“People make mistakes in life and in football all the time.”

“If you fail doing one thing, then learn the lesson and move on and find something else.”

“I can see what goes on defensively in a game, but 80 or 90 yards away, you can have no idea about the attack or how someone scored. I guess it's once a goalkeeper, always a goalkeeper.”
