hands devil accepting
Once you shake hands with the devil, you have to accept they are in control.
giving-up giving causes
Never give in or give up easily on a cause.
player today messi
Critics have always questioned whether players like Pele from the 50s could play today. Lionel Messi could play in the 1950s and the present day, as could Di Stefano, Pele, Maradona, Cruyff because they are all great players. Lionel Messi without question fits into that category.
team hair class
Scholes was probably the best English midfielder since Bobby Charlton. He was such a brilliant long passer that he could choose a hair on the head of any team-mate answering the call of nature at our training ground. Gary Neville once thought he had found refuge in a bush, but Scholesy found him from 40 yeards. He inflicted a similar long-range missile strike, once, on Peter Schmeichel, and was chased round the training ground for his impertinence. Scholesy would have made a first class-sniper.
guy might painting
I am such a bloody talented guy. I might go into painting or something like that.
soccer football thinking
I think Sepp Blatter is in danger...or has reached a point now, where he is being mocked within the game. Whether he's getting too old, I don't know. But things can happen to people in power. Look at some of the despots in Africa... From a position of great power, he has uttered so many ridiculous statements that he is in danger of seriously damaging his credibility.
soccer football winning
Liverpool can play for only five minutes and win the game, that is the way they are. They pump the ball into the box and with good set-piece delivery they keep you under pressure.

needs losing reason
I've got a temper if I need it. Nothing wrong with losing your temper, if it's for the right reasons.
player thinking skills
I think Paul Scholes is the best player in England. He's got the best skills, the best brain. No one can match him. There isn't a player of his mould anywhere in the world. Paul is irreplaceable.

Football, bloody hell!

The most important thing in a game like that is to win it.
soccer moving player
I tell the players that the bus is moving. This club has to progress. And the bus wouldn't wait for them. I tell them to get on board.
gives good naturally option quick
The deal's done. He gives us a different option in the left-back position. He's naturally left-footed, very quick and he's a good footballer.
