The moral values I've learnt in my life I've learnt through football.
The real revelation of a player's character is not in his social life but in how he plays. In my social life I can hide my real personality.
I think in the future we need to look at our youth department to provide more players for the first team think it is important for a club to have a good amount of players that have roots with the club and region.
I know how important it is to have a helping hand.
If somebody stamps on your head in that way, you wouldn't say, 'thank you very much' and turn the other cheek. Only Jesus Christ did that.
For a while, you could decide when you loan the player out whether he plays against you or not, and I always decided that he could play against us. But I must say I didn't get any protection from the media because when the player I loaned out scored against us, it's 'aaahhh, look at him, stupid...'
If you want to win a horse race, you need your horse to be 100%.
I don't kick dressing room doors, or the cat - or even journalists
Messi's like a PlayStation. He can take advantage of every mistake we make. He made the impossible possible. He has something exceptional. He has six or seven years in front of him, touchwood that nothing happens to him, and he can reach unbelievable levels.
In some ways England is more liberal than France, but I also find it more intrusive. But when you go abroad you have to accept the ways of where you live. I have to respect that.
The best football players in the world still earn very little money compared to people who really earn money.
I am still hopeful we can go through the season unbeaten - a frightening thought.
The background looks like a lot of red cards.
It's like you wanting to marry Miss World and she doesn't want you, what can I do about it? I can try to help you, but if she does not want to marry you what can I do?
