Football is simple but the hardest thing to do is play simple football.

I can be a new Di Stefano, but I can't be a new Pelé. He is the one that goes beyond the limits of logic.

I felt sorry for the match ball - it came off the pitch crying.

The difference between right and wrong is often not more than five metres.

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

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.

Often you see people who move there and then, once they have arrived, the ball moves here after which they also come here, but then the ball goes there again. I say: just stay where you are, then you are in any case at the right place half of the time.
