A Quote by Gerard Houllier

You have different levels of players. There's are Premier League, international and world-class levels. The world-class level is players at the peak of their career and there's only maybe 50 maximum in the whole world. Stevie moved from a Premier League player to an international player and then world class.
The England team shouldn't be picked on whichever players are in the Premier League when you've got a Premier League player playing in the Championship.
At first it was a bit surreal playing in the Premier League at 16, coming up against world-class players, because it had always been my dream. But quickly, it becomes second nature to you.
Of course you have Messi and Ronaldo. And then you've got a lot of players who are very close to each other and I think Gareth Bale is one of them, like at the level of the best teams in the world. He could play for every team in the world. For me he's a world class player.
To be a Premier League player is something that not everyone can say; even some of the best players in the world can't say that!
Of course the Premier League is the most difficult league in the world because it's so even. I think you can't really compare other leagues with the Premier League. In the Premier League, every team can beat every team, and in football, that's something where you can have surprises.
Many players in the French squad play in the Premier League or have played in the Premier League, so I knew about the level.
The best league in the world is the Premier League, so I am so happy to be here playing with and against big players.
The Premier League is the best league in the world and Manchester United is the perfect place for me to continue to develop as a player.
Of course the Premier League has the most top level players in the world. But the Chinese guys are very good.
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.
It is a great challenge to be playing against the best players in the world, and I always wanted to play in the Premier League and be a part of this league.
I believe that the Premier League is the best league in the world, and having played in the Premier League for such a long time, it is to my advantage, and I know what to expect.
The Premier League is probably the best in the world so if you have a lot of players who play well there, it's normal that they are going to grow as players.
Messi doesn't have to do it in the Premier League to prove himself. The Champions League is the ultimate club competition. If he was in the Premier League, he'd be the best player by some distance.
Playing week in, week out in the Premier League is massive. You're coming across the best players in the world in probably the best league in the world.
As a young player, I had to compete with Harry Kane - the top scorer of the Premier League - arguably the toughest league in the world, and a striker who is performing remains in the team.
