A Quote by Roberto Firmino

Without a doubt, German football, where I've played for nearly five years, is very similar - maybe just a little less tough than English football.

More than anything tough, I play 'Madden'. I'm a football guy at heart; maybe I should have played football for a living instead, because I play a lot of football videogames. I'm really into them.

Jason Kidd

It's very tough in the U.K. For me, it was totally different. English football and French football are not the same.

Robert Pires

When I was three or four, only football was in my head. I went 10 years, and nothing changed - only football, football, football. The strange thing is, nobody played football in my family before.

Sadio Mane

I do have a son. He's out of school now. He never played football. And it had nothing to do with me. I was actually crushed that he didn't play football. I thought, 'Oh my God, this is awful.' My brothers all played football. My dad played football.

Ann McKee

Football is not played on paper, it is played on a pitch. This game is not mathematics and in football, two plus two very rarely equals four - it's usually three or five.

Leo Beenhakker

It's not like I played my first football match in England. For me, football is pretty much the same everywhere; the ball is round, but maybe tactically, things are different than at other clubs I've played for.

Granit Xhaka

German football is like English football. The Germans and the English do not play like a Brazilian side. They have to improve, bring up their young players, who have character.

Franz Beckenbauer

I'm a football guy at heart; maybe I should have played football for a living instead, because I play a lot of football videogames; I'm really into them.

Jason Kidd

I'm a football guy at heart; maybe I should have played football for a living instead, because I play a lot of football videogames, I'm really into them.

Jason Kidd

I was adapted to European football after playing in Germany for three years, but English football is very different to the Bundesliga.

Roberto Firmino

Behind every footballing tough guy there lurks a mincing aesthete with a love of art for art's sake, football for football's sake. A win without art is somehow less than a victory; less, almost, than a beautiful defeat. In football, the romantic and the pragmatist are ever at war in the same breast. Beauty, it must be understood here, is not Barcelona's aim but their method. And last night they were ready to use this method at every opportunity - quick-fire passing of wit and purpose in the danger areas, seeking always to produce an unlooked-for player in a position of threat.

Simon Barnes

English football is very physical, much more so than Spanish football - I felt it in the first match.

Aymeric Laporte

I played English football - soccer - instead of American football, because we couldn't afford the equipment.

Wally Schirra

I played for Middlesbrough's youth team. At the age of 16, I went into a shed at the training ground and was told that they weren't signing me on, so that was the end of that dream. Football was my life. I played football when I got to school, football every break and football as soon as I got home.
