Robert Green Quotes

Pep Guardiola saw me as a central player in his system, which my style of play fit into perfectly.

Whether a player rotates more or less depends on his form and his position. It's not the same for a center back as it is for a winger. Every player is different.

You can play Dybala and Ronaldo; it just depends on the situations.

You can put the players on the pitch but they always move and systems change. I think, though, that Messi has to be a special case and that the other nine outfield players should support him. But one player on his own is not going to win you the World Cup.

As a player, I had no idea whatsoever about getting a team ready for a game, what it entails.

Every national side plays according to their characteristics and the kind of entertainment they like.

If you lose a player who scores seven, eight, or nine goals, you have to find another one.
