I am first of all from La Castellane and Marseille.

I was lucky to come from a difficult area. It teaches you not just about football but also life. There were lots of kids from different races and poor families. People had to struggle to get through the day.

I have never had the opportunity to play in England, so I know little about it.

We are well aware of the task ahead of us in what will be a very difficult match but which we all dream of playing.

It will be a physical encounter but we must not respond in kind.

I have decided to come back for Les Bleus.

The only important thing I have to say is that my father never fought against his country.

My passion for the game comes from the city of Marseille itself. Unfortunately I can’t go back there as much I want to because I play a lot here and abroad.

I have a need to play intensely every day, to fight every match hard.

We’ll do it, we’ll do it.

I love Madrid. I am happy to be here. I have been here three years and hope to be here longer. But I am proud of where I come from and never forget the people I grew up with.

I may have had a lot of luck in my life, but I still need to find a challenge in the game.

I’m very inspired by him-it was my father who taught us that an immigrant must work twice as hard as anybody else, that he must never give up.

To be recognised by a whole country is incredible. This is massive.

I have no message.

I am first of all from La Castellane and Marseille.

A Mediterranean city is really my culture.

It’s the first time it’s happened to me and maybe the last. It’s a strange sensation, not normal for me. I can’t remember scoring three goals, even when I was a kid.

I don’t know if we are the best team in the world. I am lucky to be playing alongside some of the best players around. It’s a dream.

We must not let ourselves get driven off course, no matter what happens we must stick to our natural game.

Music was important. Football was the easy part.

We were a family who had come from nothing and now we had respect from French people of all sorts.

The England team must always be respected. They always fight to the end.
