I learned early on as a baby-face you had adapt to their style. Ravishing Rick Rude had his own style and his own way with a little bit of some Ric Flair-isms. But I always learned to adapt myself.
I was 16 and went straight into the reserves. I had to adapt to the language, adapt to a new country, adapt to a style of play, all with new team-mates. All those kind of things were in my head and it was very hard.
We had a chance to see a lot of different styles of play and you had to adapt to the different style each team plays. That?s going to help us come tournament time because the game in the Pac-10 is different from the Big East and we know how to adapt to the different styles. I?m glad I had that opportunity.
I am a player who finds it easy to adapt to the circumstances, and I don't think I would have had a problem adapting to England.
Guardiola has come to City with a very unique style. And he wants to continue that philosophy. We had to work to adapt to his style.
My body has always been one to fluctuate, and I've had to adapt my style accordingly.
English football is very different, and I had to adapt to it much more than I would have had if I had stayed in the Russian league. But after a season, I felt a lot better, a lot fitter.
It would be difficult to say which had seen highest perfection in the other, or which had been the happiest: she, in receiving his declarations and proposals, or he in having them accepted.
When I retired, at that time I had a lot of proposals to play in Europe, England, Italy, Spain, Mexico. But I said no, after 18 years I want to rest, because I want to retire.
If King Harold had had swans on his side, England would still be Saxon.
Had I stayed in England, I would have had to take at least a few acting jobs just for the money.
If the U.K. had new watertight proposals for the border, I don't think anyone in the E.U. would say, 'We don't want to talk about it.'
If Glenn Hoddle had been any other nationality, he would have had 70 or 80 caps for England.
I had no style when I was 17! I look at teenagers now and say, 'I wish I'd looked like them when I was that age.' I had no style whatsoever, but style also wasn't as prominent as it is today. I was just very laid back, usually wearing jeans and tank tops and flip flops.
I liked the Paul Ince and Roy Keane partnership Manchester United had. They would have been my team had I moved to England.
I had to play a certain style to get in the league, but now I want to be a player that stays in the league a long time, and you have to change your game and adapt.
