The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Ivan Rakitić
- Every player is different, but I try to treat everyone the same. On a day-to-day basis, I come across other footballers and club staff, and I try to treat all the same, from the security guard to Lionel Messi.
- When I met my wife, I felt as though I really had something to play for, and my career went to another level after that.
- Friends ask me to pick the best 11 players, but sometimes the best 11 players are not the best team. So it’s something that you have to work together.
- I have a lot of respect for the British people and the passion which they have for football, the full stadiums.
- I would never describe football as a job because it doesn’t feel like a job.
- A part of me feels very Swiss: I follow Swiss sports – curling, for example – and I support Swiss teams. I love Roger Federer.
- When you put the sacred Croatia shirt on, you become another person. We have this togetherness, this unique unity – not just in football. We are exceptional in tennis, handball, basketball, water polo. If we were to hold a tournament in ping pong, all of us would be rooting for that single player.
- In England, everyone is really physically strong. They can play three games, and then they are ready to play the fourth. If you are a Spanish team, and you give away a corner against an English team, then you have to be ready.
- I think this is the special character of the people from Seville. They have a really open spirit and receive everyone like family.
- I love football. A lot. It’s never a moment to say that I’m bored. There is a lot of repetition in football, in training and travel, but I still love it.
