Sportsmanship for me is when a player leaves the field and you can’t tell if the player has won or lost. When the player exudes pride regardless of the result.
One man can be crucial to a team, but one man cannot make a whole team.
It’s not over until it’s over.
It’s different from being 21 and you think there’s endless amount of opportunities. At 33, the ending is much, much closer.
Everything negative – pressure, challenges – is all an opportunity for me to rise.
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.
They say cristiano ronaldo scores only against small teams? That’s true because there’s no bigger team than Real Madrid.
My parents have been there for me ever since I was 7 years old.
An athlete cannot run with money in his pockets. He must run with hope in his heart and dreams in his head.
All footballers are motivated by money – those who say otherwise are lying.
Set the bar high for your goals and don’t stop until you get there.
Professional soccer is not a social office.
Sören Åkeby gets standing ovations when he says at a press conference that AGF will be Danish champions in three years, and there is not a single one who asks if he is raving insane.
Don’t let what you can’t do get in the way of what you can.
Yes, the players showed an excellent attitude, but I am never satisfied when we are out on Lars Tyndskid’s field and then lose.
If Per Bjerregaard wants to stop telling untruths about us, we will in turn fail to tell the truth about him.
The Laudrup brothers have the same characteristics as the Heick family. They create a network of journalists around them – a slew of after-talkers who market them as mother-in-law’s dream.
Cyclists live with pain. If you can’t handle it you will win nothing.
Pain doesn’t tell you when you ought to stop. Pain is the little voice in your head that tries to hold you back because it knows if you continue you will change.
The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great in whatever they want to do.
With stubbornness, you can turn defeats into amazing achievements.
Once you know what failure feels like, determination chases success.
I don’t believe in motivating a team. I believe in preparing a team so that they know that they have the necessary confidence when they go on the pitch – and are therefore prepared to play a good game.
I usually teasingly say that FCK is a superstructure, while Brøndby is a merger, a municipal entrepreneurial project that led to professional conditions.
Today you can just show bare ass for ten seconds on TV, then you are world famous in Denmark. 25 years ago, it required much more starquality.
