A Quote by Brendan Rodgers

It was important for me, when I left a club like Liverpool, to one, have a breather, but then my next job, I needed pressure. And there's a pressure at Celtic. It's a huge club; there's an expectancy to win every game.

I have played for Real Madrid, which is such a big club and where the pressure is so huge because you have to go and, really, win absolutely every game. There is no game where people don't expect you to win. So, having played there for three years, pressure is nothing that would scare me.

Mesut Ozil

Celtic are one of the great clubs of the world. There's a pressure here that's different. You have to win every game. There's not a club in England that has that.

Brendan Rodgers

Liverpool is a great fit for me as a club. It's a huge club, and there is a lot of pressure every time you step out onto that field. I've played in front of the Anfield crowd, and it'll be nice to be on the other side of the fans now.

James Milner

In Brazil, the one who wears 10 constructs the attacks. That is what I will try to do here. The number I have at Liverpool does not give me any added pressure. The pressure I have is to play well and do my best for the team. I know that I am representing a huge club, and I want to enjoy my football.

Philippe Coutinho

I think at a club like Liverpool you always feel a bit of pressure. You should. But it doesn't bother me.

Virgil van Dijk

Real are the type of club where you are expected to win every game. For a player who wants to be the best it is stimulating to feel the pressure to defend their interests.

Fabio Cannavaro

When you come to a club like Hibs not everyone can handle it, there's pressure in every single game to get results.

John McGinn

We were under pressure at West Brom to get promoted and to stay up, even if, at a big club like Chelsea, the pressures are more highlighted by the public scrutiny you're under. It's part of our job, that pressure, and I cope with it well.

Roberto Di Matteo

I love my job. I don't find it stressful, and I only took a rest because I didn't find another club after Real. It was not something that I needed because of stress, because that is not a problem for me. I don't have pressure. I like my job, and I know how it is. I have experience.

Carlo Ancelotti

I threw up before every single football game I played, and I did so up through my NFL career. It was good pressure. It was pressure to be good. It was pressure to be the best. It was pressure to want to win.

Jim Kelly

You've got to set your sights high and expect to be scrutinised. When you play for a big club like Celtic, you're always going to come under pressure. That's to be expected.

Scott Sinclair

Playing for Liverpool, I know what the relationship between the fans and the club is like. With every player, you can see the desire to win, the desire to show that Liverpool are the best and deserve to win the league.

Fabinho

I do understand Chelsea are a big club, and there is always pressure on managers to win games and trophies. So I understand they might not be willing to take a chance on someone at a bigger club.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek

Celtic are the club I supported as a boy, and I loved every moment I was there. For me to leave there, I knew I was going to have to not just come to a club, but I had to come to a special club that was going to allow me to connect with the players and hopefully the supporters, too.

Brendan Rodgers

We can do what we love to do and also to play for Liverpool - they are such a big club. You need to enjoy it but the pressure will always be there.

Virgil van Dijk

When you are putting that pressure on yourself to win the Premier League, every game brings pressure, every point counts.
