He thinks in one second and does it the next. He is a special player, one who is original and exceptional. He creates space where there is none. Only the very best players can do that. No matter where he gets the ball or how it comes to him, Zidane can get out of trouble. His imagination and his technique are amazing.
A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself for the group, for the good of the group — that’s teamwork.
Of course! We have a great team, great players, and in football, it's everything possible.
Without any doubt the best player in the Premiership has to be Scholes. He knows how to do everything, and he is one who directs the way his team plays. On top of that, he has indestructible mental strength and he is a genuine competitor.
If one or two do go out, hopefully the players we get in will be better players.
Baseball players are smarter than football players. How often do you see a baseball team penalized for too many men on the field?
Great teams are not made up of many well-rounded players. Great teams are made up of a variety of players, each having their own strengths.
There’s only one way to succeed in anything, and that is to give it everything. I do, and I demand that my players do.
I’d go for Scholesy as the club’s greatest ever player. I’ve seen him do things that no other player can do. The way he can control the tempo of games, and his range of passing, are both incredible. We’ve seen over the years that players just haven’t been able to get near him. And you can’t forget his goals either.
An excellent player, in my opinion, he is a modern player because he is a player who runs, marks, knows how to pass, cross, score goals and he is a leader on the field for Liverpool. So he is a player that I would like to have in my team.
