Paul Scholes Quotes - Page 2

• He was magnificent; very clever with outstanding technique. He could pass the ball over five yards or fifty; he could see things to set up other people; he could shoot and he could score goals. If you gave me Paul Scholes and ten others, I would be happy. I would tell them to give him the ball and then we would have a good team.

• Todavía tengo en casa la camiseta de Paul Scholes, que intercambié con él una vez. Cuando estaba en el Liverpool era uno de los jugadores que más me gustaban. Quizá en Inglaterra no se le valora tanto como debería por el estilo de fútbol que se practica allí y porque mantiene un perfil bajo. Tal vez habría sido más valorado en España, donde centrocampistas como él forman parte del "ideal". Los aficionados españoles lo valoran mucho y yo lo admiro muchísimo.

• For me, Paul Scholes has been the best midfield player in the Premier League. By a mile. He has the lot. He scores and creates goals, he can pass the ball, he can head it, and rounds all this off with a competitive streak.

• The best illustration I can give of his talent is that at Manchester United there was always a possession drill in training designed to develop our passing ability, which might be three players against another three players, or six versus six, or nine versus nine. But no matter what the numbers were, the side with Paul Scholes on their team would always win by keeping the most possession.

• Si echamos la vista atrás y hablamos de leyendas del fútbol, no cabe duda de que él está entre ellas. Veinte trofeos desde 1994. Parece que cada vez es mejor. He tenido el honor de jugar a su lado. Los cuatro años que he jugado a su lado, es el mejor jugador, uno de los primeros nombres en la hoja de equipo del entrenador. Es una leyenda. Ya no hay suficientes jugadores como Paul Scholes para mi gusto. El término "leyenda" se utiliza demasiado, pero este tipo está a la altura de los mejores.

• Rooney is one of the best players in the world and I love watching him play. But if you had to pick out only one, then for their history and for all that they have achieved it would have to be Paul Scholes or Ryan Giggs. They are two shining examples for any player.

• No dudo en poner un nombre a la encarnación de todo lo que creo que es lo mejor del fútbol. Es Paul Scholes. Jugadores como Denis Law y George Best, con los que tanto disfruté como compañeros de equipo, y ahora, por último, jugadores a los que he seguido de cerca en la era de Alex Ferguson. Y en muchos sentidos, Scholes es mi favorito. Me encanta su ingenio y su convicción de que encontrará la manera de ganar, de dar el pase de la muerte o de producir la volea decisiva.

• For years Paul Scholes has been one of the best players in the Premiership. He's incredible. He has always been under-rated throughout his career. He's a team player, a one and two-touch footballer who makes good decisions on the pitch and makes his team play.

• Es más consciente de lo que ocurre a su alrededor en la frontal del área que la mayoría de los jugadores. De niño siempre tenía el don de llegar al área justo en el momento adecuado, pero está demostrando ser igual de eficaz desde fuera del área, porque aprovecha su experiencia de la manera correcta. No importa a quién piense incorporar a mi centro del campo, Paul Scholes estará incluido, como lo estaría en cualquier equipo del mundo.

• When I was in Dutch and Italian football, a lot of people looked at Manchester United, and when they were asked who was the best player, a lot of them said Paul Scholes. Much of what he did looked simple, but actually it was quite hard. Invariably he controlled the ball instantly and passed it straight on, keeping the game moving. He made inch-perfect passes across the pitch; he saw the gaps and could play the ball through them. So it didn't surprise me that so many top-class international footballers recognized his quality.

• For me as a midfielder, Paul Scholes was the best possible teacher. When people ask me my hardest opponent, I always refer to Paul in training. Facing him improved me so much because his astonishing quality gave me something to aim for. He never gave the ball away, he could nutmeg you, he could make you look a fool, his range of passing was remarkable, his touch and awareness, everything was top notch. Seeing Scholesy made you stand back and realize you had a long way to go, because he was awesome.
