Football Quotes

“Football used to be my god but no longer is. I still love it, I'm still aggressive, I still want to be very successful at it, I want to win a lot of football games. And my job is to be the best football player in the world, because it affords me a life; it pays, it's my job, and so it hasn't dulled my senses for the game or the love or the great excitement I get from the game. It's just that I'm very much at peace with myself because of my faith.”

“To this day I am not convinced of having brought together with me in Germany the technically best players that could have been. But I was firmly convinced I called the ones that could create a team, and they could play with one another to the best of their possibility. In this day and age you win if you become a team. It doesn't necessarily mean that you've got to have the best football players in the country. It's possible that the best, all together, don't become a team. It's like a mosaic, you have to put all the pieces together.”

“Football is like life - it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority.”

“Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing.”

“I prefer to win titles with the team ahead of individual awards or scoring more goals than anyone else. I'm more worried about being a good person than being the best football player in the world. When all this is over, what are you left with? When I retire, I hope I am remembered for being a decent guy.”

“A lot of football success is in the mind. You must believe you are the best and then make sure that you are.”

“Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein.”

“If a man watches three football games in a row, he should be declared legally dead.”

“winning is not everything it is the only thing”
