Football - 100 quotes around (Mikel Etxarri)

'I value Mikel enormously. He has provided much more knowledge than people know about him. Furthermore I like to remember the gratitude that is in his demeanor. He never hid any of his football insights, all his findings were shared with everyone, he didn’t show that paternity zeal that authorship awakens in creators. No. He is expansive. He puts his knowledge at everyone’s service. He shows everything. This made it easy for him to be someone who was often plagiarized, or often quoted, and I am among the plagiarizers. As he reflected a lot, he built new concepts, unprecedented semantics for football, a highly personal language, very much his own. I have things that I have only heard from him, and that I repeat. This is a path I walked very often. And with great honor.'
