My time with Arsenal at the beginning was very difficult. Adaptation is very important and it was very long for me. But Arsene Wenger helped me during five or six months.

We always talk about Messi, but without Iniesta Barcelona are a different team.

For Arsenal it's very important to have a player like Matteo Guendouzi. He's a good player and I think he can make a success with Arsenal. I hope so. He's a great player, he's very talented and he's very confident.

You know when you play for Arsenal, if you want to play for Arsenal, you need to be very, very good.

I consider myself a survivor.

Going to play in India at the end of my career was particularly special. I never thought I would get the chance to even visit India, let alone play football there.

Football is unique because it enables you to travel, learn about other cultures, meet new people and speak other languages.

It was very hard to finish my professional career. But it's OK, I really had played for as long as I could - I was 41 when I played my last match, in India, for FC Goa.

I've always loved playing football.

L'Etoile, in Soho, is the best French restaurant in London.

I never watched British television. I bought myself a satellite for French, Spanish and Portuguese TV, instead.

In France, the gastronomy is one of the best in the world. But when you move to England, everybody tells you to be careful about fish & chips. And avoid fried English breakfasts. I now know why.

I grew up in France, I learned football in France, but I found passion in England.

There were other propositions, even better financially, but I chose Olympiakos because of the Champions League.

I do not want anyone in Bolton to think that, if I play there, I am doing it for the wrong reasons.

Everyone here at Milan knows that my physical fitness is among the best in the squad; I always stand out in the tests.

Of course I'm not superhuman: I'm going to get tired; that's normal.

I was very excited about the possibility of playing for Spurs and in England. I would like to thank the club for their efforts in trying to sign me.

I have already told Neymar he could be the best player in the world, but I think that if he stays at PSG, he will never achieve that.

If Milan agrees to let me go, and if there's an agreement between the clubs, I would love to play for Madrid.

I'm not a machine. I don't see why people demand more of me than of other players.

I mean no offence, but we know that the French league is not the same as the Spanish or English league, where there's more difficulty.

I don't want to leave Barcelona. I'm very happy here, and I want to stay on.

World Cup is the most important title I have won. There is no doubt about that.
