What? We can't beat Arsenal? My team-mates were insecure and that shocked me, I had come from Real Madrid where I won everything.

I'm desperate to get to another World Cup and I feel ready for the battle.

I decided to return because of Zidane. One day Zizou called me and asked if I'd be prepared to play for France again. I just laughed because I thought it was a wind up.

There aren't many players around who can organise the game from in front of the defence. You have to be fast, work hard and know how to read the game.

Learning from the best is easy and it isn't just footballers, coaches should also learn.

I know I want to be at the top level one day when I am prepared for it.

When one shows good leadership, good mentality and is a team-mate, all the others follow him, 100 per cent.

The Greeks play very well on the counter,

Now a good team plays to make it difficult for me. A player comes for me and stays with me when I bring the ball forward to give it to a midfielder or striker. It is my job but it is difficult sometimes in the match.

Some people may have expected us to drop points at Liverpool or get beaten. We didn't do that, we won emphatically in the end which sends out a statement. A lot of talk comes when you're the champions. I remember back to Man United and Arsenal winning the league and people do have a go when you're top. The art of it is to be strong enough to use that to motivate and we did that. We showed our character and our strength.
