I am proud of where I come from and I will never forget the people I grew up with.

Everything I have achieved in football is due to playing football in the streets with my friends

We were a family who had come from nothing and now we had respect from French people of all sorts.

I have a need to play intensely every day, to fight every match hard.

My father is an Algerian, proud of who he is and I am proud that my father is Algerian.

If Giggs was French, Pires or myself would have been on the bench.

You rarely come across the complete footballer, but Scholes is as close to it as you can get. One of my regrets is that the opportunity to play alongside him never presented itself during my career.
