I like to be in Europe - it's important for our experience. It's good for the club, the players and the fans.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
I managed Zlatan when he was young and sometimes also difficult! But, okay, that is normal.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
I like young players when they are still open to learn and behave normally, not driving a Porsche after three matches in the first team.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
I'm always a big advocate for adapting to your new team, your new country and your new team-mates.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
The entire world knows what I have with Barcelona and what Barcelona have with Ronald Koeman, so if I could become Barcelona coach one day, I would be delighted.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
You need luck, you need your key players, you need to be in the best shape, you need all of that to be champions.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
There are so many other examples in the Premier League of players who are the best in their country and make a move because they are really ready for a level higher. If they come to the English top flight, it turns out they need a period to adjust in terms of pace, aggressiveness and physicality, especially as a midfielder.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
When you have Van Gaal in charge, it is a fact that there is fear in his team. The players have a fear for mister Van Gaal. That is not always good.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
I don't speak about rumours every day in the press, because it's not necessary to tell everybody the same answer.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
If you win games you will have good possibilities to maybe play in Europe, you never know.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
What I don't like too much really is individual comments about the performances of the players after the game.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
It's easy to give your opinion in front of the television without any responsibility.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
In Holland we have always viewed Villa as an important club with a tradition of being powerful in Europe when I was younger, so I would be very interested in managing them if the job was offered to me.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
I love English football because of its brilliant atmosphere, intensity of the competition and the culture of respect that fans and players have for the game.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
One of the things I'd bring to Villa if I was in charge is the idea that winning is important in football, but winning while playing offensive football is the best of all.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
I've coached in Holland, Portugal and Spain and not only won trophies each time, but taken sides to the latter stages of the Champions League.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
The Premier League is different. Sometimes the Bournemouth game can be more difficult than Liverpool or Chelsea.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
I like to play attacking football, but I think the big difference is that we expect a lot more from our strikers, to do more pressing and to keep compact. We like to play a high line defensively and press the ball.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
Normally I keep criticism of my players inside but sometimes people need to know what the manager is thinking.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
Manchester United are always a team that try to play football, try to play football from the back.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
Old Trafford is not really intimidating, no. I think the Man United fans are always behind the team and it's a fantastic place to play football.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
That's the nicest part of football; you can't do everything to stop a player.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
In football a championship team is never bought, it's built with time and patience.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
If I get the chance to coach Netherlands, I would like to take that chance.
Quote by -Ronald Koeman
I looked up to Rooney and he had played for Everton when he was 16 and I wanted to do the same.
Quote by -Ross Barkley
My mum has always kept my feet on the ground and told me that if I carry on working hard it will pay off. I used to say 'If I play for Everton one day' and she would always say 'No, when you play for Everton.'
Quote by -Ross Barkley
When I was younger I just used to get the ball and take on all the players because I was bigger and stronger. You cannot do that in the Premier League. You are playing against men.
Quote by -Ross Barkley
It was when I came back from Leeds that things started to change. I went from being a kid to having to man up and going into a man's game.
Quote by -Ross Barkley
I'm the type of player who takes risks, so every now and then I'm going to give the ball away. I just have to learn not to do it in silly areas of the pitch.
Quote by -Ross Barkley
It's not me feeling pressure, it's just me putting pressure on myself if I don't do my best, and I know I can do better.
