Dimitri Payet

I don't blame Le Havre. Back then, I wasn't an easy person to handle. I was always one of the first to mess around. So there were a lot of reasons why my adventure stopped at that point. ”

I have very special memories of the West Ham fans. ”

There were times when I didn't think I would even be at the European Championship. so to be walking off the field, having scored the winning goal in front of our home fans, just got too much for me. ”

I am used to moving homes in football, and it seems to be a recurring theme in my career. ”

When you come to a place like Old Trafford, you have to defend, and the system is in place for perfectly good reasons. ”

That's the difficulty with free-kicks, as you get one, maybe two, and that's why it's tough. You have to score. ”

The number of French players Arsenal have brought through is very impressive, and many of the players who arrived, especially the young ones, were unknown when they arrived to the general public. ”

I think the season I had playing as a kid against men in Reunion toughened me up a lot and taught me how to cope with hits. ”

I played for four different clubs in France; I played for Marseille, which is one of the biggest clubs. ”

I still try to treat football as a game even if there are now other considerations at stake, especially economic ones. ”
