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.
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!
Brøndby is a good municipal brand. Now they just need to become a good football brand.
Virenque is riding. He (Aldag, ed.) stands perfectly still. He stands still as a German tree in the Harz.
My parents have been there for me ever since I was 7 years old.
Everything negative – pressure, challenges – is all an opportunity for me to rise.
I have noticed a very, very talkative Silkeborg player. And all the talk about Silkeborg playing much better football this season than last, is perhaps justified. Instead of kicking the ball 40 yards up the field like they did last season, they kick it just 35 yards forward this season.
Many of the greatest talents are allowed to sloppy for training, and when I see the youth national team play, it strikes me that many of them are very focused on their hairstyles or Italian hair bands.
I start a fire and every time I exercise, I add more fuel. At just the right moment, I strike the match.
All I got from van Looy and his cronies was ridicule, not one piece of help or advice. They were very unfair, I was still just a naive young boy really. With Peugeot, and es[Simpson]pecially with Tom [Simpson], it was completely different.
An ordinary Sunday
Professional soccer is not a social office.
A lot of leaders fail because they don’t have the bravery to touch that nerve or strike that chord.
I think it was a really bad team they had assembled. I could not see what the party monkey and the toad face would help John Faxe Jensen with.
If Per Bjerregaard wants to stop telling untruths about us, we will in turn fail to tell the truth about him.
One man can be crucial to a team, but one man cannot make a whole team.
Ultimately, it is the extra effort that separates the best from the second best. It requires ambition, determination, discipline and a willingness to sacrifice. If you add all this up, and even if you don’t win – how can you lose?
Bitter? No, it’s something we drink.
Sometimes it’s strange being me. I travel the world meeting people, I’m surrounded with friends and my life is full, but all the time I am confronted by a young man I have nothing in common with. He is me, but he is not me now. In fact I have been me now for longer than I was him, but no one wants to know about me.
Trust me, setting things up right from the beginning will avoid a ton of tears and heartache.
We in FCK are always accused of being so damn arrogant, but the fact is that we are not nearly as arrogant as anyone else would have been in our shoes
Shut up legs
Don’t buy upgrades, ride up grades.
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.
I am a trained teacher. But apparently not good at pedagogy
