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

I once cried because I had no shoes to play soccer, but one day, I met a man who had no feet.

There was huge pressure, especially before the big games. Not many people believed in us, but we believed in ourselves. We wanted to do something good and we did.

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

Ronaldinho is a special player, but Thierry Henry is probably technically the most gifted footballer ever to play the beautiful game.

Messi is the Mozart of football.

I don't know if we are the best team in the world. I am lucky to be playing alongside some of the best players around. It's a dream.
