A Quote by Ronaldinho

A lot of the moves I make originate from futsal. It's played in a very small space, and the ball control is different in futsal. And to this day my ball control is pretty similar to a futsal player's control.

I played futsal growing up in Baurd. In futsal you need to think quick and play quick so its easier for you when you move to normal football.

Pele

In futsal, you see whether a player is really talented. You notice the small details in quality, class and tactical understanding.

Xavi

Rushing the ball is all about ball control. If you run the ball, you control the clock. If you control the clock, you usually control the game.

Tiki Barber

I was always making decisions and they were easier decisions because I had control of the game, I had control of the ball. As a coach you sort of put the ball in other player's hands and let them make decisions for you. But I still get a kick out of winning basketball games and that's what I'm in this for.

Larry Bird

I started playing futsal in the favela because it was the closest pitch to where we lived. I think it was good for me, playing in a small space like that. You have to think and act quickly.

Philippe Coutinho

With Bayern, we want a lot of ball possession and to control the play, so I operate sometimes like the 11th outfield player. Thus I am included a lot into the build-up play and have a lot of touches of the ball.

Manuel Neuer

I hit the ball really well... had a lot of good looks at birdie all day, it's firm but you could control your golf ball, for sure. Today I controlled my ball very well. The confidence is definitely there. I feel really good about where I'm at and going into tomorrow.

Dustin Johnson

The transition from football to futsal is very difficult, as this is a shorter and faster version. We have no time to think, but I'm trying to adapt the best I can.

Cafu

I think kids should be doing pickup or futsal all the time.

Claudio Reyna

I think all children like futsal. Making quick decisions, moving fast when you're in difficulties on the pitch; it teaches you a lot. I'm passionate about this sport.

Douglas Costa

Set goals for things you can control. In my case, I can't control the marks from the judges, but I can control how I train every day, and I can control my performance.

Claire Carver-Dias

When I can control the ball off the first shot after serve and return, especially with my forehand, that's when I'm in control most matches.

Ashleigh Barty

If you control the food, you control a nation. If you control the energy, you control a region. If you control the money, you control the world.

Henry A. Kissinger

The curve and the fast one are important; the change of pace and the other trick deliveries are great but they're not worth a plugged nickel unless you have control to go along with them. And by control I don't mean the ability to put the ball over the plate somewhere between the shoulders and knees. I mean the ability to hit a three-inch target nine times out of ten, the sort of control that lets you put the ball in the exact spot you want it, and to play a corner to the split fraction of an inch.

Babe Ruth

I have played as a goalkeeper since I was six but I always worked on my ball skills, playing with my foot, knowing how to control the ball, how to pass. But the main thing is to save goals.

Claudio Bravo

Great clubs have had one thing in common throughout history, regardless of era and tactics. They owned the pitch and they owned the ball. That means when you have the ball, you dictate play and when you are defending, you control the space
