In football, the worst blindness is only seeing the ball.
The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will.
Football is a simple game; 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans always win.
The only yardstick for success our society has is being a champion. No one remembers anything else.
The game of football has been the best teacher of life that I could ever have had. It has taught me the true meaning of teamwork.
If you don't believe you can win, there is no point in getting out of bed at the end of the day.
I learned all about life with a ball at my feet.
Football is a game played with the head. Your feet are just the tools.
Football is like life - it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority.
The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender.
Football is a game of mistakes. Whoever makes the fewest mistakes wins.
If you're attacking, you don't get as tired as when you're chasing.
Football is a game played with arms, legs, and shoulders but mostly from the neck up.
Football is like war. You have to attack and defend at the same time.
When you win, nothing hurts.
The ball is round, the game lasts ninety minutes, and everything else is just theory.
Winning means you're willing to go longer, work harder, and give more than anyone else.
To be successful, you must accept all challenges that come your way. You can't just accept the ones you like.
Football is like life, it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication, and respect for authority.
