When you are a goalkeeper, you know the responsibility.
Hugo Lloris
It is part of being a goalkeeper: there is nobody behind to save you.
Talent is not enough. You need to be in the right place at the right moment.
There are a lot of people who help you during your career. When you win a World Cup, it's normal that you think about them, because they help you to reach this level.
I played tennis when I was younger. I don't know if I could have been a professional, but I am still passionate about it.
The most important thing is what is happening inside the club.
The most important thing is to try to be focused on yourself, try to make yourself fit, and make sure your mind is ready, whatever will happen in your club or in your future club. That's part of our job.
You can be rivals out on the pitch, but respect is the most important thing.
As a professional and as a man, I am just focused on today and tomorrow.
There's no more bad feeling than when you get a defeat.
You have a personality inside the pitch and off the pitch and in the changing room, too. The most important thing is to be respected by your teammates, and that's the case at Tottenham.
We know in football nothing is done and things can turn very easily if you don't respect basics.
When you have that privilege of being able to talk directly with your chairman, like I've had with Daniel Levy, that make things a lot easier. Afterwards, I know what we've said to each other, and we have a relationship built on trust.
Messi is unique. You can't compare anyone to him.
We're in a privileged position in sport and, above all, in football. We have a platform.
To be honest, the football and the time is going so fast. I don't want to say that I've forgotten about the World Cup, but for me, it belongs to the past. I don't have time to make a step backwards and think about the World Cup.
In football, you can win; you can lose. The most important thing is the feeling and the attitude that you show on the pitch.
It's always nice to feel the support of your manager, club, and team-mates.
I try to control my box. I always think the goalkeeper has to be the chief of the box: it's his area, and he has to defend it.
I try to be committed, always. When I do something, I like to do it 100 per cent.
At Tottenham, I'm asked to take a lot of risks to keep maximum possession of the ball and build from the back.
Sometimes in football, you live great moments, and you live some sad moments.
Cavani has been a historical figure for PSG. He's scored so many goals. He's a winner; he's a leader. He's very much respected in France as a player but also as a man because of his values.
I feel like a Nice citizen: it's my hometown. I come back to the city to spend time there because it's in my DNA.
It's important to take every game seriously, whatever the competition is.
You can learn at any age and at any moment in your life.
The World Cup ball is very fast, and you need to think very quickly, when to punch and when to catch.
There is always something to prove.
Football is fantastic because you can live great emotion through a big competition.
It's only human to have a few doubts whether to play or not.
We know the transfer market is not an easy period for players, for their minds, for their preparations, too, for their bodies.
There is always pressure in all matches in the World Cup. This is when you must go beyond your capacity as a competitor.
After the World Cup, the next two or three days there is a lot of celebration, a lot of obligation, towards the country, towards the French Federation, towards the fans. And then, after that, you feel so empty - mentally and physically. It's a long tournament; it demands a lot of energy and a lot of emotion.
It's difficult to get success in football - you have to be in the right team at the right moment.
Tottenham is not a club that always wins, but we are trying to create something. It's not easy to fight against European monsters, but it is a motivation.
There is only one Messi, no?
The French nation is more important than football.
Since my professional debut, I've always had a risky game.
It's true Tottenham is not a club who are used to winning a lot.
You see it more and more: managers asking their keepers to be the 11th field player.
You know that you have to keep winning to keep playing.
The big thing is to win, but to look at the long-term, you need one way to play, and the philosophy is not only to put 11 players on the pitch and play football.
I have always liked to have face-to-face talks with my bosses.
It's important to get to know people, to get an idea of the culture of a club, and to understand how it works.
No one has told me how much I'm worth, and I'm not trying to find out.
When you wear the jersey of some clubs, you have this pressure every day. It's not the case in Tottenham.
Sometimes there are ups and downs to deal with.
It's always better for the players being injured to come back to a winning team; it takes pressure off their shoulders.
Obviously, football is about the details, and everything can happen.
I was a big fan of Pete Sampras.
