You can't wake up one morning and say, 'Right, now I'm going to be a leader.' I think it is something that's in you, that you're born with, and which develops. Some people have that character, that personality and it comes naturally. You can't force it. It has to be authentic and natural. Innate.

It is always good to be careful or vigilant.

I always make decisions for the good of the team of France.

An invitation to the national team is not a declaration of love.

Quality has no age.

Being prudent does not mean being fearful.

While there is life, there is hope.

It's not just about the words you use, but the way you use them, and the message that puts over. Also your face too and the way you project your message. If you're telling the group to stay calm, be good, and you have beads of sweat dripping down your forehead, you're in trouble.

Nobody knows what will happen in the future.

I'm not immune to disciplinary problems and it's up to me to make strong choices. It's my responsibility.

You always learn, especially in failure.

Sport represents a union of diversity.

Sport is a way of uniting people.

We can't hide from the truth.

Benzema is a team player, he is very important for us. He always wants to score with us, but scoring is not everything to him.

You can always criticise people, the players are aware we can improve in a number of areas.

Competition is for everyone.

What I can say is that I feel very good as the national team coach. I really enjoy it.

The key thing is knowing how to adapt. Adapting to the group that you have at your disposal; adapting to the place where you're working; adapting to the local environment. This is crucial: adaptability.

Look, I was a water carrier, I don't reject my image. I didn't have the pretension to think that I could change a match by myself.

My departure from Juve remains a regret, a mistake that taught me one thing - never make an immediate decision, at the end of the season, when everyone is 'boiling.' I have paid for such an experience.

It happens to attackers that they have a longer or shorter period where they are not always efficient.

There are a lot of Kylians, but only one Kylian Mbappe.

Kylian is able to do extraordinary things. Look at his stats. He is efficient.

We do not do everything perfectly, but the intentions are there.

What's important is you mustn't focus too early and try to play the game before it actually begins.

Playing an ultra-defensive side is very difficult.

For a player or coach, there is nothing better than the World Cup.

Sometimes it doesn't take much to slip back into bad habits.

I wish Kylian to have the same career as Thierry Henry.

When things are tough, French athletes tend to pull out great performances.

Even when things are going well, there are always aspects that can be improved.

We can always improve everything.

Managing players is harder these days because of the arrival of new technology. They are all using it in their spare time so they become more isolated and selfish. They share less, they talk less. They have apps, their phones and the Internet but they are less used to talking to people.

Nowadays you never see players playing cards. We used to sit around playing cards together all the time. But I can't fight that, I have to adapt and change.

For Euro 2016, we must remain humble, but we have the ambition to go as far as possible.

With the support of all our fans, we have to be stronger than our opponents.

To build experience, you have to play.

We often compare footballers with players of the past.

We must not dive into tackles but force the opponent to run so that maybe they will crack late in the game.

We must condition the players. They need to get into the right frame of mind in the hours leading up the game.

Brazil is the land of football. They have a lot of passion.

Brazil remains a reference to the sport.

When you're a coach there's no age limit. It's the results that make you last.

It's quite easy in football when you can bang it into the top corner.

Paul Pogba can do everything but he cannot do everything all alone.

Having fresh players is important.

There are always crucial, decisive players in every side who make the difference and do not necessarily depend on others.

When you play Argentina and Messi, there are several ways to limit his impact, at least.

Messi plays in Spain, we know he makes a difference, but if you've played against him then maybe you're aware of situations that can repeat on the pitch. But Messi is Messi, with his talent, he may send a spark with very little and make the difference. He is unpredictable.
