Ronaldo is a fantastic player, one of the best I've ever seen, but he's been a bit unfortunate to be of the same generation as Messi. Consequently, they have to share the limelight.
Quote by -Jay-Jay Okocha
I'd say the player whose style most resembles mine would be Neymar. That's because I played with a sense of joy and you can see that he feels the same and really enjoys his own play. He doesn't play for himself or just to entertain the fans - he plays for his team. He uses his quality and skill for the good of the team.
Quote by -Jay-Jay Okocha
I'm friends with Igor Yanovsky from when we played together at PSG and he suggested a few Russian dishes to me. I really love borsch!
Quote by -Jay-Jay Okocha
It would be in my interest to have great players around me because, if you're playing with good players, it makes your job a lot easier.
Quote by -Jay-Jay Okocha
I'd be lying if I said I never had any issues with players but at some point you have to stamp your authority because if you're good at taking free-kicks, for example, they should let you take them.
Quote by -Jay-Jay Okocha
I think it is also the most demanding league; the pace of the game in the EPL is something else and rightly for me is maybe the best league in the world.
Quote by -Jay-Jay Okocha
Bolton was one of the relegation candidates when I got there but we took the club to another level and even had the opportunity to play for the first time in the Europa League.
Quote by -Jay-Jay Okocha
I wanted to play in the Premier League and Bolton offered me that opportunity at that time and that was why I signed for Bolton.
Quote by -Jay-Jay Okocha
I felt like a prisoner. In Qatar, you need a sponsor to get a work permit and you cannot leave the country unless you have an exit permit from your sponsor.
Quote by -Jay-Jay Okocha
After playing in England, going to a place where you have 40, 50 people at the stadium was no fun.
Quote by -Jay-Jay Okocha
So, we know that when the going gets tough, the tough get going. I still believe that is the good thing about Nigerian players. We can always spring up so many surprises.
Quote by -Jay-Jay Okocha
I am grateful to God for that because people can still identify me with something in Germany.
Quote by -Jay-Jay Okocha
I know there are millions of football fans who love this game, but can see the world outside it.
Quote by -Jay-Jay Okocha
I knew I was in charge when with the ball. But on the toughest defenders I faced, I would say that my African brothers were the ones. We have the same mentality and thought the same way. Osei Kuffour was the toughest of them all.
Quote by -Jay-Jay Okocha
There always be rumours. That is also part of the game because it is a global game and a massive business.
Quote by -Jay-Jay Okocha
I think it's always easier to sit on the outside and act as if you have the best solution.
Quote by -Jay-Jay Okocha
You can come up with whatever tactics you want as a coach but if you don't have the tools to execute you will struggle, and if you don't have willing players that are ready to commit to the cause than you will struggle.
Quote by -Jay-Jay Okocha
I believe that it is not worth it to train from Monday to Friday just to have 20 minutes on the pitch or sit on the bench on Saturday.
Quote by -Jay-Jay Okocha
People in Nigeria weren't happy that I went to Qatar. They said 'why did you go there of all places?' They missed watching me on television but sometimes you have to think about yourself and your future as well.
Quote by -Jay-Jay Okocha
My faith comes before anything. It has also taught me to respect and admire people for what they are and who they are.
Quote by -Jay-Jay Okocha
I always ask God if it is his will, and if so, then let it be. Whatever comes out of it I will accept it. That's the message I got and that's why I'm here at Hull.
Quote by -Jay-Jay Okocha
I think sometimes players must have a wake-up call before they realise they are back in African football.
Quote by -Jay-Jay Okocha
Aboutrika has done well with Egypt, winning the Nations Cup in Ghana, as well as helping Ahly win the Champions League for a record sixth time.
Quote by -Jay-Jay Okocha
I pray a lot and it has helped me throughout my whole career to stay calm and focused.
Quote by -Jay-Jay Okocha
It's always good to have more than one player who can take free-kicks or penalties.
Quote by -Jay-Jay Okocha
The way I learnt to play was to go out there and enjoy myself. I never thought I'd play professionally.
Quote by -Jay-Jay Okocha
Nigerian footballers who have played in Russia improved their ability here.
Quote by -Jay-Jay Okocha
Messi and Ronaldo have dominated world football for a decade and, given the nature of football, at a certain point the baton will have to pass to someone else. I think Neymar has a great chance of filling that role.
Quote by -Jay-Jay Okocha
I love showing off my skills on the pitch. You can make opposing players look stupid.
Quote by -Jay-Jay Okocha
I think I maximised my opportunity at Bolton, changing the mindset of the people from when I arrived till the time I left.
Quote by -Jay-Jay Okocha
I realized at a very young age that I had a gift to do special things with the ball.
