Football is about joy. It's about dribbling. I favour every idea that makes the game beautiful. Every good idea has to last.Ronaldinho
Football is now all about money. There are problems with the values within the game. This is sad because football is the most beautiful game. We can play it in the street. We can play it everywhere.Johan Cruyff
Money is not a motivating factor. Money doesn't thrill me or make me play better because there are benefits to being wealthy. I'm just happy with a ball at my feet. My motivation comes from playing the game I love. If I wasn't paid to be a professional footballer I would willingly play for nothing.Lionel Messi
As long as you've got serious investors who wish to put money into football, I applaud. It proves that football is attractive. What upsets me, what I find scandalous, is when clubs accept fools.Sepp Blatter
Football helped me with confidence that I needed. It gave me a sense of independence and earning my own money and my own keep. That's what it served. It gave me the strength to be able to deal with rejection, politics, hard work, and being introduced to pain and embracing what's uncomfortable.John David Washington
Football is football and talent is talent. But the mindset of your team makes all the difference.Robert Griffin III
Footballers' 'lack of loyalty,' for instance, is not an indication of players' moral delinquency. Instead, the capacity to move on quickly without forming lasting attachments is a skill that the contemporary capitalist world inculcates and relies upon.Mark Fisher
Football is like life - it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority.Vince Lombardi
Football is one of the most popular sports in the country, and there are many reasons for this. You can take so much from football and apply it to life in general. Just some of those things are goal-setting, preparation, teamwork, perseverance and discipline.Philip Rivers
Football is a simple game. Twenty-two men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans always win.Gary Lineker
