The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Marcel Desailly
- Playing football helped me to gain self-discipline, confidence, negotiation skills, teamwork and leadership.
- Zidane is a top player and he knows that if players do not perform, there needs to be a little bit of silence and hard work.
- Henry was perhaps more appreciated in England – I think he was a little underrated in France – but Thierry had everything you would want from a forward. He was so speedy, making it tough for us defenders to intervene. And he had such lucidity in front of goal. The famous side-foot finish he made his trademark was a thing of joy.
- Honestly when you look at football when Sepp Blatter was made FIFA president in 1998, the global budget for the World Cup in France, or South Korea and Japan, Germany etc. He has really boosted the interests of football across the world.
- I believe that Lampard has helped Giroud shine often by getting a lot out of him but he can’t be the first choice for Lampard.
- We need to understand and to trust the fact that every single time Abramovich or the management of Chelsea have been able to get the correct coach to go for victory.
- Nobody resembles me, because now they’re much more technical. The way they use the ball, the ability and the skills, is much more accurate.
- Baba Rahman should not give up. I think he has the level to be at Chelsea as a first choice, so he should try more.
- In 2002 we went into the first World Cup in Asia as reigning champions and we had also added the European crown in 2000, playing better football and with more confidence in our ability.
- In modern football all the teams are capable of getting organised and causing problems. The underdogs are not scared any more.
