"🗣 Andy Robertson: "I need to start with a confession. Not many things bug me but if there's one thing that does it's the idea that my story is a football fairy tale. I know when people say I'm some sort of Cinderella Man that it's meant as a compliment. I appreciate that but to be totally honest it doesn't feel like one because it isn't true. No magic wands have been waved in my direction I didn't win some kind of lottery to land a spot on one of the biggest clubs in the world. The reason why I'm a Liverpool player is the same reason why I'm captain of my country: I've worked my bollocks off"

Its ridiculous that he allows his friends to push him into making such statements. Ive watched Messis interviews and he only ever talks about his family his clubs (past and present) and his national team.""

I imagine Guardiola thought that instead of moving the best in his position (Busquets) he would move the other one. So that's when I started playing as a central defender and I liked it. He had two midfielders put the best in his position and the other one had to figure it out (laughs).

I felt guilty but Messi surprised me with a hug and said to me "It's okay this is football. We have reached the final. We are champions." Then I was reported that the coach did not want me back in the national team but Messi intervened and spoke to the coach and told him that he had no fault in all of this. We all lose in football we are not perfect. Then the coach called on me to play in the matches. If it were not Messi I would"

"🗣 Gary Lineker: Do you know what If I was Kobbie Mainoo and I say this in jest. I'd be thinking about whether I should SUE him Amorim or not. He's taken a year out of that kid's career. This kid is a wonderful footballer. God he makes it look so easy. He wants the ball he receives it with anyone around him and he turns always makes the right decisions he's graceful. I mean come on He's been absolutely detrimental to his career. If he doesn't make the World Cup squad. and I sense he probably will if he can stay fit and if he keeps playing because he's just a seriously good footballer.""

"🗣 Antonio Rdiger: "When Tuchel came in as manager and gave me a chance it was a new life for me. Actually he did something right away that I think a lot of managers could learn from. It had nothing to do with tactics. He just came up to me and he said "Toni tell me about yourself." He wanted to know where my aggression and hunger came from and I told him about growing up in Berlin-Neuklln and how I used to play so hard on the concrete pitches that all the older kids started calling me "Rambo." He asked about me as a person. That was big. When Tuchel gave me a chance I had so much motivation"

"🗣 Paul Scholes: "If Arsenal win the league this could be the worst team to win the league. Do you remember the start of the season They could only win a game by set-pieces. They've got a lot of players that need to prove themselves prove that they can win the league. If you're thinking of picking a team of the season and you pick a front four who out of the Arsenal team gets in that Saka's possibly the only one and I don't think he's been brilliant. They still don't have a centre-forward. It's a different way of doing it." https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2021222624517357697"

"🗣 Patrice Evra: "If Cristiano Ronaldo invites you over for lunch just say NO." Cristiano first of all as a person and human being is so generous so nice and people don't see that face. But he is a winner. He is addicted. When he invites you for lunch. trust me don't ever go because you are going to have one of the most boring lunches at Cristiano's; it is salad plain chicken and water. There isn't even fizzy water. We started eating and I was thinking some big meat would be coming after that but there was nothing. After that we went into the garden trained for a little bit went swimming went"
