I'm not religious. In Spain all 22 players make the sign of the cross before they enter the pitch. If it works all matches must therefore end in a draw.

In my teams, the goalie is the first attacker, and the striker the first defender.

If you can't win, make sure you don't lose.

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

Every professional golfer has a seperate coach for his drives, for approaches, for putting. In football we have one coach for 15 players. This is absurd.

Football is simple, you're either on time, or you're too late. If you're too late then you have to leave earlier.

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