Thank you very much.
Beautiful is what is transformed into art.
Art is supposed to get you out of your daily world that is quite tough.
It's boring sometimes, repetitive, you know, and I think art transports you in a different world.
And that's what football can do and sport can do in general.
Well, for me, it's as well that you want always to improve, you know, because in art, perfection doesn't exist.
And basically, sport is to do...
With your body, what your brain wants.
And that's a specific intelligence that not everybody has.
So people who have that quality to express what their brain wants, you need to encourage them to express what they can give.
And most of the time, you need somebody who helps you to do that.
And I'm the guy.
Not only can I help individuals to do that, but I can help a collectivity to do that.
It was because when I was a kid in my village we had no television.
The first television we had at our home was when I was 14.
So to watch a football game we had to go to the school and watch in black and white, bring one pound and we could watch a football game.
The football game won per year, can you believe that today?
It was the FA Cup final.
So I was a little kid, 7, 8 years.
or nine years old.
