“My father gave me some advice when I was very young – whatever someone tells you in the future, don’t forget Pele is the best.”

For me, it’s enough that I have the first and last word.

I don’t think I’m an unlucky person.

It needs time. Nobody wants to hear it, but that’s the truth: if you want to have success in the future, you have to be ready to work now.

I always thought about working in England because of the kind of football, the intensity of football. Liverpool was first choice.

Bayern want a decade of success like Barca. That’s OK if you have the money because it increases the possibility of success. But it’s not guaranteed.

The intensity of the football and how the people live football in Liverpool – it is not a usual.

I am a normal guy from the Black Forest, and I do not compare myself with the geniuses.

As Dortmund manager, I lived in a street, and my two neighbours were Schalke fans. They showed it every day, flying flags!

You can speak about spirit, or you can live it.

When you play sports like tennis, you’re alone, and that’s a good school for life, but it’s also a good school for life to bring your best and make those around you better, too – helping others in difficult moments.

I’m looking forward to the intensity of football and how the people live football in Liverpool. It’s a special club.

I didn’t take many penalties, but I never missed one.

If you want special results, you have to feel special things and do special things together.

If two smart, intelligent, clever guys sit together on a table, and you both want the same, where can be the problem? We all want to be successful.

I get a little bit emotional during a game!

It is my job to help the players react better.

I had a great time being a salesman because of the pitches that I gave when I was selling shoes.

The Hindu religions gave me the impression of a vast well into which one plunges in order to grasp the reflection of the sun.

The most satisfying thing in life is to have been able to give a large part of one’s self to others.

My father gave me some Jack Nicklaus MacGregor clubs when I was six years old. He cut down some of the shafts, but they were men’s clubs, so they were heavy.

The city gave us a goodbye party, and it lasted a week.

What if you gave someone a gift, and they neglected to thank you for it – would you be likely to give them another?

Emerson’s fame as a writer and thinker was firmly established during his lifetime by the books he gave to the world.

Young Thug, he gave me all the jewels. He literally paid me to leave the neighborhood.
