A Quote by Philipp Lahm

We practically only practiced fitness under Klinsmann, there was very little technical instruction and the players themselves discussed the way they would play a game before the match.

The way I play, it's very much more a mental game than a physical game. I'm looking for space and where are players leaving space. Defensively, where are we at numerical disadvantages? Do I shift more to the left because they have more players on their right side? It's about reading the game before the game happens.

Becky Sauerbrunn

For a given match, I can only select 18 players and at most 14 would play.

Ali Daei

I didn't think I would have an Olympic medal at 21, but I knew I would give my best and play my game. I just viewed it as my first Olympics and that I would take it one match at a time, but to bring a silver home made me very, very happy.

P. V. Sindhu

There's only one way to play this game since I was a little kid - play fast, play physical, play strong.

Luke Kuechly

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

The only way you can get match fitness is by playing games.

Aaron Ramsey

Performers should realize they not only have to prepare themselves for concert purposes as far as memorizing their programs goes, but for the business of just walking out before the people …. It is important to play before an imaginary audience too. Before I play in public I very often play a program three or four times as though I were seated before a actual audience.

Leonard Rose

In the current FIDE World Championship, on the knock-out system, weaker players have good chances. Those, who in a long match would practically have no chance, here may creep through.

Vladimir Kramnik

Technical players make the game easy. They have a view of the pitch different from other players. They put the last pass for the strikers. They are the players that lose two or three balls in a year.

Manuel Pellegrini

The first task is to get to know the players really well-watching them as individuals in training and in match play-to see what is good in their natural game. Then, and only then, can we begin to outline the general tactics.

Helenio Herrera

The game was different then, when I used to play. The ball ran more than the players and to some extent there was greater technical skill.

Mario Kempes

Ordinarily, players fine-tune their match-fitness during the pre-season.

Sunil Chhetri

I always thought golf was a game reserved for the rich and the elite... But it's a misconception. It's a highly technical game, and it's a game that you can play and master alone. You require sharp skills for it, and you can play the game alone.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui

Before I was going into tournaments and just hoping I would win one match. But now I'll go into tournaments expecting to do well and if I bring my best game I know I can win them and beat all the big players.

Judd Trump

I have a specific routine before every match. I like to grip my rackets, because I feel that someone else won't do it how I like them. But the biggest thing is that I don't like to stress about my match all morning. Twenty minutes before, I'll sit down and think about the game plan and warm up. And then I just play.
