The best players want to play in the best competition.

Brendan Rodgers

Status does not matter. It is what you are like as a player. It doesn’t matter how much money you have come for. That doesn’t matter to me. I will play a 17-year-old if he fights and he has quality. It is quite easy.

The quality of people you have around you as a manager is so vital. There are various factors that influence that process; fitness, form and the tactical approach to your opponent are all areas I review on a daily basis.

I’ve always been one to arrive early for work; preparation is a big part of how I work, and I like to be in my office going through plans for the upcoming training sessions or meetings I have.

I’m blessed to be supported by some brilliant staff, who are all experts in their field and dedicated to what they do.

I think I’ve proven I can build a team that plays a way of football that excites and challenges at the top end of the table.

I think my history as a coach shows I like players who are gifted technically and have courage when it comes to being in possession of a football. That is a key quality for me.

Even more important than statistics is then having the staff that can take the data and ensure it’s presented in a way that improves individuals and teams.
BRENDAN RODGERS

Data Important Team
