作为世界第一运动，足球令无数人神魂颠倒。它的魅力不仅源于球员们在球场上的杰出表演，无孔不入的传媒对圈内人士场外言行不遗余力的报道也给人们带来了更多乐趣。以下是过去一年中足球名人们的一些精彩言论：

If you listen to Lothar, you will get the impression he had never lost one single match in his career. He wants a position on our club‘s board of management.

FC Bayern M?nchen general manager Uli Hoeness responds to criticism from the club‘s former captain Lothar Matthus.
