There's a band of studio session - hot players - that play on my albums... They're an eclectic bunch of misfits that I've worked with for years and years.
Playing motivates players.
My four older brothers were my favorite players. That's why I got into football and sports.
A lot of players try to buy penalties, and sometimes defenders can't do a lot about it.
There are good players, there are great players, and there are those few at the pinnacle - the Peles, Cruyffs and Maradonas.
It's great to get recognition from other players.
I'm all for players extending their careers, and I'm all for trying to be as healthy as possible for the playoff run.
I just love poker players.
Whenever there is money, power, and titles involved, players are going to be corrupt. That might be a political statement, but that's what it is for the athletes, too.
I've been fortunate to play with many great players, including Cristiano Ronaldo for Portugal.
We know the transfer market is not an easy period for players, for their minds, for their preparations, too, for their bodies.
Tennis players go into a press conference, and almost every one of them is the same. We do very little differently on a day-to-day basis.
I'm not privy to the English set-up, but at the academies in Ireland, there is a huge focus on the weights room as opposed to whether they can throw a 10-metre pass on the run. They should be rugby players becoming athletes, not athletes becoming rugby players.
I am not going to tolerate players turning up unfit. They are professional athletes representing a country.
My goal is always to qualify, maybe get a couple rounds in, but now I've beaten a couple top players.
It is my job to help the players react better.
Rebuilding has always been one of my specialities from the time I started with young players at Cagliari.
My goal is to outwork everybody in recruiting, sign the best players in the state, and turn these guys into the best team we can.
I don't ever want the players to relax in a game.
Rita Guarino is one of the best technical coaches I have had in my career - often she demonstrates a specific technique and shows the players up!
