I enjoyed playing for the national team, the French national team, because I think France gave me a lot and gave my family a lot, so to wear the French national team shirt was really good, and I wore it with pride.
Congratulations to the Italian people for winning the World Cup. ... They won after France's best player got ejected for head butting. That's the closest anyone in a French uniform has come to combat in 60 years.
It's normal that people expect more from the French team.
For me, I have always thought a squad comes before everything. I always make decisions for the good of the French national team.
For me, ever since the South Africa World Cup, the French team is part of the past.
I'm not going to give up. If people think I'm going to give up the French national team, they're mistaken. I'm still here, and I'm still hungry for trophies.
Starting games with the French national team helped me bounce back when it was getting difficult with Arsenal.
The horizon is a little bit blocked with Didier Deschamps as manager. I respect his choices, but the French national team doesn't make me happy any more.
I have always said the French team is the most important thing that has happened to me. I thought deeply about it and I want to play for France again.
My dream was to play for France. It's been my dream since childhood.
French football must go as far as possible in the Champions League.
I love playing for France and I feel pride every time I am called up for the team.
For me the French team belongs to the past.
