There are good players, there are great players, and there are those few at the pinnacle - the Peles, Cruyffs and Maradonas.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Believe me, you need good people if you want to make good players.
Pele was the most complete player I've ever seen.
I played with a lot of great players before. They're all the same. They take a lot of responsibility for their own play, put a lot of pressure on themselves to perform and to play well.
You've got to be extremely careful, because you could be with a great team, and you could be the product of a great team. There are some players that stand out despite the teams that they play on, and there are some players that are good because of the team that they're with.
Growing up, Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo were the players I looked up to - and Carlos Tevez when he was at the club.
I think there are a lot of good people, a lot of good football guys in the NFL.
There are other players who were more talented, but there is no one who could out-prepare me.
I want players who are always striving to improve.
I knew Manuel Pellegrini from my time in Spain. I'd only heard good things about him, that he was someone who instilled the confidence in his players to go out and play good, attacking football.
There have been so many great players that I've played with, that I've played against over the years.
