football quotes

Jeoy Barton England football player
1.When people talk about my dark days, when I sit down and think about
it - the misdemeanours I've had, with the things that go on in the real world,
- the things I have done are stupid and foolish. But they are not war crimes.
That's what gets me. When footballers are on the front page and on page seven
is something about soldiers dying or floods or the real tragedies in this world,
I ask myself how we can justify that.
2.You have to face facts. We have not brought quality in.
One or two have done all right but not enough to take the team onto the next level.
We can't gamble on players who have scored six goals in six games in the fucking Pontins
League or in Belgium. I know a lot of the supporters are umming and ahhing
about whether to buy their season tickets. They go out and work hard.
It is a lot of money to buy a season ticket at our place and they are not getting
value for money.
3.Barton questioning whether modern-day footballers receive too much media coverage.

Gabreil Batistuta player of argentine
1.I've always given everything for every team I've played for so that the ordinary fans, the people in the stadium, could identify with me. I owe a lot to the fans of Roma,
Fiorentina and Argentina. They were the reason I played, my inspiration.
I always worked hard to improve my game, to prove to myself that I could be
one of the best for as long as possible. To be honest, I couldn’t care less what
the others think.
2.When I was playing football I never enjoyed it that much,
I was never happy ... if I scored two goals, I wanted a third,
I always wanted more. Now it’s all over I can look back with satisfaction,

but I never felt that way when I was playing.

2.He cannot kick with his left foot, he cannot head a ball, he cannot tackle
and he doesn't score many goals. Apart from that he's all right...
3.There have been a few players described as the new George Best over the years,
but this is the first time it's been a compliment to me.
