I'm a big fan of General Douglas MacArthur and General George Patton.We have a few generals that have been so incredible to me. Now we have 200.
Scholes is undoubtedly the best midfielder of his generation.
Nothing can compare with the untiring activity of that leader. His fearlessness and his talents entitle him to his place at the head of the revolution and of the war; but he possesses as well, from his noble Spanish strain and his education, also Spanish, qualities of elegance and generosity which elevate him far above all who surround him. He is the revolution...Bolivar is an indominatable soul whom a single victory of the smallest nature is enough to make master of five hundred leagues of territory.
Jose Mourinho is a great coach. I would really like to work with him, and I once came close. He knows what weapons to use against teams, and he has won everything.
Guardiola has never been a great player; he was just a good player.
Everybody knows that Jurgen Klopp is a great manager and a great guy as well.
What I will miss the most about Guardiola? His obsession with the game and his knowledge, which makes you a better football player.
Paul Scholes has been the best England midfield player for 30-odd years. You'd probably have to go back to Bobby Charlton to find someone who could do as much as Scholes. When the ball arrives at his feet he could tell you where every player on that pitch is at that moment. His awareness is superb.
I must have just dreamed that about Liverpool playing 3-4-3. What do people think that was, a bit of luck? A British coach playing 3-4-3? A foreign coach doing that would be a tactical genius. I imagine people think I fell into that system through a stroke of luck or something... it took some thought. I didn't just throw them out there.
Alexander III of Macedon is known as Alexander the Great because he killed more people of more different kinds than any other man of his time.
Pep always keeps inventing new things. He is magic. I hope he can win the Champions League with City.
Scholes was playing tiki-taka football when nobody in England knew what it was. He was another of those players, like Denis Law or Bobby Moore, who at 15 probably looked as if he wouldn't make it.
José Mourinho is a big star. He's nice. The first time he met Helena [Ibrahimovic's partner] he whispered to her: 'Helena, you have only one mission - feed Zlatan, let him sleep, keep him happy.' That guy says whatever he wants. I like him.
Sir Alex Ferguson already has his place in the history books; he is definitely one of the best coaches ever.
So a military force has no constant formation, water has no constant shape: the ability to gain victory by changing and adapting according to the opponent is called genius.
I was always known as the 'Desert Fox.'
Klopp is a coach with a lot of charisma.
Steve Bannon is a brilliant tactician.
Mourinho is a winner and will remain a winner.
Funnily enough we have never had one enquiry for Paul Scholes. You know why? Because they all know he will never leave. in my time he would be in the top six or seven (best United players ever) without a doubt. His contribution and quality have been great, even without the fantastic goals he has scored. [ . . . ] He has that wonderful velvet touch on the ball. When he gets it, it goes stone dead. It is wonderful to see that amidst all the mayhem that can happen in a football match.
Athena always, always has a plan.
Ernesto Valverde is a great coach.
Talk about Jose Mourinho, and you're talking about a winner.
When Jurgen Klopp came to Liverpool I was ecstatic. I knew his pedigree and what he did at Borussia Dortmund. What a job he did there.
Napoleon said of Massena, that he was not himself until the battle began to go against him; then, when the dead began to fall in ranks around him, awoke his powers of combination, and he put on terror and victory as a robe.
