Quote

Well, I don't think I've necessarily ever been a passionate football player or a passionate person.

Football can generate excitement and bring people together.

Basketball is my favorite sport, and I'm also a very passionate football fan.

But my biggest passion is football.

Football is a sport of emotions, and we have to capture that in our films.

Football will always be my foremost passion.

We're sympathetic, but once you step on the field, football's football.

And I think because of the passion of every English player and every English supporter, and every English journalist for the game, most of the game is played with passion, love for football and instinct, but in football you also have to think.

Football is a great love because I was born into a family of players and therefore born into football. I'm fortunate to have a style of play that a lot of people like. It's a privilege to be able to do what I like best and in my own way, but I'm fortunate that people like it, and that motivates me even more.

I love football.
