Before I make a mistake, I don't make that mistake.

I find it terrible when talents are rejected based on computer stats. Based on the criteria at Ajax now I would have been rejected. When I was 15, I couldn't kick a ball 15 meters with my left and maybe 20 with my right. My qualities technique and vision, are not detectable by a computer.

Why couldn't you beat a richer club? I've never seen a bag of money score a goal.

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

Playing football is very simple, but playing simple football is the hardest thing there is.

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.

If you want to play quicker you can start running faster, but it's the ball that decides the speed of the game.
