Positional play is good for training, but in games, to win matches, you need someone who can go past defenders and take chances.

When you sign a contract with a club like Barca, that's what you have to cope with. You have to show your face when you've lost games. I knew that when I came into the job.

What I'd most highlight about Leo Messi is his huge sense of responsibility for the team. It shows in every game in every competition.

Ronaldo leaving would seem to have ended the competition between Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo because people rarely mention one without mentioning the other. A lot of people are interested - me, too - to see how it will affect Real Madrid's football and what they might do in the transfer market.

Yes, I love playing football, so it doesn't matter where I play.

I dabbled in football myself until the age of 14, but I didn't have as much love for the sport as I did track and field. I would never have been good enough to take it to the highest level.

Basketball to me is more than a passion or a paycheck - it is the tool I use to try to have an impact in the world.

The movie - any sports movie - becomes a praise song to life here on earth, to physical existence itself, beyond striving, beyond economic necessity.
