I don’t believe in motivating a team. I believe in preparing a team so that they know that they have the necessary confidence when they go on the pitch – and are therefore prepared to play a good game.
When I get in the ring, I have no sympathy for my opponent. I am there to win.
They are the second best team in the world and there is no greater praise than this.
The top of it all is then, I really wished him (Solbakken, ed.) To get that victory goal made and piss on those farmers. And I want to be allowed to say “piss on those farmers” because those spectators do not deserve another name.
Football is a fairly simple sport. 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes and in the end the Germans win!
There are some who claim that football is a matter of life and death. It’s an attitude that disappoints me. I can assure you that football is much more than that!
One must have a big nose to be able to smell something.
We just have to go out and shout as loud as we can

Now they just have to stop coming up with all sorts of weird ideas. You do not know what the next thing they think we should do is. Whether we’re going to run through fire or something. I sat and thought a bit about an idea one could give to them. Maybe the day after tomorrow or in a few days, they will do a stage where we do not know when there are goals. They say it is between 1 cm. and 300 km. and then all of a sudden it’s some man with a flag – maybe a dwarf. And then the stage is over.
If you train hard, you not only become hard yourself, you also become hard to overcome.
Sports are such a great teacher. I think of everything they’ve taught me: camaraderie, humility, how to resolve differences.
Pain is temporary. Quitting lasts forever.
There are too many factors you have to take into account that you have no control over. The most important factor you can keep in your own hands is yourself. I always placed the greatest emphasis on that.
It’s not over until it’s over.
Whoever said “it’s not just about winning” probably said it after losing.
Today you can just show bare ass for ten seconds on TV, then you are world famous in Denmark. 25 years ago, it required much more starquality.
If you can’t outplay them, you have to outfight them.
