I say it s not necessary to run so much. Soccer is a game that s played with the brain. I want players to learn how to think fast. I want them to learn how to run little, but run smart. You need to be in the right place at the right time, not too early, not too late. - Johan Cruyff, Barcelona and The Netherlands
