I was playing the best football of my career at the time, finishing top scorer in Italy three year's running. There were other good players around but I think I was the best at that time.

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

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

Footballing qualities can be developed, but Stoichkov is a player with character and inborn talent. I've seen him produce fantastic plays even from impossible situations... I couldn't believe it, when I heard that I used to be his idol.

A football match should be decided by an action of play. Not some contrived process whose end result is to mark a fine player such as Bossis, Baresi or Baggio for the rest of his career.

At Euro '92 itself, we bowed out to the eventual winners, Denmark, in our final group match.

I gave everything in my career so I have no regrets at all.
