The coaches are there to bounce ideas off and stuff, but at the end of the day, they let us be us. We make our match, and we do 'us', you know what I mean?
The NBA believes if you play for a team and get paid by a team, you're the property of that team for 24 hours a day.
No coach wants to sit back and not have control of the team.
We try to play football; don't forget it, right. My teams always in my career try to play football. I cannot control the other circumstances.
When Jason Koumas is on form, he's the type of player who calls all the strings
The Bears need to let me be GM.
I had a few passionate discussions with my own coaches, but it wasn't for more playing time or anything like that. It was because, even then, I wanted to run the team my own way.
Baseball is the only sport I know that when you're on offense, the other team controls the ball.
Between 20km and 10km to go, you want the whole team at the front. You don't necessarily want to take control, and the speed will be dictated by how many surges you get from the other teams. You don't want to go so fast they can't come, but you want to be just ahead so you're in control.
I like it when the team is in control of the match. I like very much the ball possession; I like to play in the other half.
Pellegrini as a coach likes the team to be in control of the ball, and go forward.
What I like about Pochettino is the way that he looks in control. He is in control of his players, in control of the way that they play.
My characteristics are to control the game, stay in the middle and organise the team, but I can adapt as well.
Well football teams are perhaps easier to control than political parties, I'm sure the Prime Minister would agree with me, but yeah I think every team needs discipline and a sense of self-belief and that's important, that's what leadership's all about.
It is nothing new for the management of an international cricket team to wrestle with the amount of freedom afforded to players.
English footballers are honest - they will run for 90-odd minutes - but that is not always what you need. Sometimes you need to rein back a bit and try and control the game with your passing.
You have got to boss scrums. The players need to know what you want them to adhere to. Then it is up to them to decide whether they are adhering to that or not.
The little bit of my Brazilian side in Azzurri is perhaps to play more with the ball on the ground and have the tranquility to hold the ball. The idea is to have more control of the game.
If the national coach lets decisions be made from outside, he's lost the team.
I am dead set against free agency. It can ruin baseball.
I think some of the English players at Chelsea run the club, pretty much.
All coaches say, 'We want to control the game. We want the ball. Blah, blah, blah, blah,' but it's impossible to have the ball all the time.
When it is 1-0 and you have been dominant and you have restricted the home team to pretty much nothing, if you do not score the second goal then that is football. Any action can happen in the game.
What I can control is how I'll perform when I got to a team.
