The team which I led to the 1992 European Championship Finals is the only one in the history of the entire competition to have won every single one of its qualifying matches.

The street is the best way to become a good footballer.

I began by playing for the biggest club in the Lorraine region, went on to the biggest club in France and ended up with the biggest in the world.

If a FIFA World Cup tournament had been held every year between 1982 and 1986, France would have won two or three.

A football team represents a way of being, a culture.

We were the best team in the world: European champions in 1984, we qualified without a hitch and 86 was to be the swan song for a very experienced side.

Some games you win, some you lose, and some you draw.
