Any good attacker will always beat a defender who's face-marking you.
When a team goes down to 10 men, it makes you go and attack the game, push bodies forward, and create extra numbers.
Deny what they didn't charge and charge what they can't deny.... If it's our charge, we're revealing the facts; if it's theirs, it's a smear.
It is very tough to beat an English team. The type of football they play is only in the Premier League. They defend as though their lives depend on it. And they are very successful.
I can be the only defensive midfielder and try and break up play. Or I can play a little more forward.
I was happy to be in Afghanistan, doing these real-world operations and taking the fight to the terrorists that attacked us.
When teams play good football, it tends to create chances for the striker.
I heard Katty Kay's name and I know Katty Kay said we didn't have a plan. Well, there is a plan, and the President [Barack Obama] is moving forward with any number of options and ways to augment our efforts on ISIL.
Maybe Klopp is the best manager in the world at creating teams who attack the back four with so many players, from almost anywhere on the pitch. They have an intensity with the ball and without the ball, and it is not easy to do that.

In attack, I can play in every position.
The Scottish game is not easy - far from it.You don't have so much time on the ball. There are aggressive defenders but it is good. Every opponent likes to mark closely so it is not so easy to score. In Germany there was more space to run into other areas of the pitch.
In football, you don't hold on to the ball just to hold on to the ball. When you have it you need to be dangerous, create opportunities and score goals. And when you don't, you make sure the opposition doesn't.

Enormous self-belief, intuition, the ability to take a risk at a critical moment and go in for a very dangerous play with counter-chances for the opponent - it is precisely these qualities that distinguish great players.
More than stopping the counter-attack when it happens you want to prevent it from starting.
I come in the ring to feel, check, and see my opponent. Then I understand him and understand the fight.
A lot of teams get a lot of offense off the rush.
Chelsea are not made to play football. We're good on the counter, a little bit like Real against Bayern.
