There are so many great players in the Premier League and of course the big teams are always the favourites, but the teams below them also play good football. The mixture of foreign and English players works really well.

Roberto Carlos

I've been watching a whole heap of video footage of different players on different teams and how different players get the football. But the best way I learn is getting out there and playing.

Israel Folau

I've always felt that, in the past, there has been a teacher-pupil relationship between the management and the players. But the best teams are run in such a way that the players have a voice.

Andrew Strauss

I look back to the 1980s and 1990s, when Italian teams dominated Europe. They had maybe three players from abroad, but they were the best players in the world. That was perfect, because there was always the possibility for young Italian players to get in the team.

Gianfranco Zola

When I was a child I had a dream to become a football player. I always played as I played when I was a child. I tried to improve. I never dreamt of becoming a professional football player, I dreamed just to play with the best players in the best team. I never dreamed to be paid to play. I would have paid to play an FA Cup Final in front of 80,000 people in Wembley. I just tried to play the wonderful game that football is. So, I hope young players will still have this dream.

Eric Cantona

I have a tremendous respect to all French Federation of Football football teams, players, and supporters.

David Luiz

Teams want the best players. If the best players come through your academy, you can play.

Jack Wilshere

I think players look around and they look at the teams that they'd like to join and it's usually teams that already have good players on those teams.

Tom Thibodeau

Strong teams are consistent when they have their best players available - you always want a stronger team than the one before.

Andre Villas-Boas

Pep is a modern coach, he's intelligent, brave, likes football and always has the players on his side. He knows a lot about football, but Mourinho's success in all countries where he has been confirms him as the best.

Roberto Carlos

I prefer to play against the best players and the best teams and the best coaches. Never personal.

Jose Mourinho

As the players get younger and younger, and the teams value younger players, the players' best years are when they're being paid the least.

Trevor Bauer

We pretty much have barnburners with every team. There's always new teams, there's always great teams, and you always want to be in the ring with the best.

Cesaro

I know the questions will be around the money, the amount Chelsea had to spend to bring him here but that's the reality of modern football. Big teams only want big players, big players are in big clubs, big clubs want to keep their big players.

Jose Mourinho

Players like Messi and Xavi are always hungry. Whatever the game or the competition - even if it is table-tennis - they want to win. We used to play two-touch football games after training and they would always be desperate to win. It taught you about life as well as football.
