Livingston wants to give it to Armstrong, but Armstrong would rather have it from behind by Hamilton.
All I got from van Looy and his cronies was ridicule, not one piece of help or advice. They were very unfair, I was still just a naive young boy really. With Peugeot, and es[Simpson]pecially with Tom [Simpson], it was completely different.
It’s not about whether you get knocked down. It’s about whether you get back up again.
All footballers are motivated by money – those who say otherwise are lying.
We did not underestimate them. They were just so much better than we expected.
Champions play until they reach their goal.
They say cristiano ronaldo scores only against small teams? That’s true because there’s no bigger team than Real Madrid.
Football is a fairly simple sport. 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes and in the end the Germans win!

Ultimately, it is the extra effort that separates the best from the second best. It requires ambition, determination, discipline and a willingness to sacrifice. If you add all this up, and even if you don’t win – how can you lose?
They are some fools, excuse the expression, because they know the terms, and yet we must listen to the Norwegians’ pathetic statements every year. Many of us are fucking tired of that.
I am a trained teacher. But apparently not good at pedagogy
When it’s hurting you that’s when you can make a difference.
Everything negative – pressure, challenges – is all an opportunity for me to rise.
If you fail in your preparation, you might as well prepare to fail.
