Sometimes in football, the best team does not necessarily win; it's the team that plays best on the day that prevails.
To this day I am not convinced of having brought together with me in Germany the technically best players that could have been. But I was firmly convinced I called the ones that could create a team, and they could play with one another to the best of their possibility. In this day and age you win if you become a team. It doesn't necessarily mean that you've got to have the best football players in the country. It's possible that the best, all together, don't become a team. It's like a mosaic, you have to put all the pieces together.
The best team does not always win, it's the team that plays the best.
This is football, no more explanation, sometimes the best team does not win.
You want to go out there and do what's best for the team, help your team move the ball down the field, make plays, help them win football games.
I help my team win. That's overall what I do best. If you watch me play, I'm usually going to be on the winning team. Whether it's scoring enough points or rebounding enough or guarding the best player on the other team, I'm gonna do what it takes to win.
Football isn't necessarily won by the best players. It's won by the team with the best attitude.
When your great players are team players, everybody else follows their lead. The best team doesn't always win - it's usually the team that gets along best.
I came from my hometown team, Real Sociedad, to the best team in England, to the best team in Spain, to the best team in Germany.
When you play a team with as much attacking power as Barcelona and you restrict them to one shot on target in the second leg, you are doing something right. Have the best football team gone through? Yes. Have the best organised team gone through? No.
Sometimes a team plays very well but doesn't manage to score, while another team comes and scores. But then, that's how football is.
Every day you are in the media for good or for bad and sometimes this is not helping the driver or the team to control the driver in the best way as well. But Ferrari is Ferrari and the biggest, most famous team in Formula One, so you have a lot more pressure there than at another team.
It's not always the best team that wins the game it's the team that plays better.
Perhaps the toughest call for a coach is weighing what is best for an individual against what is best for the team. Keeping a player on the roster just because I liked him personally, or even because of his great contributions to the team in the past, when I felt some one else could do more for the team would be a disservice to the team's goals.
Bottom line is I always want what's best for the team, and as long as the football team is winning games, I'm happy.
I believe the team of Tony Abbott and Julia Gillard is the best leadership team for the Liberal Party and therefore part of the best leadership team of the Coalition for the country.
Supporting the English cricket team is like supporting a second division football team. I support Norwich City football team and when they lose I really don't mind because I expect them to; but when we win I'm so happy - much happier than any Arsenal supporter could ever be.
