I think that the game is the game. I think that expansion is good for the game because it gives more jobs to the people and more ballplayers can play, but I think the game is still the game. The ballplayers, they come into the game with one thing in mind - it's their job. ↗

The people who run the game, they are the ones who want to change it and make people believe that it's different somehow. It's not different, the only difference is that some ballplayers today have a chance for a four- or five-year contract and they can make big money. ↗

You hear all the time about European players playing the game. These players that come over at 17, 18 and 19, they just don't all of a sudden become skilled. From the time they were little fellas, they learned the fundamentals of the game. Let them create. ↗

You always draw from your roots. I'm influenced by everything I hear and see, and that includes music today, but obviously I go back to my early influences: Stevie Wonder, Parliament, Earth, Wind & Fire, Ohio Players, Average White Band. Those kind of artists are what I look to. When I hear that stuff on the radio, I turn it up! ↗

There are pitfalls in World Cups, there are players who can win penalties and players who get the slightest touch and go down holding their face or whatever and get someone sent off. There are all these little things and you're hoping that you're not on the wrong end of it. ↗

The only players I hurt with my words are the ones who have an inflated opinion of their ability. I can't worry about that. ↗

So if the players trust the coach, it's not a problem. If the players don't trust the coach, it is a problem, and vice versa. ↗

Something goes wrong, I yell at them -"Fix it"- whether it's their fault or not. You can only really yell at the players you trust. ↗

I don't have to make examples out of players to establish my own place. I don't feel like I have to. ↗

I've been around enough to know what it takes to get a team to reach its potential, and I want players who want to reach their potential. ↗
