If you brake, you don’t win.
Sports are such a great teacher. I think of everything they’ve taught me: camaraderie, humility, how to resolve differences.
I won! I won! I don’t have to go to school anymore.
We in FCK are always accused of being so damn arrogant, but the fact is that we are not nearly as arrogant as anyone else would have been in our shoes
A lot of leaders fail because they don’t have the bravery to touch that nerve or strike that chord.
We just have to go out and shout as loud as we can
When I get in the ring, I have no sympathy for my opponent. I am there to win.
A football player will not do well if he can not run around Funen without breathing.
