If it had come to a fight, Patrick [Vieira] could probably have killed me.

I think players tend to get anxious if they've not really done things properly - like eating, resting or training. If you're fully prepared you've got nothing to worry about - it's just a game of football.

I don't believe skill was, or ever will be, the result of coaches. It is a result of a love affair between the child and the ball.

Happiness is not being afraid.

I am not naive enough to settle for anything less than a reasonable valuation of my worth.

No celebrity bullshit,no self promotion,an amazingly gifted player who remained an unaffected human being

I hate losing in training, I'm always arguing, having a go at everybody. I take my job very seriously.'
