The captains of the national team are the ones that have played the most matches. That's what I had in the national team. Maximum respect to those players.

Luis Enrique

I've been the captain at Ajax and once for the national team - it's nice and makes you an important player.

Edwin van der Sar

I had nice years at Ajax, wonderful years with Milan, and won something with the national team.

Marco van Basten

I would like Ajax to be people's favourite second team. Like in Spain, if you are a Real Madrid fan, then you can't be a Barcelona supporter. It's the same in Italy. But you can be an Ajax fan.

Edwin van der Sar

I had role models in my community, guys that were older than me and played at university or on the national team. Eli Pasquale was always around UVic when I was a young player, and the national team was around Victoria a little bit, so I got to watch those guys and learn from them.

Steve Nash

It had never been a decision to choose between the French national team or the Senegalese national team because I was growing up in France and playing in the French youth national team, so it was something really normal.

Patrick Vieira

My first dream as a young boy was to be a gymnast and my first memory of football is of watching Ajax win the European Cup in 1971. It was a time when a great philosophy was being developed at Ajax, making rounded players who were there as a complete team rather than as 11 individuals.

Marco van Basten

I played with the youth national team, I played in some CONCACAF games, and it's always physical; it's always intense.

Christian Pulisic

Carlo Ancelotti is a good coach and a good man. I worked with him for just three months at Parma, before I left for Chelsea, although I had worked with him before with the national team. In my first game for the national team I played with him.

Gianfranco Zola

I enjoyed playing for the national team, the French national team, because I think France gave me a lot and gave my family a lot, so to wear the French national team shirt was really good, and I wore it with pride.

Patrick Vieira

I have played on the left for Koln sometimes and the national team; it is not something special.

Lukas Podolski

You cannot compare the way someone plays for a club and for a national team. At a club, you spend every day with the same players. In a national team, you are with your team-mates for only a few days.

Robert Pires

I played for so long with the national team. It was great but it's time for the young guys to play.

Jose Calderon

It's not easy to carry forward the national team because you have a whole country behind you. But I would be willing to take charge of the Argentina national team.

Mario Kempes

I won the title three times with Ajax; I played in the Champions League final and won the league title with Atletico. I have also played in the World Cup.

Toby Alderweireld

The national team has always lent its image to help Italy's problems over the years... The national team is more about uniting than dividing.
