Every league starts with homegrown players. — © Frank de Boer
Every league starts with homegrown players.
There are not many managers in the Premier League willing to put homegrown players in and trust them.
I think every manager is the same. Three days before the Premier League starts, every manager is selfish that way. They want the players fit and ready.
You're seeing more players come back to MLS in their prime and the homegrown talent coming up that's of high quality. I think that game's always continuing to grow, and I'm happy to be part of that growth and come back to the league.
The league is crazy. It's hard to win in this league, and you have teams coming at you every week with players just as good as you.
I'd say in the NBA, we have a league that really encourages players to stand for what they believe in. And I think that has created a great relationship between the players and the league.
The group of players that you see in the Barca dressing room is unique. There are a lot of homegrown players and others who really care for Barcelona a lot as well.
I am one of the pioneers, along with those players who went before me, and I'm coming to China to help the league and help more players get to know this league.
We want hungry players, players who have a burning ambition to play in the Premier League and stay in the Premier League for years to come.
I'm a little skeptical of foreign coaches in our league and in U.S. Soccer just because of how different our league is and our players are than other players around the world.
Everybody likes the Premier League. It has a lot of spectacle, a lot of goals, and many good players. It is natural that every good player is attracted by that league.
Ajax has always been about homegrown players developed in a small country.
Most clubs would actually like homegrown players because they're a lot cheaper.
I actually spoke to all the national team players who play in the Premier League, asking about what the league is like and the style of play. It's one thing watching it on the TV, but being involved in it every day is another thing.
I think it's normal that you will lose players if you don't play every season in the Champions League, because that's the intention for every player to be part of that.
Every year in the Premier League, every team is improving. Every team is buying new players.
I think the biggest thing for everybody in this league is the respect of their peers. A lot of the things we do, the way we compete, is for everybody in this league to respect as good players. Whether GMs see it or not or people on the outside, we want the respect of players.
