With Jorginho it depends what type of football you want to play. If you want to play possession where you have the ball all the time and you play a lot of passes, there are not many as good as him around. If you ask Jorginho to cover 50 metres of pitch in width and get all the balls back, it's going to be difficult.

Gianfranco Zola

When you have a lot of ball possession, you have a lot of ball possession to create chances, not to play the ball around and not score.

Louis van Gaal

I like to have the ball, to have possession and to play passes, to create chances for my team-mates. I think that is what makes me strong.

Ilkay Gundogan

I like to create chances, to shoot when I play farther forward, but I also like playing deeper, as you have more time on the ball.

Toni Kroos

I've been lucky enough to play for the Spanish national team and Barcelona, two sides who've shown that you can play good, attractive possession football and win major titles.

Carles Puyol

I love this style: get the ball back quickly, then play possession with so many combinations. When you watch that, you get the feeling you want to go out on the pitch and play football with your friends and just enjoy yourself. City and Barcelona are great examples.

Frenkie de Jong

Our style of play is increasingly based on possession of the ball. It suits me as a forward. We've got an attacking approach, and that means that I get a lot of chances; otherwise, I would have not been able to score so many goals.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

You pressure, you want possession, you want to attack. Some teams can't or don't pass the ball. What are you playing for? What's the point? That's not football. Combine, pass, play. That's football - for me, at least.

Xavi

With Bayern, we want a lot of ball possession and to control the play, so I operate sometimes like the 11th outfield player. Thus I am included a lot into the build-up play and have a lot of touches of the ball.

Manuel Neuer

When teams play good football, it tends to create chances for the striker.

Tammy Abraham

If you want to play dominant football, you need to get the ball, think fast, and play quick combinations in small spaces.

Arjen Robben

In America everyone plays bang ball, eight ball, nine ball, that kind of stupid crap, but in Canada and Europe they play snooker which is a much more skillful game and I enjoy that. I play pool now with friends, if we go to a bar we will play, but I am nowhere near as good as I once was.

Daniel Negreanu

I give assists; I create chances, because I can't forget my position. I play still on the wing, not No 9. I play for the team, and everyone can see that.

Mohamed Salah

I see football as a bit like a stairway, and you have to climb it bit by bit. First, you have to play good football so that you get to play for a good team. Then, hopefully you achieve such a level that you are invited to play for your national side, in time for a World Cup, if possible.

Philippe Coutinho

Everyone needs to be in position to create the openings we have. We like to play a lot where you pass the ball forward and it comes back, because it makes it easier for us to attack, because the midfielders have to turn round.
