For me, happy footballers play the best football. — © Freddie Ljungberg
For me, happy footballers play the best football.
I do not play football to win the Ballon d'Or. I play football to be happy, because I love it and want to play football.
I play to be happy in the first place and then to help my colleagues and my team the best way I can, with the best football.
Football is about having the best offensive play possible. I always like to play offensive football, and nobody will convince me otherwise.
I'm happy to be in the centre for Wales - that's my favourite position and where I play my best football.
I think I must play how I can, that's all. And if I play my best I'll be happy. It doesn't matter because NHL is the best league in the world and we have great players so whoever the coach puts me with is the best. The coach knows best.
People wonder why I smile a lot. It is because I am doing what I love best: to play football for people who love me. It makes me happy.
I was not getting much time on the pitch and was in need of this time to improve and play my best football. Wenger was not prepared to give it to me. Also my position on the wing was not what I was expecting and I wasn't happy with it.
Italian football lost credibility because of the match-fixing scandals - the best footballers didn't want to come.
Money is important, but the most important thing for me is to play football, and then I'm happy. OK, you want to earn a good amount of money to be secure, but if I chose money, I would go to Russia and already have a lot more. I like to play football, and that is it.
Arsenal and Manchester United play the best football. They're not happy with one goal, they want to win by three.
Even though I feel very privileged to play football, with the things I have experienced within the game, it is not something I would be shouting from the rooftops, to recommend to people's children to be footballers. Because there are a lot of things that happen on a day-to-day basis at club football that I wouldn't wish on anybody.
You can play football in Bayern, in Barcelona, in Manchester, in London, wherever. In the end, it's football, and you want to play with the best.
I didn't play in the NFL, and I didn't play defensive line. But football, at the fundamental level, is football. It's about motivating people and getting the best out of them.
I feel sorry sometimes for these sportsmen and women who put in just as much effort as the footballers. For example, athletes train at least as hard as footballers but have to be happy if they can earn enough to finance a decent education.
I don't think it can be in the genes. If you see the amount of footballers, how many sons play football? Not many.
My dream was to play football for the Oakland Raiders. But my mother thought I would get hurt playing football, so she chose baseball for me. I guess moms do know best.
