Once you know what failure feels like, determination chases success.
We’ve crazy about cycling. We just so like it.
Pain is temporary. Quitting lasts forever.
His shiny ice flashes like the sword of Athens in the setting French evening sun.
A football player will not do well if he can not run around Funen without breathing.
There may be people with more talent than you, but there is no excuse not to work harder than you already do.
Some people believe that football is a matter of life and death. I am very disappointed with this attitude. I can guarantee that it is much more important than that.
If you train hard, you not only become hard yourself, you also become hard to overcome.
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.
Don’t let what you can’t do get in the way of what you can.
I’m as happy as I can get – meeen I’ve been happier.
I have self-doubt. I have insecurity. I have fear of failure. I have nights when I show up at the arena and I’m like, ‘My back hurts, my feet hurt, my knees hurt. I don’t have it. I just want to chill.’ We all have self-doubt. You don’t deny it, but you also don’t capitulate to it. You embrace it.
You can change wives, politics, religion… but you can never, ever change your favorite football team.
I knew we had to drive on cobblestones, but I didn’t know they had thrown them down from a helicopter.
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.
It doesn’t get any easier, you just get faster.
Sports are such a great teacher. I think of everything they’ve taught me: camaraderie, humility, how to resolve differences.
Now they just have to stop coming up with all sorts of weird ideas. You do not know what the next thing they think we should do is. Whether we’re going to run through fire or something. I sat and thought a bit about an idea one could give to them. Maybe the day after tomorrow or in a few days, they will do a stage where we do not know when there are goals. They say it is between 1 cm. and 300 km. and then all of a sudden it’s some man with a flag – maybe a dwarf. And then the stage is over.
The beauty in being blessed with talent is rising above doubters to create a beautiful moment.
I usually teasingly say that FCK is a superstructure, while Brøndby is a merger, a municipal entrepreneurial project that led to professional conditions.
If you are not ready to go all the way, why go anywhere at all.
Set the bar high for your goals and don’t stop until you get there.
With stubbornness, you can turn defeats into amazing achievements.
Shut up legs
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.
