“Arsene always gives freedom to his players. To have that freedom is go...” — Patrick Vieira Quote

“Arsene always gives freedom to his players. To have that freedom is good, but if you can give them the freedom and respect the tactical aspect of the game, it will be even better.”

“When I told Arsene Wenger I was leaving, he said to me, 'I have £25m to spend on a few players.' My answer was, 'Obviously, Mr. Wenger, you are not shopping in Harrods. That will only buy you one good player.' Now I have been proved right.”

“I'm a good listener, and I take into consideration everything people tell me, but at the same time, I believe my eyes as well as the experience I had as a player. So players who underperform? There has to be a reason why... my job is for them to perform.”

“For me, if you play at Anfield, it is not a tactical game.”

“You can always improve with the team. There are tactical things, finishing in front of goal, speed as well.”

“I'm tactical, and I have a lot of heart - something that you don't see when you watch a lot of fights.”
