As a coach you can influence the diet of your players. You can point out what is wrong.

It's like you wanting to marry Miss World and she doesn't want you, what can I do about it? I can try to help you, but if she does not want to marry you what can I do?

When you represent a club it's about values and qualities, not about passports.

It's a strange atmosphere always over there, it is darker and less glamorous, and you don't feel as high. It is a different kind of test - can you raise your level in a less exciting environment and perhaps still a very difficult one?

Nobody has enough talent to live on talent alone. Even when you have talent, a life without work goes nowhere.

Gerard is an open-minded and passionate man. I am the opposite: stubborn and stupid. But sometimes stupid behaviour makes you win.
Arsene Wenger
Image
The biggest things in life have been achieved by people who, at the start, we would have judged crazy. And yet if they had not had these crazy ideas the world would have been more stupid.

It's silly to work hard the whole week and then spoil it by not preparing properly before the game.

In England, football is important for everybody.

What makes him special? He has a mixture of physical talent and technical ability, as well as remarkable intelligence and above all a great passion for the game.
