A Quote by Marcello Lippi

To this day I am not convinced of having brought together with me in Germany the technically best players that could have been. But I was firmly convinced I called the ones that could create a team, and they could play with one another to the best of their possibility. In this day and age you win if you become a team. It doesn't necessarily mean that you've got to have the best football players in the country. It's possible that the best, all together, don't become a team. It's like a mosaic, you have to put all the pieces together.

On paper we might be the best team in the league. We’ve got great players on this team who accomplished so much. We just couldn’t put it together.

Amar'e Stoudemire

When your great players are team players, everybody else follows their lead. The best team doesn't always win - it's usually the team that gets along best.

John C. Maxwell

Friends ask me to pick the best 11 players, but sometimes the best 11 players are not the best team. So it's something that you have to work together.

Ivan Rakitic

Sometimes in football, the best team does not necessarily win; it's the team that plays best on the day that prevails.

Chris Coleman

I had very good players around me in the team, like in the German national team. Andreas Brehme was one of my best partners in the team because he had good eyes; he could always hit the best ball.

Lothar Matthaus

Talent is extremely important. It's like a sports team, the team that has the best individual player will often win, but then there’s a multiplier from how those players work together and the strategy they employ.

Elon Musk

Football's about the young players, bringing youth team players through to the first team and hopefully getting the best out of them so they can go on to play for their country.

Wayne Rooney

You put together the best team that you can with the players you've got, and replace those who aren't good enough.

Robert Crandall

A team may have some great players, but typically, the team that works best together does the best. I look at running Broadcom in the same way. We have a culture where people have different skill sets, but they are happy to leverage their skills to help others and to help the company.

Henry Samueli

I came from my hometown team, Real Sociedad, to the best team in England, to the best team in Spain, to the best team in Germany.

Xabi Alonso

Football isn't necessarily won by the best players. It's won by the team with the best attitude.

George Allen

On a good team there are no superstars. There are great players who show they are great players by being able to play with others as a team. They have the ability to be superstars, but if they fit into a good team, they make sacrifices, they do things necessary to help the team win. What the numbers are in salaries or statistics don't matter; how they play together does.

Red Holzman

The A's were a team with very few resources. We didn't have access to players who were obviously great, who could do it all and were always in the headlines. We couldn't afford those types of players. So we had to figure out a way of cobbling together players into a team that might be competitive.

Paul DePodesta

The thing it taught me was that winning's a helluva lot more fun than losing. It also taught me that the team with the best players that worked together the best wins.

Jack Welch

The team with the best athletes doesn't usually win. It's the team with the athletes who play best together.

Lisa Fernandez

For me, trying to connect our team together is so important. I know we'll play really well when our team gets really tight. So I want to make sure I connect with the players so that I can help them be at their best.
