People talk about pressure in football, but I don't think pressure should always affect you in a bad way. I love games under pressure.

Wojciech Szczesny

Pressure? What pressure? Pressure is poor people in the world trying to feed their families. There is no pressure in football

Jose Mourinho

"Chess has definitely helped me understand a lot of the strategy of football. In chess, good offense is often an exercise in putting multiple points of pressure on one square. In football, offensive play design (particularly passes) involves putting multiple points of pressure on one player." "In chess, you often give your opponent a move that looks strong for him, but it turns into a trap. Football is the same way. I've always thought of defense in football as being totally reactive. But now I understand the ways in which football defenses force the offense to make certain choices."

Reggie Rivers

My whole football life is pressure. If I don't get pressure from outside I put pressure on myself.

Ronald Koeman

I threw up before every single football game I played, and I did so up through my NFL career. It was good pressure. It was pressure to be good. It was pressure to be the best. It was pressure to want to win.

Jim Kelly

I love playing football. So I go out to play football, and I don't really feel pressure. Of course, there are some days when things just don't work out as well as they do on other days, but that doesn't have anything to do with pressure.

Mesut Ozil

Football always has pressure.

Zico

For me pressure is bird flu. I'm serious. I'm feeling a lot of pressure with the problem in Scotland. It's not fun and I'm more scared of it than football. Football is nothing compared with life. For me bird flu is the drama of the last few days. I'll have to buy a mask.

Jose Mourinho

It's always pressure in sport. It was a lot of pressure since Day 1 in Orlando, and it's going to be always pressure, but I think those pressures make us better.

Serge Ibaka

As a kid, I used to see how Sachin Tendulkar used to win matches under pressure for India in Sharjah or other places. So I was always keen to repeat the same in similar situations. I don't take pressure on myself when I am in the middle. I love pressure, and I always believe that pressure makes you more focused.

Virat Kohli

I'm accustomed to pressure. It's what we, as players, live. If you don't want pressure, then football is not for you.

Roberto Firmino

Don't misunderstand,' he said, 'there's pressure with every football game... Sometimes players, coaches, teams put pressure on themselves when they don't have to.

Doug Pederson

Honestly, I don't know the word 'pressure,' because football is my job. I always enjoy it.

Sadio Mane

You always need time to adapt to a new manager. But in football if you don't get a result, you are under pressure.

Michael Ballack

I always had pressure on myself through my life. I put pressure on myself and not from other people. I always wanted to be one of the hottest rappers. So the pressure comes from myself.
