You ask me: 'Was he a fair player?' I say: 'No, I'm sorry, for me he was not a fair player.' I just think I respect him highly as a quality player. I did not like some things he did on the football pitch and I have the right to say that. It's not because you are older, suddenly, that you are a saint.

No matter how much money you earn, you can only eat three meals a day and sleep in one bed.

Fair play is an English word. It is not a French word, and it has been copied all over the world. Unfortunately, it does not function any more here.
