I love Rooney as a player. But I am a bit worried. Rooney can become the best player in the world at 25, 26, if he knows that in football you need to be strong, train hard, go to bed early, be careful what you are eating, what you are drinking, what you do in life.
Not really. I watched some Chelsea games and I don't really like the way they play.
It is enjoyable to make things visible which are invisible.
An artist in my eyes, is someone who can lighten up a dark room. I have never and will never find difference between the pass from Pele to Carlos Alberto in the final of the World Cup in 1970 and the poetry of the young Rimbaud, who stretches cords from steeple to steeple and garlands from window to window. There is in each of these human manifestations an expression of beauty which touches us and gives us a feeling of eternity.
When the seagulls follow the trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea.
Certainly take the advice of others but always, always be yourself.
You need a particular talent only to want to please. I don't have this talent.
I play with passion and fire. I have to accept that sometimes this fire does harm.
The ball is like a woman, she loves to be caressed.
Being French, to me, is first and foremost being a revolutionary.
I prefer to play and lose rather than win, because I know in advance I'm going to win.
I always planned to retire when I was at the top and at Manchester United I have reached the pinnacle of my career.
After his first training session in heaven, George Best, from the favourite right wing, turned the head of God who was filling in at left back. I would love him to save me a place in his team, George Best that is, not God.
I am very mistrustful of people who are constantly over intellectualising things. It kills passion. You have to allow yourself to lose control from time to time.
