Helping people, moreover those coming from where you grew up, this is the most important. Not everyone can succeed, but at least you can to act for them.

Football is a sport that you play with a team and I think if you want to win the Ballon d'Or, you have to win the Champions League.

Playing with Neymar is something extraordinary.

I did not have the moments of so-called normal people during adolescence, like going out with friends, enjoying good times.

It will not matter, the pressure I always had it, I was mediated early, I learned to handle it, I got used to it and it's part of my environment.

Like the greats, you want to make your own story yourself, and not be a copy of another.

The greatest are an inspiration for all the kids who wake up early in the morning. Everyone watches you, is inspired by you and wants to be you. So you influence society. That's what being more than an athlete means. I want more kids to have that opportunity. I want everybody to start with the same chance.

Even if I am French, I have African roots. Helping African sport to develop is something that is very important to me. If I can use my reputation or other means to help, then I will.

It's one of the disadvantages of succeeding early. I missed simple things like having a driver's license. I think everyone has one. For so many people, a license is an obligation, but it wasn't for me. Licenses are often synonymous with autonomy, but I had my autonomy so early that I've had drivers at my disposal. It was never a priority.

I have learned that the biggest stars and the greatest players are the most humble ones, the ones who respect people the most.

I'm not going to revolutionise football. I'm in a system. You have to know how to respect it and to stay in place.

I try to work to improve myself every day and I try to do on the pitch what I do during the training sessions.

I always assume that one day someone will come and try to do better so you always have to go beyond your limits.

I would not say that what I do is extraordinary. I would just say that I am able to do what I know best. I would not say it's extraordinary.

We must stop feeling fear.

I have so much love for football, that I think is the reason why I seek refuge in training - I'm always guided by that desire to conquer, to win.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and Neymar are phenomenal.

There is no bad time to laugh. I always joke, even five minutes before a game. It's not bad to stay a little immature.

People come to the stadium to forget their lives for 90 minutes, and it's up to us to give them satisfaction; to get them out of their chairs and to fall asleep with stars in their eyes.

You should always focus on training and consider it a step forward. And each step is taking you higher and higher until you reach the top, which is where you should stay.

I am happy, and I am living the life I always dreamed of.

We must always set the bar high, otherwise we do not progress.

In football, everything is possible, from the moment you work and you believe in your qualities.

It's always a difficult situation to lose 1-0 away from home.
