The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Carles Puyol
- I was one of those players who loved to train and tried to enjoy every day, every session, every game.
- What matters most is that the team always comes ahead of the players.
- It’s frustrating to see part of your body not responding – even more so given the way I am and the way I like to train and always give 100 per cent. You experience sadness, anger, and powerlessness… you really want to do something, but you can’t. In the end, however, you have to be honest with yourself and those around you.
- Sometimes I played as a goalkeeper with my brother and his friends – they were all older, and nobody wanted to go in goal, so it had to be me!
- I’m not a big fan of revolutions. People nearly always call for them when a team that’s triumphed a great deal goes a year without winning anything. For me, however, the experience gained in previous victories is important.
- Every player dreams of winning the World Cup, and there are very few who are fortunate enough to actually do it.
- For me, it’s hard to separate being a fan from the feelings you have for some of your team-mates.
- Development has to start from the base; the kids need to be playing, and the institutions have to come forward. There needs to be focus on grassroots.
- I’ve been lucky enough to play for the Spanish national team and Barcelona, two sides who’ve shown that you can play good, attractive possession football and win major titles.
- Those of us involved in football must be aware of the power we have to help. We also have a responsibility to return to society all that society has given to us.
