Sven Goran Eriksson Inspirational Quotes (7)

Football is much harder if you don't have the ball.

He was magnificent very clever with outstanding technique. He could pass the ball over five yards or fifty he could see things to set up other people he could shoot and he could score goals. If you gave me Paul Scholes and ten others, I would be happy. I would tell them to give him the ball and then we would have a good team.

The only real failure in life is the failure to try.
