Pitches are all about winning. Here are a few quotes from coaches whose teams have won more than most.

“Players lose you games, not tactics.”   Brian Clough.

“The will to win is meaningless without the will to prepare.”  Joe Gibbs.

“I would rather play with ten men than wait for a player who is late for the bus.”  Jose Mourinho.

“If you do not believe you can do it then you have no chance at all.”  Arsene Wenger.

“Confidence comes from being prepared.”  John Wooden.

“Winning isn’t everything, but the will to win is everything.”  Vince Lombardi.

“It’s getting tickly now – squeaky-bum time, I call it.”  Sir Alex Ferguson.

And a favourite from a player not a coach:

“Whoever said “It’s not whether you win or lose that counts” probably lost.”  Martina Navratilova.
