Technique is not being able to juggle a ball 1000 times. Anyone can do that by practicing. Then you can work in the circus. Technique is passing the ball with one touch, with the right speed, at the right foot of your team mate.

Often you see people who move there and then, once they have arrived, the ball moves here after which they also come here, but then the ball goes there again. I say: just stay where you are, then you are in any case at the right place half of the time.

If my forward arrives in a one vs one situation, I always say: 'let him work it out.' Then my players say: But we can help him!'.

Mourinho is a coach of titles, not football. Or rather, not a football coach if we understand the sport is a spectacle or entertainment for those who watch it, either at home or live in the stadium.

If you want to play quicker you can start running faster, but it's the ball that decides the speed of the game.

Without the ball, you can't win.

Someone who has juggled the ball in the air during a game, after which four defenders of the opponent get the time to run back, that's the player people think is great. I say he has to go to a circus.
Johan Cruijff
Image
Speed is often confused with insight. When I start running earlier than the others, I appear faster.

Eric Cantona is a great player, but he's not as good as Ryan Giggs
