Team Goals Quotes

1. "Managing can be more discouraging than playing, especially when you're losing because when you're a player, there are at least individual goals you can shoot for. When you're a manager all the worries of the team become your worries."
Author: Al Lopez

2. "If a team is to reach its potential, each player must be willing to subordinate his personal goals to the good of the team."
Author: Bud Wilkinson

3. "I prefer to win titles with the team ahead of individual awards or scoring more goals than anyone else. I'm more worried about being a good person than being the best football player in the world. When all this is over, what are you left with? When I retire, I hope I am remembered for being a decent guy."
Author: Lionel Messi

4. "During the game, we find endless ways of saying that our team needs to score goals while at the same time not letting any in: ‘We need a goal here,' ‘We don't want to let one in now,' and so on. (‘Here' and ‘now' are the words intended to indicate a keen understanding of the complex nature of the particular game, but in truth they mean nothing. Teams always need to score, and never want to let one in.)"
Author: Nick Hornby

5. "Absurdly, I haven't yet got around to saying that football is a wonderful sport, but of course it is. Goals have a rarity value that points and runs and sets do not, and so there will always be that thrill, the thrill of seeing someone do something that can only be done three or four times in a whole game if you are lucky, not at all if you are not. And I love the pace of it, its lack of formula; and I love the way that small men can destroy big men … in a way that they can't in other contact sports, and the way that t he best team does not necessarily win. And there's the athleticism …, and the way that strength and intelligence have to combine. It allows players to look beautiful and balletic in a way that some sports do not: a perfectly-timed diving header, or a perfectly-struck volley, allow the body to achieve a poise and grace that some sportsmen can never exhibit."
Author: Nick Hornby

6. "Our team has a lot of talent. I hope that soon we will break out with four or five goals and avoid overtime."

Author: Roger Ebert

9. "In that match for Holland I asked for a big responsibility, I got it and I dealt with it. I played well, I scored goals and the team qualified for the Euro 2004 finals. It was a big night and an important moment for Holland."
Author: Ruud Van Nistelrooy

10. "To me, the simplest gift that a husband or a wife can do for their partner is to remind them of their precious visions, goals and dreams. What a gift that is to have a voice of reason right in your corner when you sometimes need a little nudge to get back on track. To have a team player to cheer you on and to support your efforts is indeed a massive present from the universe. Whomever has such a gift should surely treasure and protect it for all its worth. It's worth is invaluable to the world."
Author: Sereda Aleta Dailey

11. "I have a lot of expectations and a lot of goals I want to fulfill, but the biggest dream is still to make the Olympic team for London."
