Per Mertesacker Quotes


I've never had that dream in my head: 'I want to play Bundesliga or Premier League.' I was a fan, but it was never the dream that one day I was going to make it, because a lot of people had told me already that I wouldn't.

I kind of had to convince myself when I was playing for the Washington Freedom that this was the highest level that I'm going to reach. 'I'm going to be a professional player, and I'm going to try and be the best one I can be, but it's maybe just not in my cards to be an international player. I won't play in a World Cup.' That was hard for me.

Alexander’s move was a stroke of genius. He wanted to amass a great army but did not have the funds in the royal treasure to pay for it. Instead of squeezing the nobles for more funds, he gave everything away. This signaled a willingness to share the wealth so that the nobles financed the army so that they could amass more with the booty of victory. Perdiccas and a few others refused their shares and committed themselves to Alexander’s “hopes.” See {612208} for Alexander’s mother’s view of his generosity later.
