It feels a little bit odd to me that you have some guys that have never lived in the United States that play for the United States because they were able to secure a passport. To me, that just feels like they weren't able to make it for their country and earn a living, so they're coming here.
The way the Premier League is now we have a lot of foreign players. A lot of very good foreign players.
When our players come from somewhere else, they sometimes show happiness when the game is 0-0 or 1-1, but we were brought up in an environment where we have to win. We are not satisfied with 0-0 or 1-1. This is the mentality of Bayern Munich.
Foreign players is what makes golf so popular now.
I think sometimes managers like to buy players because they're more experienced from abroad or when they've got players under their nose that will give everything to the club they've been brought up with.
I have only been here since 1996 but between 1966 and 1996 England had thirty years without foreign players and didn't win any more competitions in that time.
If you seriously aspire to be a manager in the big leagues, there is a baseball 'book' that one must learn. Alongside that book, you must practice Spanish. Of 25 players on each roster, sometimes there are between eight and 15 players who speak Spanish.
The American attitude is 'We're the best'. That's why the NBA guys who come from other countries, the Europeans, all sort of stick together away from the game.
The foreign players seem to be reveling in the European games and they've put in some massive performances for us. (on Liverpool)
I've never seen anything like it since. Some of the Canada Cups came close, but by then a lot of European players came and played in our league so we were more familiar with them.
There are many good players, in Italy and abroad.
Foreign players are great for Serie A if they add something extra, but a lot of them are superfluous.
I've been told by many people that a lot of overseas players come into the Premier League, and they take time to integrate, depending on the circumstances.
The foreign players have arrived in India to give our contribution in order to improve the Indian League, to make it more smart, more well-known, more open, and also to prove our quality along with Indian players.
I think it's a good match, Dutch players playing in England.
English football is in a bad way because the foreign players here are so good, so dominant.
Nowadays there are too many players who can't get a contract elsewhere, who come to England and just take the money.
Everybody respected my choice to join the ISL. I was the one to decide to come to India and then many other foreign players decided to do the same.
When a Brazilian player comes to England and is successful, he ends up opening doors to other players.
It's great to be able to bring the best players from other countries and that they want to play in our league.
In Dortmund we had many players from abroad and when you want to put your thoughts in their heads, for example with Pierre-Emerick, you had to switch to English, which is the language most players understand.
I think the difference with Japan was that they didn't bring in too many foreign players. In my opinion at the ISL it's not too good to have too many foreigners playing. The minimum of five Indian players is too less in my opinion. Since it's the ISL, we have to encourage more Indian football.
The relationship between France and its 'foreign' players - blacks and North African Arabs - has always been troubled, particularly with Algerians.
People don't even know how hard it is to play in China. People think it is easy for the foreign players, but it is really not. It's difficult.
I'm sure players in Europe would like to play in MLS, but you maybe have to change some little things to make it more attractive for the players in Europe.
