dad drawn naturally
To say that my dad pushed me is an understatement. I was never naturally drawn to football.
enjoyed
I hope you have enjoyed watching as much as I have enjoyed taking part.
wenger clubs never-forget
I’ll never forget the club or him I don’t see Arsenal without Arsene Wenger
plans
I don't like to plan anything.
scared sometimes young
Sometimes being young and confident is better than being old with experience...when I was young I wasn't scared about anything
retirement stopping retiring
No, because retiring is stopping. If I wanted to stop, I would have stopped.
easy guys lose love mind players scoring sometime
The thing is, don't get me wrong, I still love scoring and I hate to lose but now I see myself more as making players play better. Sometime you do what you have to do and you have to perform, that is still there, but in my mind I am thinking about making the guys around me play better and that is never an easy thing to do.
people
So few people recognize me, I can do what anyone does.
arrive sure takes wear
That is something that I always want to do when I arrive somewhere is to know about the culture of the country, about the club and make sure I know what it takes to wear the jersey.
followed huge since tony
I've followed the NBA religiously since I was a kid, and now because of my boy Tony Parker, I'm a huge Spurs fan.
love
I am more than proud to be European. I love Europe, I love France, but I have an American mentality, and I don't know why. The way I see things, the way I talk, I'm the kind of person who, if I want to say something, I will say it - sometimes in Europe, it's not always what you need to do.
