“In England everything is liberalised. Within certain boundaries and rules everybody can do what he likes. Maybe London's society has a different tempo, a different dynamic. London is fast, productive, creative but it is not England. If you want to transfer that to football, you could say: in the four big English clubs and maybe in the one or two behind them there is a top level. Everything that comes after that rather mirrors English society. It's honest, fair and hard, sometimes also fast, but not always so perfect.” IfsWantTwoDifferentSometimesHardBigsCertainCan DoPerfectLevelsBehindsCreativeFourHonestFootballFairsEnglandMirrorsClubsLondonBoundariesLikesManagersSoccerProductiveChairmanTransfersTempoEnglish Society Author:Jens Lehmann

“When I was in Dutch and Italian football, a lot of people looked at Manchester United, and when they were asked who was the best player, a lot of them said Paul Scholes. Much of what he did looked simple, but actually it was quite hard. Invariably he controlled the ball instantly and passed it straight on, keeping the game moving. He made inch-perfect passes across the pitch; he saw the gaps and could play the ball through them. So it didn't surprise me that so many top-class international footballers recognized his quality.” PeopleMadeSaidHardPlayMovingGamesSimplePerfectUnitedQualityClassSawsPlayerFootballBallsSurpriseInternationalGapsControlledItalianInchesFootballerManchesterDutchBest PlayersSurprise MeManchester UnitedScholesPaul Scholes Author:Edwin van der Sar
