I am supposed to set an example to young players.

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

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.

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.

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

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

Music was important. Football was the easy part.
