When you win, you don't get carried away. But if you go step by step, with confidence, you can go far.
I don't believe skill was, or ever will be, the result of coaches. It is a result of a love affair between the child and the ball.
The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team.
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.
I am constantly being asked about individuals. The only way to win is as a team. Football is not about one or two or three star players.
The vision of a champion is someone who is bent over, drenched in sweat, at the point of exhaustion, when no one else is watching.
Soccer is a game for 22 people that run around, play the ball, and one referee who makes a slew of mistakes, and in the end, Germany always wins.
