I was lucky to see Di Stefano, on the pitch, in person. He was a winner, as is Raul.
RIP Sir Alfredo Di Stefano. I will never forget each of the shared moments with such a football legend.
I can be a new Di Stefano, but I can't be a new Pelé. He is the one that goes beyond the limits of logic.
Any open net was an unforgivable crime meriting immediate punishment, and [Di Stefano] carried out the sentence by stabbing at it like a mischievous elf.
Alfredo Di Stéfano was the greatest footballer of all time - far better even than Pelé. He was, simultaneously, the anchor in defence, the playmaker in midfield, and the most dangerous marksman in attack.
Two things help me be a winner. One is I try to stay on an even keel. I don't get too high or too low. Two is I do a lot of visualization. I never see a bad pitch. I always see a good one.
If you see yourself as a winner, you're going to be a winner, you're going to make sure you become a winner. If you see yourself as fearless, you'll be fearless. I think that goes far, not just in football but in everything.
Critics have always questioned whether players like Pele from the 50s could play today. Lionel Messi could play in the 1950s and the present day, as could Di Stefano, Pele, Maradona, Cruyff because they are all great players. Lionel Messi without question fits into that category.
I've always been shy; it's just that I transform on the pitch. I'm a different person. Off the pitch, I'm another person. That's how it has to be.
La di da di, we likes to party We don't cause trouble, we don't bother nobody.
The real Pogba is the one you see every time. You know, when I'm on the pitch, I cannot act. I'm not an actor. So when I'm in the pitch, I like to joke and laugh, and outside the pitch, I'm the same. For me, I'm normal. I come and play football. I do what I love.
If you don't see yourself as a winner, then you cannot perform as a winner.
If you're a person and care about other people - I don't think I have any sort of special understanding or anything, I think any feeling person would experience similar things if given the same opportunities to see the things I've been lucky enough to see and meet the people I've been lucky enough to meet.
I am a simple person, I try to do my best on the pitch and do nothing wrong both on and off the pitch.
I'm star-struck when I see Paul Scholes because you never see him. On the pitch you can't catch him. Off the pitch he disappears.
My point is, if we respect the winner and approach that person, have access to that person and that person will look at what we are presenting, that is not too bad.
Sometimes things are said on the pitch that people won't see at home. There's a bit of banter on the pitch as well.
