I am not against being pragmatic, because it is pragmatic to make a good pass, not a bad one. If I have the ball, what do I do with it? Could anybody argue that a bad solution like just kicking it away is pragmatic just because, sometimes, it works by accident?

If you do not believe you can do it then you have no chance at all.

Young players need freedom of expression to develop as creative players... they should be encouraged to try skills without fear of failure.

At a young age winning is not the most important thing... the important thing is to develop creative and skilled players with good confidence.

Some are wrong because they are not strong enough to fight temptation and some some are wrong because they do not know.

I have only been here since 1996 but between 1966 and 1996 England had thirty years without foreign players and didn't win any more competitions in that time.

If I were going to war I would want to be alongside an Englishman not a Frenchman. The Frenchman would think too much.
