There's no point in playing underage football until you are 23. You've got to be able to play in games, cope in men's football and that almost certainly means that you have to go to the lower leagues.

Matt Doherty

Without sounding biased, 70 days of football is not enough. Even if Messi plays 70 days he cannot be in the national team. You need to play around the year to be in contention for the national team.

Sunil Chhetri

The situation was, the team I was on when I got injured went down to the lower leagues. In America, they don't have that relegation, so when the team went down to the lower region, every player has his value, and they went off and sold any player who had value.

Claudio Reyna

When you've played reserve team football in front of 50 people, then you play at White Hart Lane with five or six of the same lads - it's hard to describe what that feels like.

Ryan Mason

I see football as a bit like a stairway, and you have to climb it bit by bit. First, you have to play good football so that you get to play for a good team. Then, hopefully you achieve such a level that you are invited to play for your national side, in time for a World Cup, if possible.

Philippe Coutinho

It's tough for us to hear that Barca and the national team are boring to watch. Supposedly, we play attractive football, one-touch football, which is what people want to see.

Pedro

Athletes at all ages are bigger and stronger than ever before. And they are being encouraged - sometimes even incentivized, as we recently learned was the case on at least one National Football League team - to play to injure.

Naveen Jain

I was lucky enough to play for the top three Italian clubs during the golden era of Italian football, so I have no regrets.

Andrea Pirlo

I've been lucky enough to play for the Spanish national team and Barcelona, two sides who've shown that you can play good, attractive possession football and win major titles.

Carles Puyol

Regions' role in detecting and developing a raw talent is no secret, as they work so hard to produce top class players who go on to represent departments, then national team, and also play in different leagues of the world.

Babar Azam

Playing against an Italian team is harder than all the other leagues. The Italians won't score lots of goals, but they won't concede many, either.

Paul Pogba

It's not easy, especially for a German national team player who did great things in the past and maybe is struggling. That's why I think most of the German national team play abroad because if you don't play for Bayern Munich and you don't always win, it's difficult.

Andre Schurrle

Asian players have more in common with the Bundesliga than with Italian or Spanish leagues because they are wedded to the team cause, are hard-working and disciplined.

Lothar Matthaus

If you speak to girls who play football alongside lads, they'll tell you that you almost have to earn the right to play with them. It's annoying that you have to do that, but once you've done it, the barriers are down.

Karen Bardsley

Of course the Premier League is the most difficult league in the world because it's so even. I think you can't really compare other leagues with the Premier League. In the Premier League, every team can beat every team, and in football, that's something where you can have surprises.

Mesut Ozil

All religions, they play football - even nowadays all girls and women have the right to play football in cultures like the Arabic countries in the Muslim they play football.

Sepp Blatter
