Everything Iniesta does impresses me. He could even play as goalkeeper. He’s magical.
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.
I am proud of where I come from and I will never forget the people I grew up with.
Sometimes words are harder than blows.
It doesn’t matter how many times you win an award, it is always very special.
I was lucky to come from a difficult area. It teaches you not just about football but also life. There were lots of kids from different races and poor families. People had to struggle to get through the day.
To be recognised by a whole country is incredible. This is massive.
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.
I am first of all from La Castellane and Marseille.
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.
We are well aware of the task ahead of us in what will be a very difficult match but which we all dream of playing.
The only important thing I have to say is that my father never fought against his country.
We were a family who had come from nothing and now we had respect from French people of all sorts.
The England team must always be respected. They always fight to the end.
Messi is the Mozart of football.
Zidane is unique. The ball flows with him. He is more like a dancer than a football player.
Obviously fashion is a completely different world from football.
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.
Music was important. Football was the easy part.
In France, everybody realized that God exists, and that he is back in the French international team. God is back, there is little left to say.
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.
