One trophy is good, but two are better. That way, when a hero wears his medals on his chest, at least his steps are level as he walks by.

The hardest thing about an easy match is making a weak opponent play poor. A poor player isn't poor because he tends to kick the ball in his own goal. It's because when you put intense pressure on him, he loses control. So you have to increase the tempo of the game and he'll automatically give the ball away.

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.
Johan Cruijff

Football is about having the best offensive play possible. I always like to play offensive football, and nobody will convince me otherwise.

It is better to fail with your own vision than to fail with another man's vision.

When you play a match, it is statistically proven that players actually have the ball 3 minutes on average ... So, the most important thing is: what do you do during those 87 minutes when you do not have the ball. That is what determines wether you're a good player or not.

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

Image
I can be a new Di Stefano, but I can't be a new Pelé. He is the one that goes beyond the limits of logic.

Every professional golfer has a seperate coach for his drives, for approaches, for putting. In football we have one coach for 15 players. This is absurd.
