Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Quotes

Penalties are easy if you score, but in open play, we create chances as well.

Obviously, you want to demand the puck; you want to have it as much as you can because you feel like good things can happen when it's on your stick.

You can play just as offensively with one striker as with two.

Carrying the ball is one of the strongest points in my game and I like to be a danger on the pitch.

When you are a striker, you need to give a lot of effort for the team, to keep the opponent under pressure, to press them, to win the ball fast - that's what I try to do to help the team. After that, I try to make some goals.

Everyone needs to be in position to create the openings we have. We like to play a lot where you pass the ball forward and it comes back, because it makes it easier for us to attack, because the midfielders have to turn round.

I keep my eyes clear and I hit 'em where they ain't.

I spend the entire 90 minutes looking for space on the pitch. I'm always between the opposition's two holding midfielders and thinking, 'The defence is here, so I get the ball and I go there to where the space is.'

The trick is to be there when it's settled.

The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those that got there first.

Rather than opera, football is more like ballet or a chess game. You can really see it in a team like Arsenal, especially when Dennis Bergkamp was playing. He seemed to be able to read the game like a chessboard and knew where a player would be several seconds later and put the ball there for him.

Watch me, and I only really like the ball into feet. I don't like running in behind so much.

I don't want Kylian to play like Neymar and keep the ball. Kylian is incredibly dangerous in the final move, and I want him to stay that way.

I'm a striker, and I can only score if the ball gets to me.

Football is about scoring, and if you want to do that, you have to go forward.

I'm happy to play as a centre forward or a second striker, like in the national team with Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani.

I would like to do what Cristiano has done: start wide and go into the middle as a No. 10 or 9.

Pukki has a bit of everything, which makes him a complete striker. He times his runs well, is very intelligent in his positioning, runs hard, presses opponents and never stops moving.

I have to open the game from my position. It's really important to play with the ball.

A big part of my game is movement. The players that I play with understand that and took the time to see where I like to run, and it's worked out.

It is up to me to adapt and to continue to surprise with my positioning, the timing of my runs, the trajectories, when I call for the ball.

In attack, I can play in every position.

To score goals, you need to receive the ball in advantageous positions.

You just have to be smart and know where you're at within the game and find the right time to be aggressive and take a shot. If it's not the right time, then move on to the next down.

If the spaces open up in the attack, then of course I'm willing to take it because I love to get involved; I love to get crosses in. I love to do combinations and just bring a different aspect to our game.
