To me, teamwork is the beauty of our sport, where you have five acting as one. You become selfless.
What is the most important thing in the world? It is people, it is people, it is people.

Football is a simple game. Twenty-two men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans always win.
The goalkeeper is the jewel in the crown and getting at him should be almost impossible. It's the biggest sin in football to make him do any work.
Football is like life - it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication, and respect for authority.
The rules of soccer are very simple, basically it is this: if it moves, kick it. If it doesn't move, kick it until it does.
Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.
