Messi is just an anomaly: he can dribble, he can score, he can pass, he has the vision, he understands the game.
I played for Barcelona, for Ajax, where it's important to develop and integrate young talent.
The Champions League is so difficult, It's like a lottery: sometimes you're just unlucky.
Gerrard is passionate, and he leads from the front. At times, he has lifted Liverpool to great wins almost single-handedly.
In management, everything is different. If you look at successful coaches, they always need time to kickstart something.

When someone makes a racist remark, that doesn't make him a racist, but you have to say, 'This the line. You've crossed it, and you have to apologize' - not only to the person who has been hurt but also the people who live with that racial abuse almost all their lives. I think that's unacceptable if you don't.
