I have grown up as a player watching many champions like Pirlo and Xavi. I have watched them and tried to learn from how they do things.

Jorginho

Messi has a unique talent, he plays alongside quality players like Xavi and Andres Iniesta. Cristiano is also a great player.

Raul

Xavi is a super player, but along with that, he likes being with his family.

Marco van Basten

Being compared to such a player like Pirlo, a guy who has won everything in his career, that's very important for me. I'm very happy to be compared to Andrea.

Marco Verratti

It's great to be compared to a great player like Tracy McGrady, but I think I'm my own type of player. I'm 6'10" and a bit bigger than he is as a player. I also think I'm a bit different and play a different position. He's more of a guard, and I can play all around through five.

Ben Simmons

Xavi has won the Champions League three times, the European Championship twice and the World Cup. He's a real football player, a man who focuses on his football, hard work and training instead of the glamour, and that is why he has stayed at such a high level for so long.

Marco van Basten

To be playing against people like Xavi and Iniesta is brilliant.

Jack Wilshere

I learned and played with the very best like Messi, Xavi and Iniesta.

Bojan Krkic

Once people start making comparisons to a player of the past, they want you to be that player. I try to go out there and create my own image, my own style, my own type of game. Right now I can't even think of one guy I've been compared to.

Paul Pierce

Xavi was a big idol in my youth because he was smart in his head. He was not the biggest player because of his body length, but he was one of the greatest players because he was always smart in his mind. He had really good technique.

Joshua Kimmich

When I talk about the pleasure principle, I don't say there is only one kind of pleasure, there are many kinds of pleasure. Some pleasure is difficult. It should be for the reader as well as the writer. But it has to be pleasure.

Martin Amis

It's brilliant to be compared with such a player as Rio Ferdinand.

Jack Rodwell

Is it a good hot dog? That’s all I want to know … I don’t think the personal health and purity of my colon is that important compared to pleasure. As a chef, I’m not your dietitian or your ethicist. I’m in the pleasure business …. My responsibility is to give you the most delicious tomato that I can afford, given the circumstances, and maybe increase the likelihood that you get laid after dinner.
