A Quote by Ruud van Nistelrooy

If I don't get the service or if I don't the ball in the box, where I want it, I start drifting into midfield. I go and look for the ball. I try to be important for the team in other areas.

When we have to defend, I just try to recover the ball for the team because it's important, but I always try to go forward when we have the ball.

N'Golo Kante

What I want is to recover the ball as near to the other box as we can, and when we have the ball, play.

Manuel Pellegrini

I experienced that the ball is the most important thing. When you have the ball, the other team really can't do anything.

Alphonso Davies

I felt, you know, coming from Philadelphia, the image they put out of me, I think I had three years to go out there and prove to everybody that no, he's not that type of guy. He's a team guy. He loves to obviously get the ball - what receiver do you know, or do you want, on your team that don't want to get the ball?

DeSean Jackson

Sometimes in midfield, it's nice because you do get a little bit more of the ball, and maybe out wide you rely on people to get you the ball.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

I often felt as a player in a 4-4-2, you end up being outnumbered in midfield and chasing the ball, so as a manager I liked wingbacks to push forward; it gives the midfield player on the ball three or four options.

Glenn Hoddle

The fun part of golf is the variety of shots. In football you can do anything with a ball, but you can do anything with a golf ball as well. When you hit a shot and the ball does exactly what you want it to do ... that's wonderful. It's just great when you hit the ball well. You should always try not to make the ball cry.

Johan Cruijff

Look at KD and Kyrie, and they're going to be ball-dominant. You've got to really recognize that and get the ball where it needs to go.

Spencer Dinwiddie

I want the ball for 90 minutes. When I don't have the ball, I go high pressing because I want the ball.

Pep Guardiola

You can go bang a ball against a wall all you want, but how do you become a better team player? By playing other team sports.

Dom Starsia

I don't want a new ball when I am bowling in the subcontinent. I want an old ball that can't get hit out of the ground. I want a ball that when I bowl doesn't have true bounce, so that the batsman can't hit it.

Dale Steyn

If I'm not going to make the pitch, then so be it. I'm not going to try to manipulate the ball or muscle the ball over the plate where I want it to go.

Gerrit Cole

I feel like I'm strong enough that I don't have to do anything to turn on the ball. When I do that-when I'm ready to take the ball up the middle, when I'm willing to go the other way-that's when I can turn on the ball.

Justin Morneau

If you look at Dele, he does everything. He wants the ball into feet. Sometimes he'll run in behind; sometimes he'll get the ball in the box - he's all energy. He does everything.

Jack Grealish

I played on an all-boys team in the 8th grade, but they wouldnt throw me the ball even though I was on their team. One day I stole the ball from my own teammate and I made a basket. From that point on, everyone yelled Give the ball to the girl! I was the only girl on the whole league!
