I don't like the fact that there can be clans within a team. A team has to be unified!
Quote by -Robert Pires
Everyone benefits from a strong Paris Saint-Germain - the club itself, the French league and also the Champions League.
Quote by -Robert Pires
When I joined Arsenal in 2000 I learned a lot from Dennis Bergkamp. He was the mind of the team and he made things look easy.
Quote by -Robert Pires
People think this is easy to be a football player. They only see the summit but they don't see the ascent, which is far longer and tougher than the career peaks. And there are so few of us to reach the summits. Some might earn €305,000 per month but there are a lot more for whom life is hell.
Quote by -Robert Pires
Arsenal needs Arsene Wenger, but also Arsene Wenger needs Arsenal. For me, he will die at Arsenal. He is like Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United. After you think about Ferguson and United, you then think about Wenger and Arsenal.
Quote by -Robert Pires
I love Villarreal. They are closer to my heart than any other club in Spain.
Quote by -Robert Pires
In Spain, we always talk about Madrid and Barca for the title and that is normal because they are the two teams with the most history.
Quote by -Robert Pires
If you play in France, Spain or Italy it is not the same football, especially when you play in England. Every game is very difficult.
Quote by -Robert Pires
It was a pleasure to play under Arsene Wenger. He was a great manager and I personally thank him for everything as he brought a new philosophy to the Premier League.
Quote by -Robert Pires
For me, the goals were not important, but instead to lift some silverware at the end of the season. That is the objective for a footballer.
Quote by -Robert Pires
When you haven't played for more than six months, scoring is the ultimate pleasure. It's ecstasy.
Quote by -Robert Pires
When people ask me the best player I played with, I always say Dennis Bergkamp. He just had so much class.
Quote by -Robert Pires
You cannot compare the way someone plays for a club and for a national team. At a club, you spend every day with the same players. In a national team, you are with your team-mates for only a few days.
Quote by -Robert Pires
I never expected to adapt so quickly, but if you are a foreigner it's up to you to adapt to English football because you can't change it. I think I've achieved something in the way I adapted.
Quote by -Robert Pires
Mbappe always performs whether that's in Ligue 1, Champions League or with the France national team.
Quote by -Robert Pires
For me, the best thing about being a footballer is that indescribable feeling when you are on a pitch doing your job. I don't know what to say - it's what I love.
Quote by -Robert Pires
When you are an ex-footballer you want to stay with the one team and one club, and Arsenal is my club.
Quote by -Robert Pires
It would be very good news for the Premier League if Zidane moved to England.
Quote by -Robert Pires
If you look at La Liga, you will see how important the academies are when it comes to producing new talent. Academies play a major role and that is something India should understand.
Quote by -Robert Pires
It's very tough in the U.K. For me, it was totally different. English football and French football are not the same.
Quote by -Robert Pires
All the coaches I've had have been important for me, whether it was Joel Muller at Metz, Rolland Courbis at Marseille, Manuel Pellegrini at Villarreal or Roger Lemerre with Les Bleus. All of them were important along the way, and each of them had faith in me and let me play.
Quote by -Robert Pires
I enjoyed India a lot. I learned a lot and came face to face with the poverty there, which is very, very tough. One thing's for sure: I no longer have the right to complain about anything. That's impossible now. But I discovered a beautiful country, fabulous and very welcoming people, and the local cuisine.
Quote by -Robert Pires
Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry had more quality than Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus.
Quote by -Robert Pires
It's not in Wenger's philosophy to go back and sign former players when they are older.
Quote by -Robert Pires
In 2000 I was really close to sign for Real Madrid. I was in Belgium, playing the European Championship. I even took a picture with the Real Madrid shirt because all the parties thought that it was a done deal. But Wenger called me several times and convinced me to sign for Arsenal instead.
Quote by -Robert Pires
I started playing with my dad, and football was my dream forever. Step by step, I learnt a lot. I worked really hard, and finally when I was eighteen, I signed my first professional contract.
