I know English football people say you have to look out for young players, that maybe they can play 15 or 20 games but not more. They are afraid. I am not afraid to put young players in. I am not afraid but maybe they are.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
When you bring Van Gaal in the house, you bring in quality. But you also bring in someone who thinks he knows everything. And that will cause clashes.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
If you have a lot of injuries for a long period, that makes it more normal to bring in new players.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
If you don't have that ambition you start to be sloppy and that is not what I like to be.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
I played with Romario. Sometimes you think he's sleeping, then in one split second he's scoring. It's a big quality. That means a lot of concentration for defenders. He's always fast, always on the line of sight. That's his best quality.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
I think we have very good facilities for the youth in Holland. We have very good youth coaches and I think that is some of the reasons that always Holland has very good football players.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
When I spoke to Everton, the plan, the project, the history of the club was interesting. If I didn't see ambition in Everton I wouldn't come to Everton and that's maybe a good message to all of the players.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
In football, as in life, as in business, everything can be talked about and discussed.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
When my two boys were growing up and asking me about what I did and what kind of player I was I showed them all the matches from the European Championships in 1988 when we beat Germany in the semi-final and won the final against Russia.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
When I was a player it was not normal that I would cook at home but now that I have more time, I do sometimes. I like it, I like to cook and maybe sometime I would like to have some lessons.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
It's all about the qualities of the players. The better the players, the easier it is for the manager.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
It's always important with a young one in your team that he needs to be comfortable in the position he plays.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
I'm in love with Barcelona, life there is fantastic. It was my best period playing.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
It is not always possible, but the best plan is always to keep hold of your best players.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
I had a good contract at Southampton, the managers in the Premier League are very well paid, but in football you need ambition.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
I was not happy when we lost Morgan Schneiderlin, Nat Clyne and other players of that quality at Southampton.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
From what I saw in Spain and Germany most of the teams drop back and then they have all of the time to build up and have the movements. In the Premier League it is more physical and about set plays. It is more difficult.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
You can have Guardiola as a manager, you can have Koeman as a manager, anybody as a manager, but the players inside the white lines win the game.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
It is not so easy to turn yourself into one of the big clubs in the Premier League and also the Champions League.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
We all like being part of the Premier League. There is a lot of attention and we enjoy that but football is always the same. If you win, you have friends. If you don't win, you are looking for friends. That's the game.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
If you have expectations as a club, then coping with criticism is part of your job.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
His potential is greater and higher than Everton as a final destination. If Romelu was to play at Everton until the end of his career I know he has left something behind.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
What I like is to bring the best team for the fans, and if we have that then we need to perform and we need success, but that is what I like and what I have had all my life in football.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
I was always most of the time working in clubs as player and coach to win titles.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
It is all about the talents of the young players. If they have the talent you have to give an opportunity. If they don't have the talent then, OK, you have to look elsewhere.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
We know it's impossible sometimes to have good defending against Cristiano Ronaldo but we want to keep the ball, with good possession, as then he can do nothing in attack.
