A Mediterranean city is really my culture.
Before it was hard to talk about certain things, especially if, like me, you came from a difficult area or an immigrant background.
I am first of all from La Castellane and Marseille.
I don't know if we are the best team in the world. I am lucky to be playing alongside some of the best players around. It's a dream.
I have a need to play intensely every day, to fight every match hard.
I have never had the opportunity to play in England, so I know little about it.
I have no message.
I love Madrid. I am happy to be here. I have been here three years and hope to be here longer. But I am proud of where I come from and never forget the people I grew up with.
I may have had a lot of luck in my life, but I still need to find a challenge in the game.
I think Marseille is probably a place like Liverpool, very vibrant and very tough.
I was lucky to come from a difficult area. It teaches you not just about football but also life. There were lots of kids from different races and poor families. People had to struggle to get through the day.
I'm very inspired by him-it was my father who taught us that an immigrant must work twice as hard as anybody else, that he must never give up.
Music was important. Football was the easy part.
My family are very proud of me, but I am very proud of them and where they come from. I am proud that they come from Kabylie. It is a special place.
My passion for the game comes from the city of Marseille itself. Unfortunately I can't go back there as much I want to because I play a lot here and abroad.
The England team must always be respected. They always fight to the end.
The only important thing I have to say is that my father never fought against his country.
To be recognised by a whole country is incredible. This is massive.
We were a family who had come from nothing and now we had respect from French people of all sorts.
