You can't always have the best team. It's always a compromise.

You can't love your team without hating another team.

Everyone always says you have to be on the best team, the team that wins. Oh, no, no, no. I disagree with that.

I feel as if we have the best team in the country. You've got to have that feeling.

I have to keep working hard and playing well because I don't like to be second or third: they're the worst places to be. You would be proud, of course, because it means you're on the way, but you want to finish first.

To be better than 31 other teams, you better be a really good team. It's just not about one person.

I didn't lose. I got second. That's still winning. How could I be unhappy with second place? There are a million people who would love to be in my position.

When you have bad teams, you've got to be creative to win games you're not supposed to win.

First, accept sadness. Realize that without losing, winning isn't so great.

The problem with me is I always think I should've done better. I felt that after the World Cup final and through my whole career.
