Great thread and I hope my quotes are good

loooooool

Reporter- "Who do you look up to and inspires you?"

Michale Phelps- " Angel Di Maria"

Di MAria: “God gives gifts to everyone, ... Some can write, some can dance. He gave me the skill to dive and I am making the most of it.”

"When God gives you no fouls, pretend you were fouled anyway", Di Maria

Di Maria: “My game is based on improvisation. Often a forward does not have the time to think too much. You have a second, rarely more, to decide whether to dribble, shoot or dive to the right or left. It is instinct that gives the orders.”

Absolute disgrace this guy.
