Football is football and talent is talent. But the mindset of your team makes all the difference.

When you just work tactically, in pure football sessions, you can see the way they can think football.

Football is like life - it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority.

With good coaching, proper motivation and the right club structure with organic growth, you can achieve an awful lot in football.

In football, the result is an impostor. You can do things really, really well but not win. There's something greater than the result, more lasting - a legacy.

When you get to that level, it's not a matter of talent anymore - because all the players are so talented - it's about preparation, about playing smart and making good decisions.

Excellence is being able to perform at a high level over and over again. You can hit a half-court shot once. That's just the luck of the draw. If you consistently do it... that's excellence.

There are two types of football - there's physical football and football talent.
