Aymeric Laporte

I am learning English and can understand better than I can speak it. But having said that, I am learning as quickly as I can. ”

City are a club with a lot of ambition, and they are one of the best teams in Europe. ”

I began as a striker, then became a holding midfielder, and now I'm a centre-half. I've done everything except play in goal. ”

The Champions League is probably the biggest goal a footballer can have. ”

My goal is to play at Euro 2016 with France. ”

It's clear that the more competition there is in a team, the better it is for the club. ”

I play at Manchester City. I try and give performances for them game after game. ”

I was always clear in my mind what I wanted to do. Becoming a footballer is a dream that is unattainable for most people. We were told that out of maybe a thousand kids, only one would make it as a player, but I worked hard and kept fighting for my dream. ”

I could be a world champion. ”

I've spent my whole life playing football. My father didn't want me to play rugby because he felt it was very hard on the body, so at school, I was encouraged to play football, and that's where everything started. ”
