A football team represents a way of being, a culture.

I was the classic midfield organiser who could also score goals.

I'm a well-educated person. I don't return the gift

What Zidane can do with a football, Maradona could do with an orange.

I was never a prisoner to my footballing status.

What differences were there between Maradona and Platini?

I gave everything in my career so I have no regrets at all.

In any case, you can't turn back the clock.

It is a game before a product, a sport before a market, a show before a business.

The street is the best way to become a good footballer.

For me, football is more about making the right pass at the right time.

For example, Michael Jordan earns $100million a year but continues to play basketball and remains a modest human being.

You know the Dutch, they're always a bit funny... some of them.

Sometimes, in the dressing room, I think I am in Hollywood.

It's quite possible that Beckham suffers from a mental block at big tournaments

The most important thing however is the money. What use would it be to us, to have a a mighty stadium but a useless team, because we couldn't afford anything better?

George Best was one of the most talented players of all time and probably the best footballer who never made it to a major world final.

What FC Bayern has become is thanks to Gerd Mueller.

Messi is a genius. He has everything. When I watch him, I see a player who is very, very skilful, very clever and his left foot is like Diego Maradona's.
