"Some people think that football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that."

"There's dice in chess?!?!? No one ever told me. No wonder I'm so bad at it."

Freddy Ljungburg said:

"I usually don't have ***. Not on the same day. I say "no, thanks". I guess that, mentally, I want to keep the feeling in my feet and that's why. I think the feeling sort of disappears out of your feet if you have *** before. I have tried before and my feet felt like concrete when you are supposed to kick the ball."

I'm not sure he's doing it right.
