A Quote by Lukas Podolski

When you are a footballer, you will not always play 90 minutes. Sometimes you are not happy, but this is not important for me.

I train all week just to play for 90 minutes. I love playing games, and so during those 90 minutes, it's always 100 per cent.

Diego Costa

Being a winger or a wide mid, I have to run continuously for 90 minutes, which not only takes endurance but also strength in my legs to be able to be explosive for 90 minutes. I think weight training has really allowed me to sustain for those 90 minutes.

Megan Rapinoe

Would you rather suffer 90 minutes or 90 years? (Regarding a Bikram Yoga session that takes exactly 90 minutes.)

Bikram Choudhury

I always want to play the 90 minutes.

Richarlison

If I come on for 10 minutes and play well, I can't go home and tell everyone, 'I played a great 10 minutes.' I have to play the full 90.

Lukas Podolski

The truth is I would always like to play 90 minutes, do it in every game.

Raul Jimenez

English footballers are honest - they will run for 90-odd minutes - but that is not always what you need. Sometimes you need to rein back a bit and try and control the game with your passing.

Kyle Walker

These days, I'm always trying to have lots of touches, to be involved, and to play my football for 90 minutes.

Eden Hazard

It gives me a lot of confidence to play with my feet, and I have to be focused for 90 minutes.

Alisson

Sometimes you'll go up against keepers like Casillas - the 'penalty killer,' as many of us call him. Other times, there's that one defender that, for 90 minutes, just destroys you. There is one in particular who will always stand out in my mind. Nemanja Vidic.

Mario Gomez

The worst job I ever had was as a telemarketer for, oh, I don't know, I think I made it about 90 minutes. I quit before lunch. I went in around 10:30 or 11 and said, 'I can't do this.' It was horrific. I had too many people yell at me within that 90 minutes to be able to continue.

Rich Sommer

This was football played at the speed of ice hockey and the ball was in play for only 53 minutes of the 90. The Premiership at its highest level is enthralling, edge-of-the-seat stuff, but sometimes it is too fast and frenetic for its own good.

Daniel Taylor

Sometimes you have faced no shots during 90 minutes, and in minute 91, there is a shot. You always need to be focused, concentrated, and this is what makes you tired, being so focused.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

Money is not a motivating factor. Money doesn't thrill me or make me play better because there are benefits to being wealthy. I'm just happy with a ball at my feet. My motivation comes from playing the game I love. If I wasn't paid to be a professional footballer I would willingly play for nothing.
