#trophies

I hate to speak about individuals. Players don't win you trophies, teams win trophies, squads win trophies. ↗

Our two biggest rivals had adjusted their whole season to this one aim of beating us. Of course, it is a big compliment that they were so motivated to stop us but it was very tough to face two matches like that so close together. Suddenly three trophies are down to one. ↗

So many of today's programs are about trophies and jackets, and we think that's a big mistake. ↗

All I know is that I've wasted all these years looking for something, a sort of trophy I'd get only if I really, really did enough to deserve it. But I don't want it anymore, I want something else now, something warm and sheltering, something I can turn to, regardless of what I do, regardless of who I become. Something that will just be there, always, like tomorrow's sky. That's what I want now, and I think it's what you should want too. But it will be too late soon. We'll become too set to change. If we don't take our chance now, another may never come for either of us. ↗

Arsene Wenger's idea is not only to play good football. It's to play good football to win. In my day, we knew that with our style we could hurt teams and win trophies too. But we did it our way, with the positional game, passing, movement. ↗

When there's so much left to do, why spend your time focusing on things you've already done, counting trophies or telling stories about the good old days? ↗

The way I look at myself, the biggest achievement in my eyes - forget winning trophies or scoring in World Cups - is that I'm still at a top club playing at a really high standard having been almost two different players. ↗

My old coach used to say that if you were in it for the match, if you were in it for the trophies, you were in it for the wrong reasons. ↗
