FOOTY QUOTES 📢

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇪🇸 Sara Duque (Trent Alexander-Arnold’s language teacher): It took Trent five months to learn Spanish. When he stepped onto that stage (his presentation as a Real Madrid player) and spoke calmly, clearly and from the heart, it wasn’t about fluency. It was about respect, courage and a genuine desire to belong. As his language teacher, that moment meant everything

🇫🇷🏆🥶 Desire Doue: We are ALWAYS hungry. We want more. We are really ambitious. We are a young team and we want to win everything this season again

❤️‍🔥 Kylian Mbappé: The more money you have, the more problems you face. If I didn't have the passion, football would have burned me out long time ago

🌕 Unai Emery: Kvaratskhelia is the favourite to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, in my opinion

🕰️ Mehdi Benatia: The new generation of players? With Pep Guardiola, we used to have meetings that lasted 45 minutes. If you hold a 15-minute one today, you feel as if you had ripped their hearts out!

Scholes: Roy Keane was our manager on the pitch Cantona: He was so intelligent in how he played the game Solskjaer: If I could pick one player in my team, I would always pick Roy Keane Roy Keane turns 55 today! 🇮🇪⚔️

❤️ José Mourinho: When I left Real Madrid [in 2013], I agreed to join Man United after Sir Alex. I was, of course, very flattered, because Manchester United holds an incredible allure. When I say that Real Madrid is the greatest club in the world, I must clarify that Manchester United is very very close!

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Oxford United manager Aaron Ramsey: I see the game as being on the front foot, aggressive, dominating games, in and out of possession. There’s a lot of detail that goes into that for you to be able to enable that to come to life. I definitely didn’t start playing football to be in a ‘low block’, so it’s not going to be my coaching style

👏 Chris Smalling: It's very easy to influence younger players but the beauty of Sir Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho is that they were able to create that belief in senior players. A lot of managers can give good team talks but if you look at some eye-to-eye, see the passion and real belief that 'it's going to happen' senior players follow and the rest lock in. That's the beauty of top-class manager

🛡️ Chicharito: You play for the badge, NOT for your name, then your name will be recognised FOREVER, but first goes the BADGE

⚔️😁 Alex Iwobi on playing against Lionel Messi: My Champions League debut was against Barcelona’s MSN - Messi, Suárez, Neymar. Everyone was scared to tackle Messi, so I thought, ‘I’ll do it.’ His first touch sent me flying. That dribble is still all over YouTube, and I even changed my hairstyle since then so people wouldn’t recognise me. I tried to press Messi, he chopped inside, and my legs went up in the air. It comes up every now and again on Messi's YouTube compilations and I just think 'Oh no that's me again!’

🇸🇳💛 Villarreal midfielder Alassane Diatta: I started playing football thanks to my grandfather... He would buy me the balls and play with me on the street
