Alan Shearer and Le Tournoi de France winner on the Man City striker who at 21, has won the Premier League, the FA Cup, the Champions League, the Italian Cup plus Serie A on three occasions, not to mention firing his team to the Euro 2012 final
“It was obvious that we gave everything on the pitch, we gave it our best shot. I can honestly say that my soul was left on that pitch, and I think I need a few people to carry me off the pitch because I was literally dead.”
Ivan Rakitić after Croatia's exit from Euro 2012

"I have no problems sleeping at night. I don't lie awake watching videos or DVDs. And when I sleep I dream that we win, and when I wake up, I wake up happy. When the players rest... I'll rest too, and maybe I'll dream. That's the important thing with dreams - a wise man once said that if you're going to realise your dreams, you have to be awake. I hope in some way to experience us achieving our dreams."

"It is time we let go of these pathetic egos. If somebody is creating a mess [within the squad], I will stand up against them. We don't need a psychologist with the Dutch team, we are grown-up men. The ones who have a problem with other players or the manager should tell them face to face. That is the only psychology we need. We have to stop living on little islands."
Wesley Sneijder
"I have the right to speak out with 97 caps behind my name. If Holland want to win, the coach has to play me in the starting line-up. I am no longer prepared to deny I am finding this role really tough. Do you know how frustrated I feel? I feel like a young dog that is dying to get out but is caged in."
