You need two or three players who can do that - play behind the striker, on the right wing, the left wing... striker, maybe. If we have those, it's good for the team.

Roberto Mancini

I've always been a pretty good ball-striker, I've relied on my ball-striking in my whole career, my athletic ability. But the short game and putting has kind of held me back in majors.

Gary Woodland

You will never run more than the ball. The players that don't lose the ball are the most important in the team, and good players decide the game.

Manuel Pellegrini

I love playing team ball, but that doesn't happen when most players are in the last year of their deals.

Lorenzen Wright

I guess more players lick themselves that are ever licked by an opposing team. The first thing any man has to know is how to handle himself.

Connie Mack

From my point of view, it is not the coach who becomes world champion, it is a team. Not just the players who played, but the whole squad, and also the team behind the team. Because if you want to achieve success, the whole team has to work perfectly, like a machine, and all the pieces of the puzzle need to fit together into one picture.

Joachim Low

In every team, there are players that don't seem important, but in the end, they prove to be one of the most important players. These players are quiet but can play in every position. They help the manager and their team-mates and are always available. They fight for every ball.

Roberto Mancini

I believe the most important thing for the defender is to take the ball away from the opposing team, no matter what, and not to allow any space or give any occasions for opponents to score goals.

Giorgio Chiellini

There are so many good players in the NBA, and I just want to be at the top of the talent pool. I want opposing coaches and players to fear me.

Ray Allen

When you are a striker, you need to give a lot of effort for the team, to keep the opponent under pressure, to press them, to win the ball fast - that's what I try to do to help the team. After that, I try to make some goals.

Olivier Giroud

When we have the ball, the other team has to run. The most important thing is for the players to be prepared to be a little bit wild.

Jurgen Klopp

It all goes back to the players putting everything out on the pitch. They commit to the game, so the support gets behind them straight away. They don't see half-hearted performances, they don't see people that are not running around. They see players competing, putting in the effort and enthusiasm.

Chris Wilder

I still believe I can be a striker but, if you want to be a striker, you have to think more about yourself and that's why you are a striker.

Ryan Babel

My second year in Rome was very good. Back then, a striker was a striker. Strikers scored goals; they didn't defend. Today this is normal, but it wasn't at that time. If you wanted to play my style of football you couldn't have old players or famous players who were unwilling to do the job both ways: attacking and also defending.

Sven-Goran Eriksson

Everyone wants to be known as a great striker of the ball for some reason. Nobody wants to be called a lucky, one-putting s.o.b.

Gary Player

Nonviolence as a lifestyle and perpetual strategy will allow us to be on the offense instead of continually on the defense. We will be able to move the ball down the field with team decisions and playmaking versus constantly thinking about how the opposing forces are moving the ball.
