Music was important. Football was the easy part.

The only important thing I have to say is that my father never fought against his country.

The French team has given me so much and I want to help it. I told myself I did not have much time left in soccer, and I want to profit from it to the maximum.

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

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

I love Madrid. I am happy to be here. I have been here three years and hope to be here longer. But I am proud of where I come from and never forget the people I grew up with.

I have always said the French team is the most important thing that has happened to me. I thought deeply about it and I want to play for France again.
