A Quote by Joachim Low

When we play with three at the back, we need active players, who tie up the opposition and play passes forward.

If the opposition puts two or three players on me, it means that some of our other players are free. If I can play like that, then it is better for the team.

Adama Traore

I will play power forward and small forward. Rebound, lead the break, play on the wing, post, play fast and play slow.

Kevon Looney

When you're Scottish you're brought up to play anywhere and it's fine to play for one or two games but you need to play in your right position, especially on the back of scoring nine goals for Hull City.

Robert Snodgrass

You're looking for players whose name on the front of the sweater is more important than the one on the back. I look for these players to play hard, to play smart and to represent their country.

Herb Brooks

I'm not saying that what the radio plays isn't good. My issue is with what they don't play. You can play Jay-Z, but why don't you play Jurassic 5? You can play Nas and Nelly, but why don't you play J-Live? I want to open up the door to how it was back in the day.

DJ Jazzy Jeff

I think I've shown I have the defensive discipline to play deep as the No.6 and start the build ups with my passing. I can also play higher up the pitch and make a difference in the opposition area. Being able to do both has helped me to play so many games.

Georginio Wijnaldum

To me, attacking football happens when Makelele gets the ball and passes it to the central defender who passes it to the right-back who comes forward and judges the situation. If he can do something he passes forward or runs with the ball, if not he gives it back to Makelele who builds the attack again. That is attacking football. In England attacking football is giving the ball to Makelele and having him hit it forward no matter what, even if everybody is marked.

Jose Mourinho

You're never happy with a tie you're trying to win. The reality is we have to come back and play tomorrow, and whatever the outcome tomorrow is, we have to come back and play again.

Walt Kyle

In football, every play, play after play, there's that physicality. Football players only play once a week, so they must really need to rest. That does kind of tell you how physical the sport is. But in hockey, you have the boards. I just couldn't say which is more physical.

Sidney Crosby

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

We also play a Father/Son at home and I play with Steve, too. I try to mix it up. We play two or three times a year, but that's about it.

Jack Nicklaus

I wouldn't want to play as left forward if I normally play right-back.

Lothar Matthaus

Playing with Coutinho is easy. He's a very quick player who dribbles well. He knows how to play out wide, and my job is not just to go past and help him: it's also to give the greatest number of passes to him in space around the opposition right-back.

Filipe Luis

It is impossible for forward play to be quite as safe as back play, because there must be a moment when the ball is out of sight.

Ranjitsinhji

If you're going to play in all three formats, you can't play all the games. You probably play two Test matches, miss the last one and take some time off and maybe come back for the second ODI or second T20.
