I never played for numbers.
I think, mostly for people on the outside, it’s a lot about numbers or stats. More or more. That’s how the football world is going, in that direction. But I’m not really looking into it. I’m just trying to be the best I can, to create as much as possible.

There’s so much more involved with the game than just sitting there, looking at the numbers and saying, ‘OK, these are my percentages, then I’m going to do it this way,’ because that one time it doesn’t work could cost your team a football game, and that’s the thing a head coach has to live with, not the professor.
There is no such thing as a little country. The greatness of a people is no more determined by their numbers than the greatness of a man is by his height.
