A Quote by Vince Lombardi

I'll put the Packers' best players on defense. It's best for a team and good for its morale. — © Vince Lombardi
I'll put the Packers' best players on defense. It's best for a team and good for its morale.
They never talked about my defense. But every coach I've played for, I make them say 'Oh, I didn't know about your defense. We're going to put you on the best players. And the other team thinks that you're not good, so they're going to attack you. But we love that.'
To this day I am not convinced of having brought together with me in Germany the technically best players that could have been. But I was firmly convinced I called the ones that could create a team, and they could play with one another to the best of their possibility. In this day and age you win if you become a team. It doesn't necessarily mean that you've got to have the best football players in the country. It's possible that the best, all together, don't become a team. It's like a mosaic, you have to put all the pieces together.
When your great players are team players, everybody else follows their lead. The best team doesn't always win - it's usually the team that gets along best.
I had very good players around me in the team, like in the German national team. Andreas Brehme was one of my best partners in the team because he had good eyes; he could always hit the best ball.
Sometimes players aren't playing where they feel or play best, but they must put their all into what's best for the team.
You put together the best team that you can with the players you've got, and replace those who aren't good enough.
Goal of mine is to make first team All-Defense. The way you do that is guarding the best players.
Individual players don't win titles no matter how good you are as a player. The best players in the world need a team around them. It is about the team, and we are playing for the badge.
Friends ask me to pick the best 11 players, but sometimes the best 11 players are not the best team. So it's something that you have to work together.
If I were a high school coach, I would put my best players on offense. The best athletes on my team, I would give them the ball and score points. I wouldn't play them on defense. I would play them where they can get the ball and score points.
We have to put the best team to offer a secure alternative to Singaporeans - let me stress, the best team, not the best individuals... The party must comprise members who work with others and not march to their own drumbeat.
You have to give it to the Packers. They are a good team. They have a great offense and a great defense.
On paper we might be the best team in the league. We’ve got great players on this team who accomplished so much. We just couldn’t put it together.
It is good for the morale of the team when you see top players being brought in.
It's hard to be as good as Ronaldinho and Ronaldo were, but we're going to do our best, both myself and Philippe Coutinho, to get close to them and be the best players we can be for the Brazilian national team.
In sport, you only see the fighter, but it's teamwork. Without a good team, you will never be the best. In boxing, you have to work with the best coach, the best lawyer, the best manager, the best doctor. Exactly the same principle applies in politics.
