho, he wouldn't know a thing about me, my sport - he knows football, and to get to high levels you have to be insane, nothing else means anything. I respect all forms of movement and lifestyles, but I am in a bubble. I wake up, it is in my head; I go to sleep, it's in my head, 24/7.”

![“José Mourinho is a big star. He's nice. The first time he met Helena [Ibrahimovic's partner] he whispered to her: 'Helena, you have only one mission - feed Zlatan, let him sleep, keep him happy.' That guy says whatever he wants. I like him.” quote by Zlatan Ibrahimovic](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/806/zlatan-ibrahimovic-4418_bigs_jos-mourinho-is-a-big-star-he-s-nice-the_204614.jpg)
