Eric Cantona is a great player, but he's not as good as Ryan Giggs

When you're playing against a team that has two great central defenders, the best option is to play without a striker.

One trophy is good, but two are better. That way, when a hero wears his medals on his chest, at least his steps are level as he walks by.

Football is a simple game. It's just very hard to play it simple.

The most difficult thing about an easy match is to make a weak opponent play bad football.

To play well, you need good players, but a good player almost always has the problem of a lack of efficiency. He always wants to do things prettier than strictly necessary.

Someone who has juggled the ball in the air during a game, after which four defenders of the opponent get the time to run back, that's the player people think is great. I say he has to go to a circus.
