Clarence Seedorf

If you're a talented player, and you're 20 years old, you should be playing in the UEFA Champions League or in the elite European teams like AC Milan, Juventus, or Chelsea.

Let's say that the teams I played in were all excellent. I played with many, many great players and incredible teams.

Companies and football teams have become successful precisely because of how diverse they are.

Players must understand that if they go after more lucrative contracts, then they forfeit their chances of playing in the national team.

Of course African teams are underachieving when you think of what their potential is.

Every player can still grow - there is no limit to that. Even when I was 38, I improved myself in certain things, and that is what I will always do with my players to help them get the best out of themselves.

Rijkaard was my idol, but we have different qualities, even if at the beginning we played in the same position.

I'm going to stop playing football after 22 years.

Who does not talk cannot be judged. Who does not shoot the penalty cannot miss.

Winning the Champions League is a very particular feeling, but it's really the journey that makes it special.

I would love to play in the Premier League; which player wouldn't? I am happy at AC Milan, but never say never.

Great moments of entertainment, great football, unforgettable evenings. I think that's what it's all about: experience, emotions, and the special touch that the Champions League brings on and off the field.
