We try to play football; don't forget it, right. My teams always in my career try to play football. I cannot control the other circumstances.

Jamal looks like he's in shape and prepared, considering his offseason circumstances. He looks like he wants to play football and put everything behind him. Now, he can actually strap it on and nothing is holding him back.

We have to cut out some of our mistakes, but the main thing in English football is controlling the second ball. Without that, you cannot survive.

In football, the worst things are excuses. Excuses mean you cannot grow or move forward.

I'm sorry, but until my last day as a coach, I will try to play from my goalkeeper.

The only thing I have control over, ... is to try to get our football team to play as well as it can play, and have them realize they are playing against a team which has talent, coaching and tradition. And we are on the road before 110,000 people. Unless you're stupid, you've got to understand that.
