I'm a football coach. It seems the league is cyclical and hiring young guys... but experience in the NFL still means a heck of a lot.
It's a league that you really have to get used to. If you're coming from another one, it's a tough league. Getting the experience playing in a Premier League team and getting hopefully consistent games will be huge for me.
Experience is a big thing when playing in the Premier League - it's a different game to any other league.
I came into the League at 18-years-old. I didn't have a lot of experience in training the right way. I probably came into the league at 175 pounds; now I'm 190 ... It's all about training the right way and training for my needs.
From my own personal experience, I can tell you that things I achieved in the J2 league meant a lot to me.
The way a top team develops means that once you have won the league title, the natural step is to try to win the Champions League.
The Champions League is massive. I've had so much experience. I'm only 23, and yet I've played so much in the Champions League, and not many players my age would have had that experience.
I've been with clubs who won the league championships in Holland and England, which was brilliant, and to win the Champions League with Manchester United was an amazing experience.
I had 11 years of managerial experience and four years of coaching before I managed a big-league team. To me, it was important, because I learned a lot through trial and error. And it's tough to have to go through trial and error when you're a big-league manager.
I'm oftentimes asked, What difference does it make to America if people are dying of malaria in a place like Ghana? It means a lot. It means a lot morally, it means a lot from a -- it's in our national interest.
In my first year, I won the Premier League, and two cups after that, so I learned a lot from my experience in England, and I think it was all positive.
Ancelotti is a coach with a lot of experience. He won the Champions League while at Milan, playing some great football in the process.
The Premier League is a wonderful league, the best league in the world, and there are a lot of clubs who overachieve and they overachieve massively. Because of results they get pushed down instead of people scratching the surface and seeing what is really happening.
There's definitely a lot of undiscovered talent in Africa. If I'm one of them and there's a few other guys in the league, that means that there must be some that are hidden.
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.
I had a lot of fun in those days. It was a great experience being in the Eastern Hockey League for the simple reason that you did not have a staff.
