Without the ball, you can't win.

In football, like in life, you must learn to play within the rules of the game.

Football is a game you're supposed to have fun in.

Football is big business - you can't get away from it. But you have to separate that side from the playing.

Sometimes in football you have to score goals.

When you go out on a football field, you are responsible for taking care of yourself. The more rules you get, the less players truly take care of themselves.

What happens is once you start to understand football, you realise that it's not just about the physical side of the game and chasing after a ball. It's a strategic sport which requires a lot of intelligence. It's a very mental game.

I want to win football games.

Football can generate excitement and bring people together.
