I've always said the players don't build up rivalries themselves, people from the outside build up the rivalries. I just want to play good golf. I want to try and keep winning golf tournaments.
A club like ours loses £8-10m every year to be competitive, and nobody wants to keep a business that is losing money every year.
When will the first manager manage at a professional level having learned his trade on 'FIFA 16,' '17,' or '18?' I've watched my grandson on it, I've watched him buy players and sell them to get to the top of the league and it's teaching him how to manage. The knowledge base that they build up would be very interesting down the line.
I always had to keep improving my skills in order to remain competitive and keep winning.
Winning one league title at Roma, to me, is worth winning 10 at Juventus or Real Madrid.

As someone who's very competitive, I'm someone who abhors losing more than I enjoy winning. In that regard, it hasn't been a great two months, but I think our players' attitude remains pretty resolute.
When I see players like Mike Trout, Bryce Harper, Robinson Cano, and Miguel Cabrera, I see they have a good season, but they also jump up the next year and do it over and over again. I want to be one of those players that do it every year.
There are people, coaches, and players who fit in certain places. All players don't fit into all teams, and not every manager can manage every team.
The main aim of pre-season is to get ready for the competitive games and go into those in the best possible fashion on group and individual levels.
If there is one thing that all players have in common it is that winning, competitive gene; the ability to overcome obstacles and fight for what you want from your career.
I have to keep working, keep getting stronger, keep shooting - every day, every day, to get better. That's how great players become great players.
I feel that teams with players who are very close end up winning.
Obviously in the NBA, winning is everything; every NBA player will tell you when you are in a winning situation that's what this league is about. That one year in Phoenix when we went to the Western Conference finals was amazing; Portland when we got to the second round was a great year.
Definitely inspired to keep on grinding, keep on going, keep on doing what we do every single year: Win games and put up numbers.
If you want to take it up a step and aim to become a competitive gymnast, you have to be mentally strong and prepared to take on the workload of going to the gym every day, rain or shine.
