My toughest opponent? Scholes of Manchester. He is the complete midfielder.

It's the first time it's happened to me and maybe the last. It's a strange sensation, not normal for me. I can't remember scoring three goals, even when I was a kid.

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.

It's only natural to want to select your best players and there is no doubt for me that Paul Scholes is still in a class of his own. He's almost untouchable in what he does. I never tire of watching him play.

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

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

It's true, pressure is something that goes with football nowadays. You need to accept it, and everything that it involves - the good and the bad.
