- It is your job to do everything in your power to beat me by as much as you possibly can.
- If you do not genuinely try to annihilate me, you are robbing me of my chance to feel those emotions that make soccer worthwhile and memorable.
- You are responsible for taking me to my emotional brink. If you do not do that, you are cheating me.
- FORCE ME TO BRING MY BEST – or suffer the consequences.
- I will thank you – for pushing me beyond my limits, for making me feel that emotion, for forcing me out of my comfort zone, for making me a better player and a better teammate.
