To me, attacking football happens when Makelele gets the ball and passes it to the central defender who passes it to the right-back who comes forward and judges the situation. If he can do something he passes forward or runs with the ball, if not he gives it back to Makelele who builds the attack again. That is attacking football. In England attacking football is giving the ball to Makelele and having him hit it forward no matter what, even if everybody is marked.

You have to work hard AND well. There are a lot of people who work hard but not well.

But I think it's more normal for my team to have no success than it is to win two consecutive European cups.

If Ashley Cole is ready we have 15 players for the final. I'll have to choose between Hilario, who's not bad playing forward or I'll bring in one of the kids.

You see how Spanish, Italians, Portuguese play football. I don't say they are perfect, I say English football has a few things to learn from them in the same way they have a lot of things to learn from English football.

It's a pity we can't play in two or three days as I like to play straight away after a bad game

Please don't call me arrogant, but I'm European champion and I think I'm a special one.
