A lot of teams who go on to win trophies lose in quarter-finals or semi-finals first. ”

In a team, you need players who are technically good and can perform under pressure. ”

My kids don't think, for one minute, about where people are born, what language they speak, what colour they are. There's an innocence about young people that is only influenced by older people. ”

If we are encouraging kids to go into academies, then presumably we are selling them the dream that they can play first-team football. ”

In the end, success in a shoot-out is being able to perform a particular skill under pressure. ”

You can never say you've 'made it,' because that's the day you stop progressing and improving. ”
