In small space a player has to be capable of acting quickly. A good player who needs too much time can suddenly become a poor player.

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

When you play a match, it is statistically proven that players actually have the ball 3 minutes on average ... So, the most important thing is: what do you do during those 87 minutes when you do not have the ball. That is what determines wether you're a good player or not.

Choose the best player for every position, and you'll end up not with a strong XI, but with 11 strong 1's.

It's all very simple: if you score one more than your opponent, you win.

YOU NEED BOTH QUALITY AND RESULTS. RESULTS WITHOUT QUALITY IS BORING; QUALITY WITHOUT RESULTS IS MEANINGLESS.

The ball is an essential part of the game.
