The moral values I've learnt in my life I've learnt through football.

English players are as easy to coach. The problem is that the Premier League has the best players in the world, and statistically not all of them can be born in England. But we don't have enough English players: we are working very hard on it.

In some ways England is more liberal than France, but I also find it more intrusive. But when you go abroad you have to accept the ways of where you live. I have to respect that.

If you buy a man who is half dead, everybody may be happy off the field, but on the field you'll have major problems

I didn't know the English were good at swimming. I have been in this country for 12 years and I haven't seen a swimming pool.

The best football players in the world still earn very little money compared to people who really earn money.

When you represent a club it's about values and qualities, not about passports.
