A biography for Ole Gunnar Solskjaerhasn’t been written yet.
“The more mistakes you make, the more you learn.”
“I have always been a dad who is there because, in football, you have time.”
“Everything isn't exactly what it seems from the outside.”
“When your kids disappoint you, you tell them off; you don't give them some chocolate, do you? You treat players similar to how you treat your kids, really.”
“You can never be sure what is around the corner.”
“That's the most important thing in football: you need to take chances when you get them.”
“I'm the manager of Cardiff City Football Club, and I'm not to lay down and feel sorry for myself.”
“You want all the money inside football. We do not have a bottomless pit of money. There are constraints. That's why some deals I have said no to because of the finances of them.”
“Every single player needs that eye-to-eye connection, I'm sure. They want to know what is expected of them, but it's not just me telling them what to do. It's about asking, 'What are your strengths? What do you feel? What can you give to the team?'”
“One of my favourite players is, of course, Marcus Rashford.”
“When you are a professional, you go into the next game wanting to win.”
“You have got to be one step ahead, as a striker, to create that space you need. Apart from the ball, when you're a striker, it is space that's your best friend. You need space.”
“It's important players focus on what they have to do, while the fans keep believing and stay behind us.”
“I think the Swansea-Cardiff rivalry is good.”
“I wouldn't be in football if I was nervous. You have to look forward to games.”
“When you turn round games, that's the best feeling you have in games.”
“I work to plan long-term and try to earn results short-term.”
“The one way of getting better is by practising - both on and off the pitch.”
“My best ability was in just being ready when I was called upon. Then, I would be fit, and my legs would be light. If you sulk and are on the bench, and the gaffer calls you on, you are not ready because there's something going on in your head.”
“Whatever competition you're in, you want to win.”
