French footballer
Player for Montpellier (Fr), Naples (Ita), Nmes (Fr), Saint-tienne (Fr), AJ Auxerre (Fr), Barcelone (Esp), (OM) Marseille (Fr) and now Inter Milan (Ita)
Was defender for the French soccer team
Played for France in the 1998 FIFA World Cup.
It is only in the second half of my career that I have been a major,player. The first half of my career was very quiet and normal.
You knew pretty early he and [David] Trezeguet were major footballers.
You win the World Cup, you win the Euro, so people are more interested,in football than before. Football is the most played sport in France.
When you win, you stay a lot of time together. You know the player but,when you go through an experience like 1998, you get to know the man.
I think there are five teams that could win Euro 2004: France, England,Italy, Portugal - and one surprise, because in a tournament there is,always a surprise. England and France both have big players but the,only important thing when they meet will be the result, because the,first game a team plays in a tournament is always crucial. If you win,or draw, okay, but if you lose there is huge pressure on you, because,you then have two matches and you have to win both of them. .
