soccer football waiting
I can't stay in the box and wait for the ball. I can't - I would die.
may arsenal
I may be French, but I'm playing for Arsenal.
dad mean tough
It was tough at the time but when I was younger, my Dad. I would say my Dad, because without him I wouldn't have been here. I mean it was tough for me because he was really demanding. With him, it was never enough, you know, anything I did was never enough.
sports feelings balls
But, at the moment, when I step on the pitch, when I have the ball I know it's mine. It's just a feeling.
giving giving-back imagine
At the beginning, you are 20 and you can just imagine... don't get me wrong, but having money. Then you realise that it's not only about you and what you are doing but that you have to give back.
kings feet balls
King would get the ball off you without you even noticing he's the only defender in England who doesn't hold onto you, and he sometimes still gets the ball off my feet easily.
difficult
It's difficult to talk about Pele because I didn't see him.
garden england stadiums
I would love this place to be my garden. (on Arsenal's old stadium)
people goal scoring-goals
People always see the goals, and for me, strikers are not only about scoring goals.
golf play feet
And I don't really like golf. I know a lot of English footballers play, but I know that if I go with the club to play, sooner or later I will end up trying to smash the ball with my foot.
differences balls moments
I take the ball, I go wide, I cross, I shoot, but when the moment beckons, I am ready to make the difference.
wenger clubs never-forget
I’ll never forget the club or him I don’t see Arsenal without Arsene Wenger
home thinking games
When I go home, sometimes, even when I had an amazing game, I always think about what I missed.
lying heart remember-you
Arsenal is in my blood as well as my heart. I will always, always, always remember you guys. I said I was going to be a Gooner for life and I did not lie because when you are a Gooner, you will always be a Gooner. This club is in my heart and will remain in my heart forever.
