QUOTES BY Raphael Varan


Playing with France is the challenge of playing with one of the national teams with the greatest football histories.

I understand that you always want to improve.

I remember that in 2017, when we won everything, we started the pre-season badly, with defeats.

Our objective is to win - always to win.

Having the ball means creating chances and scoring goals.

If I know where I want to play before I receive the ball, it's easier. It's more fluid.

Zidane has tried to get me to improve. Anticipating, reading the play, putting myself in the defensive balance, I know how to do all this. So he expects the same finesse in an attacking sense.

I think I felt ready and I really wanted to go to Real Madrid. Some are ready and others aren't. I thought about it carefully and I made the right decision.

There are some things you gain with experience, but age isn't important to me.
