Clubs don't like their players going off to play international matches and you can see a scenario where they eventually start to make it more difficult for international sides to call up players.

More quotes by Michael Owen
I have never thought of a scenario where international football was not a massive part of our [England] game.
Michael Owen
The Spanish league is fantastic, but it has not the great passion the English Premiership has got.
Michael Owen
I thought I would break the scoring record when I got to 40 goals by the age of 27 or 28, but then Fabio Capello took over and he never picked me again.
Michael Owen
Best atmosphere I ever played in was at Celtic Park in the UEFA Cup for Liverpool.
Michael Owen
Scholesy was a genius, absolute genius. He was a center-forward's dream, you could make a run and he'd put the ball perfectly in your path. Any footballer you ask will always tell you that Scholesy was one of the best players they've ever played with.
Michael Owen
I don't get a lot of enjoyment out of sitting there for an hour and a half watching a game like we saw between Ireland and England last Sunday.
Michael Owen
[Wayne Rooney] has to be viewed as a great England striker if he breaks Sir Bobby Charlton's record. Scoring goals at international level is much more difficult than it was a few years back because even the lesser teams are well organised and don't concede too many goals these days.
Michael Owen
I think it's getting tougher and tougher, all the big teams are getting stronger and there's more of them.
Michael Owen
I have a great family, good friends, a nice girlfriend, my own house. I have got everything how I want it to be.
Michael Owen
I loved [Real Madrid]. It was a real experience, playing with a great team. One of the first questions I'm often asked is 'What was Madrid like?' It's got that mystique about it. It's a magical place and a magical team, and everything about it is great.
Michael Owen
The longer my career has gone, the more I seem to score... It's experience and age and knowing where the ball's going to be.
Michael Owen
If you only ever give 90% in training then you will only ever give 90% when it matters.
Michael Owen
I think the greatest Real Madrid player of all time is Cristiano Ronaldo followed by Ferenc Puskas. Ronaldo equalled Puskas’ great record of 242 goals in fewer games. He was also the fastest Real Madrid player to score 100 goals and holds the record for most goals scored for Madrid in a season.
Michael Owen
I wouldn't change my life for the world at the moment.
Michael Owen
When you put better teams in front of you, that's when the big players rise to that occasion.
Michael Owen
Give me a great Champions League game or an exciting Premier League game ahead of an international match and I'd love that to reverse. A lot of people have lost interest in England games, it is quite hard to watch.
Michael Owen
The better the opposition put in front of you, the better your team plays.
Michael Owen
There is no doubt that I would have won more honours had I signed for Manchester United as a youngster.
Michael Owen
A lot of people have lost interest in watching England play. To get motivated to watch international football, you need your country to be having some form of success and England haven't had any for a long time now.
Michael Owen
If you cut me in half, I'm a footballer.
