A Quote by Phil Jones

It always helps to play every game at the back with the same players. You get a good understanding of each other and how one of you works, and what positions to take up.

I think we're really good about pushing each other in practice and we have high tempo and I feel like we have some of the best players in the world so just competing against one another and getting in there and pushing each other around and getting ready for that physical style of game coming up, we have to play hard and pretend it's a game.

Cherie Piper

There's a lot of money coming in, and so a lot of good players are going to each team, so every game is a fight, but on the other hand, it's good to get a good, competitive league.

Kevin De Bruyne

I always like the players to be within 10 to 15 metres of each other. When the attacking players try what I am asking them to do, and it breaks down, there are players close enough to then go and win the ball back and counter press the game.

Brendan Rodgers

I cannot speak for other players, but it is always good when the manager comes to ask how you're feeling and makes you feel calm before you play the game.

Dimitar Berbatov

Of course, I want to play every game but you have to accept rotations and understand that other players are in good form. Football's a team game.

Pedro

When you get the first knock, it kind of wakes you up: you know, they are men, and it is not like Under-18s when you can take loads of knocks and know you will be fine, that you won't feel anything after the game. You definitely get harder knocks, but it helps. You just get up and get on with the game, and then you can give it to them back.

Marcus Rashford

We used to look at each other and say, 'We play the same game with the same rules, the same bat, the same ball, the same field. What the hell does color have to do with it? You don't play with color. You play with talent.'

Monte Irvin

I always try to take from past performances. You never try to get too high or too low. Just play every game, just treat every game like it's the same.

Derek Jeter

You don't take anything for granted when you play in the European game because it's so different, sizing each other up takes a game.

Emma Hayes

Starting in middle school, I would play on two or three baseball teams at the same time, because that's just how things worked in south Florida. I would practice six or seven days each week. I honestly don't know how my parents did it, but my dad always found a way to make it to each and every game.

J. D. Martinez

I think the person I learnt the most from as a coach was Cruyff because he was always talking about tactics - how to play, where to play and when to play. I think that helps a lot of young players, which is good. He was the most important trainer for me.

Marco van Basten

I know how the game works. If I field one, then the other complains. It's always the same.

Niko Kovac

I always speak with all the players during the week before every game we play, because it's important for them to know what I think and for me to see how they are before the game.

Manuel Pellegrini

Recruiting is always a snow-ball effect because when you get really good players and they like it, the other players want to play with them.

Mack Brown

Always, I'm a competitor. Growing up, it's the same thing. I always wanted to compete and show how good I am. I did it in college to get the No. 1 pick, and now that I'm here, I'm going to keep getting better to prove I'm one of the best guards and players in the league. It's a long, slow grind, so I'm just taking my time every day.
