#trophies

Arsene Wenger's idea is not only to play good football. It's to play good football to win. In my day, we knew that with our style we could hurt teams and win trophies too. But we did it our way, with the positional game, passing, movement. ↗

The way I look at myself, the biggest achievement in my eyes - forget winning trophies or scoring in World Cups - is that I'm still at a top club playing at a really high standard having been almost two different players. ↗

Awards are not the only markers of success; I don't judge myself just based on them. I believe that each cinema-goer has his own mental trophies. ↗

Award trophies, as opposed to letting the players define and claim their own. Ultimately, pay them to play so that their activity not only resembles work but is work. ↗

So many of today's programs are about trophies and jackets, and we think that's a big mistake. ↗

All I know is that I've wasted all these years looking for something, a sort of trophy I'd get only if I really, really did enough to deserve it. But I don't want it anymore, I want something else now, something warm and sheltering, something I can turn to, regardless of what I do, regardless of who I become. Something that will just be there, always, like tomorrow's sky. That's what I want now, and I think it's what you should want too. But it will be too late soon. We'll become too set to change. If we don't take our chance now, another may never come for either of us. ↗

When there's so much left to do, why spend your time focusing on things you've already done, counting trophies or telling stories about the good old days? ↗

If a nation's literature declines, the nation atrophies and decays. ↗

My old coach used to say that if you were in it for the match, if you were in it for the trophies, you were in it for the wrong reasons. ↗

The only way I'd have gone was if it would better my career, I would not have gone just for the money. The point was to go to a club that could win trophies. ↗
