A Quote by Alphonso Davies

Switching from left-winger to left-back was not as difficult as you might imagine because I have played there many times before for the national team and also for the Vancouver Whitecaps.
I was never a left-winger, actually. I was a pretend left-winger because it was more interesting than being a right-winger.
I was only used to 4-3-3. For me as a left-winger you have also a left midfielder and a left-back behind you. But in a 4-4-2 you are basically also the left midfielder so you have to help more in defence and I wasn't used to that.
It was a coach called Adailton Ladeira who first asked me to play as left-back in 1988. I was a left-winger, but our left-back was injured at Uniao Sao Joao, my first club, and he asked me to fill in. I said 'no problem,' and I've played there ever since.
Carlo Ancelotti is a good coach and a good man. I worked with him for just three months at Parma, before I left for Chelsea, although I had worked with him before with the national team. In my first game for the national team I played with him.
I can play at left-back and I can help the team at times. But everyone knows I am not a left-back.
Being a left back is a very important role, I'm happy to play there. Every time I get the call for the national team or Bayern to play left back, I'm willing to do it.
I was sad when Van Gaal left the national team, but I was also sad when Hiddink left.
I have played on the left for Koln sometimes and the national team; it is not something special.
It was very difficult to succeed Bert van Marwijk because, two years before, he was second in the World Cup, and then he left a broken-up team behind - so that was much more difficult than you think.
When I left the U.S., I sort of left that frustration and that pressure to make the national team behind me.
Everybody says Steve McManaman played on the left for me in Euro 96 but he never played on the left. The one time he did play on the left was against Switzerland.
I reject that. I would rather recruit a Racist left winger than a right winger.
The hard left is a very small section of the British population and I myself am not hard left. I am a traditional Labour left-winger.
(T)he Left has moved so far to the left that this pro-choice, lesbian feminist is now considered a Right-Winger!
You know, a left-winger, the barrier to success if you're on the left in commercial radio is a mile and a half higher than it is if you're on the right.
All boxers are OCD. You can see a bit of OCD in me before I go into the ring. I can't put on my right boot before my left. It's the same with my gloves. It's got to always be the left foot and the left hand first. I would freak out if I did it differently. I have to do the left first because that's the way I done it when I won the Olympics.
