On its daily requirement …

In my head until I’m successful, until I become a great player, I won’t leave. I was not doing enough indoor work. I didn’t care what I ate. I did not realize that at Real, you should not only perform well for matches but also for everything that happened next (…) Me it came little by little. I became aware 3-4 years ago, at 30 years old.

On his difficult relationship with Mourinho

Mourinho was very hard but always behind me. The cat has become what he has become. He is a coach who counted but if we did not always agree.

On his profile not only a goalscorer

A number 9 has to score, I grew up with another football, doing dice passes, participating in the game. I like to score and get scored. I’d rather be a complete striker than a number 9 scorer. Anyone can score goals. Being complete is not for everyone.

On his winning return to the French team

The club allowed me to return to the selection. The France team was always in my head. It was a double motivation in club. At first it was difficult. But it allowed me to rest and to perform well with my club. You train with the young people, it’s difficult but I didn’t give up. We must not miss it. Others have more wild cards. This is normal, it is the high level. (…) I feel that I am unanimous when we travel by EDF (hotel, stadium), everyone is happy to see me, it motivates me even more. World Cup ? We have to win the next game, we have to qualify. Of course it’s a goal

On Mbappé and his coming to Real Madrid

We can all take penalties. It had been a while since he scored. He had missed against Switzerland. I wanted him to score. But it’s not just the goals. We’ve only been looking at the stats for a while and not what the player is doing on the pitch. I have a very good relationship with him. We get along well together. it shows on the ground. We talk about everything. I don’t even need to tell him about Real. Everyone would love to play it.
