I admire Arsenal and the philosophy that the young players have. Liverpool, with their Spanish players, they also have an incredible squad. And Manchester United and Chelsea are teams that are very big, like Real Madrid and Barcelona, with money and incredible players.
I want to be part of a World Cup-winning squad. I want to see to it that I lift the trophy for my country.
In my opinion, villains are so much more interesting than heroes. So ‘Suicide Squad’ is just like, wow, so damn awesome.
The player picked as No 23 in the squad will not win the World Cup for you.
When someone becomes a part of the Azzurri squad that has won a World Cup, they are like family, and they never abandon anyone.
To be able to win one game at Old Trafford or at one of the other strong sides in the country you have to be strong as a squad. You have to have the personality and the character to not fear and to be yourselves.
No matter what squad I go to, I always feel I can add something to it.
I would like to wish the England squad every success. I would also very much like to extend those wishes to Martin Johnson, Brian Smith, Mike Ford, John Wells, Graham Rowntree and the rest of the England 2011 World Cup management team who have been fantastic and deserve people to know that.
Everybody can win things with 25 superstars in the squad.
Messi is an extraordinary player, but your squad is pivotal: at a World Cup, the 11 players on the pitch and everyone else in the group can all play an important role.
Look, in my life, I played one World Cup: the greatest thing. I used to wait in anticipation for the squad announcement. I didn’t go to Argentina 78 having played throughout qualification. Now, that hurt.
Getting into the senior squad was an important step for me. I can learn a lot, not only on the pitch but also in everyday life.
Everyone here at Milan knows that my physical fitness is among the best in the squad; I always stand out in the tests.
Well it was sent to me, well because almost everything that is written in Baltimore is sent to me. And David Simon, who was a writer for the Baltimore Sun, spent one year following the homicide squad in Baltimore and he chronicled that period of time.
I feel the same magic about ‘Angel Falls’ that I did with ‘Twin Peaks’ and ‘Mod Squad.’
Healthy competition is always good for us. It helps the squad as well with the depth.
To be in the England squad, you have got to be playing well and your standards have got to be up there.
It has never been about me. That’s not the way I am. With Scotland, it has always been about the squad, the lads who were trying to get some big results to start the Euro 2020 campaign, rather than lads who were away from it, who people didn’t know the truth about.
Like many of us in the England squad, I wasn’t even born when the men’s team played Cameroon in the quarter-finals of the 1990 World Cup, so I couldn’t tell you much about that game.
For every Scottish player and whoever qualifies to play for Scotland, it’s important to put in the performances and, when a squad is coming up, to stay on your toes and prove you deserve to be there.
There are so many clubs with great squads, good managers, good financial situations that allows them to sign good players.
I am determined to play for Arsenal and be in the squad of Unai Emery.
I believe that whatever squad I join, I can add to it. It might take some time, but that’s what I’m there for.
No matter how great a squad is, a competition like the Champions League is not easily won.
I am a Wu-Tang member and Method Man, he been a Def Squad member way before I was a Wu member. I was like a Wu member but I wasn’t official.
New faces, maybe perking up the squad and giving you another arrow to your bow – that can be a help.
Actually, it’s normal when you come to a new club and country: you need to get used to the language, the philosophy of the team, the squad, the coach.
I think we’ve got a lot players in the squad who are more suited to European football at the moment.
Spain are a fantastic team and fantastic squad of players.
If you’ve got an opportunity to improve your squad before a World Cup you must take it.
When I joined there was probably one woman in the CID office and one in the crime squad and just two of us on a team of about 40 or 50 people.
What I want in my squad and my players is to fight for our goal.
People think of me as well-travelled, but I had not been out of Pakistan until I was picked in the Under-19 squad in 1997. The flight went from Lahore to Karachi and then from Karachi to South Africa. It was my first time on a plane and my first trip overseas.
When Pep Guardiola accepted the Manchester City job, he would have asked himself one question about the club’s current squad: is this a team that can win me the Champions League?
I wanted to make something that reminded people of the way albums used to feel. I wanted something as good as the stuff put out by the Bomb Squad, or Dr. Dre and his production crew, or ‘A Tribe Called Quest.’ I miss albums like those.
You’re training to be fit, not to make a squad, and introducing new exercises and routines that are tailored towards your goals will help you win the game you’re playing now: life.
My priority is to perform the job for which I am in the squad.
They put chains on me; they chained my waist, my legs. Put me in the back of a squad car, and I literally blacked out. I didn’t even – there’s whole pieces missing.
It’s hard for the older boys to play twice a week, so it’s important for everyone in the squad to play their part.
I couldn’t do my show without spending 12 years on the streets of Humboldt Park. It made me a better interrogator. Still, if they had taken me out of my squad car and gave me a show, I would’ve been terrible. But on ‘Springer,’ the spotlight was on Jerry and I got to grow up within the show.
I think it’s hard for one coach to do all the formats all the time, and there are a limited number of coaches who have done the hard yards already. You can have head and assistant coaches for each squad.
I think public criticism of players can go one of two ways: either the players will want to raise a proverbial middle finger at their manager and prove them wrong, or the squad will go within themselves and performances will deteriorate.
You cannot achieve your goal just with young players. We have to see them growing in a stable, mature squad.
I just want everybody to know my music and get to know my squad, Remy Boyz; just to show people New Jersey. New Jersey got talent, too. I mean, everybody sleeps on us, and they put us as the underdog.
I like English football because you play all the games from the start of the Premier League to the very last game always 100%. Even when squads in the last two or three games have just been relegated, they still play 100%.
Why does it get assumed that Zidane is a figurehead and everything Real achieve is down to the talent of the squad?
You don’t get to be in the squad unless you’re six feet tall, a supermodel, perfect, famous, and hot. That’s like hand selecting perfection, putting it into a group of girls, and saying, ‘Look how amazing we are.’
No one can take their place or their England shirt for granted. If I want to be in that squad, I need to keep banging in the goals to make sure I stay in the manager’s plans.
With only 30% of players in Premier League squads qualified to play for England, the accent on developing home-grown talent is heavier than ever.
As a manager, you worry about any different issue you have in your squad.
What batsmen like me do for fitness is often a bit different to what bowlers like Jimmy Anderson or Stuart Broad do but everyone in the squad has a big focus on core strength. It is really important for batting, bowling and fielding. You need a strong core and spine so your movement isn’t restricted out there.
I’ve got to think through all of those things – competition for places, players who need match minutes, and keeping the unity of the squad.
I’m not playing for Wolves just so I can get in squads. I’m concentrated on playing for Wolves.
If you have a good squad, and the hunger is there to win something, you can do it.
