"When I retire, the only thing that concerns me is that no one can say that I was a bad team-mate or disrespectful or self-important."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"Football is a team sport and not an individual sport. We win as a team, and every individual is better if we are part of the team."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"You have to know what club you are playing for, or you just play for yourself. Every time I put on a Liverpool shirt, I know it is more than just a football game."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"Fitness is important, but the most important thing is how you adapt and the way you feel physically. To adapt to a new position. To try to change your game."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"Madrid is not as big as London, but it is true when you are coming from a big city like Madrid, nothing is going to surprise you, and I am very happy to move to a city like London. It is a big city, and you can do everything you want with the respect that the English people always have."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"It's not easy to come somewhere new and have to find your place. You might feel someone doesn't like you, or you might need to find new friends. It's not easy, and I don't like this kind of thing. It's not easy, so you want to protect the players who are alone."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"I didn't realise how my life was changing. When I was 17, 18, 20, I didn't realise how big football was and everything around football. How many people live for football and love football. I was a professional, but I was a supporter."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"I remember when I first came to Liverpool, Pepe Reina helped with everything, and he made it easy for me. When I was Atletico Madrid captain, I tried to help everyone. These are the basics in football: you need to create an atmosphere and try to create a group of friends. It's not easy, and it doesn't always happen, but you have to try."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"The biggest ambition in my career is still to win the European Cup. I want to have a picture of that to look at later; I want to have that medal. You can have a contract that is better than your friends, but no player looks back and says: 'I won more money.'"
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"I was captain in Atletico at 19, playing in the same team as Demetrio Albertini, who won three Champions Leagues, and Sergi Barjuan from Barcelona, who had won everything, and they were 32, 33. I was a kid as captain, so I wasn't the real captain, just a kid learning from them."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"One of the reasons I chose to come to Liverpool was because of the mentality of the club. It's a working club and a working city. I don't know why, but I feel like one of the people here. They recognise me and wish me luck, but in Spain, they surround you and you can't do anything. I think they're happy with me here."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"I am a big fan of the Gallagher brothers. At Liverpool, they came a few times; they are friends of Steven Gerrard. It was nice to meet them. When I was in Spain, I couldn't speak English, so I couldn't understand the lyrics. When I came to England, I started studying music and trying to understand what my favourite songs said."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"The writing is therapeutic for me, it's an introverted process, I'm really inside my head. It's a really obsessive process. The live show, though, is the opposite. It's an extroverted process. It pushes me to connect with people, and so it pulls me out of my head and just pulls me out of myself."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"When you become an adult you just make that transition and you're right... it's fun and exciting to be an adult and exciting to have independence, but once you're out from under the cover of your family's protection and love, you sort of have to take a step back and come to terms with the fact that you won't really ever have that again in the same way. You'll never be a kid again."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"I firmly believe if we get that ball in there, it's a football game. I don't know if we were going to win, but it's a football game. ... We weren't the same team in the second half."
Quote by -Mark Dantonio
"He plays consistently. We've got to get all of our football team playing like that."
Quote by -Mark Dantonio
"The defined role is to get him in the game and get him the football in his hands as much as we can."
Quote by -Marvin Lewis
"We hung in there toe to toe, but we have to make plays to win. We're a good football team. In order to prove that, we have to go beat the other good football teams."
Quote by -Marvin Lewis
"Nah. It's not going to have any effect on who wins or loses the football game -- until somebody hits you in the mouth."
Quote by -Marvin Lewis
"We're in a situation on our football team where no matter what position the guy plays, he doesn't necessarily have to come in right now and be the bell cow. We don't have to put the pressure on that guy to do that, right or wrong. But when we pick that first pick, we want a guy that we feel can be a fine pro for a long time."
Quote by -Marvin Lewis
"It's a pretty typical play whether they show it or not. It's a fundamental football play. Just cover your man. Don't let your eyes go to where they don't belong."
Quote by -Marvin Lewis
"We played another physical football game and we knew it was going to be that type of game. We've got to make corrections, both players and coaches."
Quote by -Marvin Lewis
"If you tackle well and you tackle with your arms, and if you keep going after the football aggressively, good things will happen."
Quote by -Marvin Lewis
"We won't know where things are until we go out and begin playing football when it counts. That's the hard part of it. Even if he had been here every day, no matter who it is, what position, there's always something new that comes up, and how people handle those situations is always tested. That's why it's not an exact science."
Quote by -Marvin Lewis
"We have to win football games. I don't think Carson has to do anything different. The rest of us have to keep playing and coaching better. We just let him do his job. I think it's up to the rest of us."
Quote by -Marvin Lewis
"It's an exciting week for the city. For our football team, I'll keep them calm and let's just get ready to play the football game. But I think for everybody else it's going to be an exciting week."
Quote by -Marvin Lewis
"It just tells you that we have a good football team, but we need to play good at all times or that's what's going to happen. We have enough good players and a team that has some resolve."
Quote by -Marvin Lewis
"First of all, you must have the ability to run the football and take care of the ball offensively."
Quote by -Marvin Lewis
"With Messi, we're talking about the best player in the world. It doesn't matter if he's a little bit injured: he can still change everything."
Quote by -Gerard Piqué
"I consider that, in a democracy, everyone has the right to decide. If people don't have the right to express what they feel, we would be going back to a bygone era."
Quote by -Gerard Piqué
"My routine prior to a big game is the same for any other match. Eat, sleep, chat with teammates during the day, and then, as the match draws near, I listen to my music on the trip to the stadium and zone in."
Quote by -Gerard Piqué
"Cristiano Ronaldo has not changed since we were both at Manchester United."
Quote by -Gerard Piqué
"I have not betrayed Barca, and I'm surprised anyone would doubt my commitment to Barcelona, because I've been a fan since birth."
Quote by -Gerard Piqué
"It is very difficult to find a player who stays at the same club for the whole of their career."
Quote by -Gerard Piqué
"You try to do the best for your club, and you also create relationships and friendships - with Neymar, my relationship is really strong."
Quote by -Gerard Piqué
"I have always said that to play for the national team is a pride and a great motivation."
Quote by -Gerard Piqué
"I would like to change the refereeing system. The pressure that is put on an official in a match is too large."
Quote by -Gerard Piqué
