I am happy with everything I achieved in my football career. I don't think I could have done any more.

To play for your country is the best thing that can happen.

Being a football manager is no fun at all. You have to put up with all the hassle. It is not surprising that so many turn grey or have heart attacks.

I've taken challenges with the big risk that it can all go wrong. But that's what I like and I'd rather do that than be safe all the time.

We must have had 99 per cent of the match. It was the other three per cent that cost us.

In L.A., nobody is talking about football. No television stations. You see it nowhere.

I am very fit and by playing sweeper I can control the speed of the game.
