Quote

Football is a great deal like life in that it teaches that work, sacrifice, perseverance, competitive drive, selflessness and respect for authority is the price that each and every one of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.

Football has always been a big part of my life. Almost from the day I was born, playing and coaching football were all I really ever wanted to do.

Football is a passionate game. It excites us.

Football teaches you hard work. It takes a lot of unspectacular preparation to have spectacular results in both business and football.

I just think to be a manager you've got to live and breathe and have this incredible enthusiasm for football, the whole thing. And while I love the game, and it's been a large part of my life, it's not the only thing in my life.

Football is what keeps me going, what makes me prosper, and what will keep me straight.

Personally, I love training, and getting paid to play football is incredible. Playing the game and working hard is what I have always dreamed of doing.

But my biggest passion is football.

The game of football is something I dearly love, and there's nothing else I'd rather be doing.

I believe in work, in connections between the players, I think what makes football great is that it is a team sport. You can win in different ways, by being more of a team, or by having better individual players. It is the team ethic that interests me, always.
