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

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.

A Mediterranean city is really my culture.

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.

Scholes is undoubtedly the best midfielder of his generation.

We must not let ourselves get driven off course, no matter what happens we must stick to our natural game.

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