soccer football looks
I'm-A-God-Look-At-Me.
soccer football
They had Jan Venegoor of...whatever you call him.
soccer football monday
I understand the intensity of the supporters. I wonder how they could turn up for work on Monday morning after we lost 5-1 to Manchester City.
soccer moving player
I tell the players that the bus is moving. This club has to progress. And the bus wouldn't wait for them. I tell them to get on board.
soccer football winning
Liverpool can play for only five minutes and win the game, that is the way they are. They pump the ball into the box and with good set-piece delivery they keep you under pressure.
soccer country football
You have to put all the criticism of this club down to jealousy. United have produced more players who have played for their country, more world-class players and more players who have won European Footballer of the Year than any other team in this country, so we must be doing something right.
soccer team philosophy
The philosophy of a lot of European teams, even in home matches, is not to give a goal away.
soccer football hands
Sometimes in football you have to hold your hand up and say, yeah, they're better than us.
soccer teamwork canada
I'm going to tell you the story about the geese which fly 5,000 miles from Canada to France. They fly in V-formation but the second ones don't fly. They're the subs for the first ones. And then the second ones take over - so it's teamwork.
soccer great-football born
That lad must have been born offside.
soccer football thinking
I think Sepp Blatter is in danger...or has reached a point now, where he is being mocked within the game. Whether he's getting too old, I don't know. But things can happen to people in power. Look at some of the despots in Africa... From a position of great power, he has uttered so many ridiculous statements that he is in danger of seriously damaging his credibility.
motivational soccer dream
If you're going to be a footballer, be a great one.If you're going to have a dream, dream big.
expected expecting half
We weren't expecting them to play that long. We expected them to play half a game.
came clicked confidence great held second trying
We held well and they didn't have any great chances. It clicked because we got that second goal. Confidence came into the team, we were trying things and I thought it was good.
