I'm not a religious person, so I just hold on to my self-belief and the belief in my players' talents.

I played with some outstanding players.

I'm a wicked ping-pong player.

You can't sideline players who can take a good helping for themselves in the Power Plays.

As players, you never make one trophy a priority.

As a young player, you can't always have positives.

Players have to let themselves be helped.

It is up to the players and their advisers to see what is best for the player.

India has given too much emphasis on players' records than on the actual performance of the team.

From the time when I started out, the best players around then were Roberto Baggio and Ryan Giggs.

For players to perform near their best every week is commendable.

For me, there are no 'between players' in football. For me, there are clear positions and clear characteristics for all players.

I just think, obviously as players, we're held to a higher standard. I've had to watch myself on that, but I think if we're held to higher standards, the owners should be held to even higher standards.

The likes of Frank Lampard and John Terry at Chelsea, English players with proper status at a club, they're going to be like the dodo bird. Extinct.

There are a lot of players competing for that wide attacking role, and if I'm brutally honest, if you aren't playing regularly, you can't get picked. I found that out, missing out on the World Cup.

Many players in the French squad play in the Premier League or have played in the Premier League, so I knew about the level.

Luis Suarez is one of the best players in the national team - and in the world, in fact.

I found out early in life that I could hit a baseball farther than most players, and that's what I tried to do.

Spain is such a competitive league, and for the players to give up La Liga, it's such a tough decision.

It's brilliant to be compared with such a player as Rio Ferdinand.
