When I was a child I had a dream to become a football player. I always played as I played when I was a child. I tried to improve. I never dreamt of becoming a professional football player, I dreamed just to play with the best players in the best team. I never dreamed to be paid to play. I would have paid to play an FA Cup Final in front of 80,000 people in Wembley. I just tried to play the wonderful game that football is. So, I hope young players will still have this dream.

I don't want to be in Terminator. I don't want to go to Hollywood.

You need a particular talent only to want to please. I don't have this talent.

We won the European Championship last September and now the world title. That is some year for French beach soccer! Now comes the hard part. We have to keep improving and that's difficult because it's tough to do better than winning a world title.

Being French, to me, is first and foremost being a revolutionary.

Without spontaneity in any sport, you cannot succeed.

We can be eaten by techniques and forget what we have inside of us.
