We said a few things in Spanish and swapped shirts ... He had a smile to say 'that's the way it goes'.
He was a quiet man, Eric Cantona, but he was a man of few words...
We may be tired in the next few games, but I think we will benefit. This is the sort of work I want to do, I enjoy it and I like working hard.
There was the normal booing when I took corners but that's what the fans are there for - to give the opposition stick. It's nice when you're 1-0 up, you can smile - and you get a few smiles back sometimes
I've been around a long, long time, and it's hard for things to change overnight. It's going to take a few years.
After my last talks with them they said they wanted me to stay for a few more years.
I don't think we could have thrown anything more at them. They defended exceptionally and we just couldn't break them down. I expected a few goals but overall I wish them good luck because they are a good team.
I believe Roy Keane has a few more years left. I haven't spoken to him for a long time but I know the person he is.
The club have already expressed their feelings in wanting me to stay a few more years. I want to stay at Real Madrid -- but we'll see.
There are issues to consider but my personal life is fine, the team is doing well and I'm happy with the coach. Everything is coming together.
The players and a lot of people in England knew it before this tournament but now Europe is finding out about Wayne Rooney. And we're very lucky to have such a good player in our team.
Without doubt, I always said that I would not go into management,
Why don't the Argentinean players like me? I don't know,
Everyone's been so quick to say that I'm really thick or I haven't got a brain. People will think whatever they want to think.
