Most teams have one All-Star, whether that guy made it this year or earlier in his career, and some teams have two All-Stars. What theyre showing is that a group of five guys that play together and play hard will always beat a team with two All-Stars and three average players.

Ray Allen

For some players it can be difficult at a smaller club and they suffer; they don't want to be at a club that's going to get relegated, so they think: 'Why am I here? What am I doing?' But it was good for me to go to Granada.

Football always changes. There are always new players coming in at your club or young players coming through with your club or England. You have to be ready, given 100%, improve, and get better.

Jordan Henderson

In the 1990s, we had seven great teams - Milan, Inter, Juventus, Parma, Lazio, Roma, Fiorentina. If you look at the players, they were great players, but there was some crazy investment, and some teams went bankrupt, like Parma and Lazio.

Paolo Maldini

When you become the manager of a leading club, there are so many situations you have to cope with. You have to deal with the people in charge of the club, the players, the media, the expectation... you have to deal with the whole environment around the club, and that is something you can find difficult.

Jupp Heynckes

Honestly, I am a fan of the game like anyone else, so my favorite players' list is pretty big. But if we are to narrow it down to England, I have a lot of respect for Wayne Rooney and the things he has achieved for club and country.

David Villa

You have to put all the criticism of this club down to jealousy. United have produced more players who have played for their country, more world-class players and more players who have won European Footballer of the Year than any other team in this country, so we must be doing something right.

Alex Ferguson

At every club I have been at I have had a test in the first few weeks from the big players at the club. At that moment you define your success at that club, you either win the group or you lose the group.

Carlos Carvalhal

We've got one of the best medical teams in the country and we trust in what they do is in the best interest of the players to get them fit. They're not going to undo any work that's been done at club level, and that's irrespective if you're Gareth Bale or whoever.

Rob Page

Mourinho's teams work especially hard, all the players. He has a special, winning mentality, so it is always difficult to face teams that Mourinho manages.

Jesus Navas

At the start, it was a bit difficult to come to Chelsea, a new club in a new league with very good players. It was very difficult to get into the team, but I did a lot of things to try and settle quick into the club, the team, the area.

Cesar Azpilicueta

I think players look around and they look at the teams that they'd like to join and it's usually teams that already have good players on those teams.

Tom Thibodeau

There are a couple people who have complained on other teams about some of the things that Pittsburgh players have done. Some of that goes in the category of gamesmanship. Some of that goes to the fact that we need to be vigilant as a league to make sure that players aren't unnecessarily and inappropriately hurt.

Gary Bettman

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

Words are difficult and photography takes the words away from things. It's difficult to talk about something that seems to come very naturally to you, to explain a process. A moment is really difficult to put on paper.
