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.

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.

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

I was never a prisoner to my footballing status.

Whenever I was on the pitch, I always tried to win.

For me football is more about making the right pass at the right time.

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.
