What he has done is not bad
He is very happy since Laurent Blanc took the reigns, and is satisfied with the results of the France has achieved. The France national team are more balanced and have again become a winning side. But the two favourites for Euro 2012 are Spain and Germany.
It is nice to win in Germany but we still have a lot of work to do to perform well
But we're in 2012. Laurent Blanc has been the boss for two years. He's pumped new oxygen into the team, a new order, and I think this generation, whether it's (Franck) Ribery or (Hatem) Ben Arfa, is booming
The fact that talks [with the FFF] reach a deadlock, or that an exceptional challenge is put to me. At that moment, I could well decide to leave for that club. But we're not there yet.
The French team has a good team. It will be difficult for England at the Euros. The group is difficult with Sweden and Ukraine. I believe Laurent Blanc is doing a very good job. The 2010 World Cup was a disaster, but he has come in and done a great job.
As this business develops, it's very hard to stay long in a club
It is always gratifying to be appreciated by the big clubs ... But my goal is the Euros - I am completely absorbed by this competition. My intention is to continue with the France team. I have not changed my mind.
If an exceptional challenge is proposed to me, I can very well decide to leave the French team. But that is not the case at the moment.
My intention is to continue with the France team. I have not changed my mind
This is incomprehensible. Ribery is very impressive with his club but he cannot do it for France. There is an obstacle, that's for sure
I hope he will once again demonstrate all his mental strength, which will allow him to overcome this difficult period ... I hope to discuss the situation with him verbally. What I can say now is that his availability for Euro 2012 is not what concerns me. Today, I am thinking about the man and then we w...
I hope he will once again demonstrate all his mental strength, which will allow him to overcome this difficult period
He gives us more guarantees than others ... and is someone who can bring a certain clarity to the role.
Philippe is coming back more and more to his best level
It was an open match and we had studied the German game well. We knew they were strong in attack, but we managed to reveal their defensive weaknesses.
It was a beautiful game of football and I really enjoyed watching it
It is a satisfaction to have won. Winning here is very difficult, but we try to improve after every game ... We are still waiting for much of this team [to show its potential]. I knew we could raise our game. Will this win mean our ambitions rise [ahead of Euro 2012]? I will leave that down to you [jour...

I fully enjoyed this game because it was two countries playing attacking football and of course my pleasure was ten-fold because we won
The result didn't interest me. We only wanted to take a step forward
Olivier still has room for improvement ... He has been getting better year upon year but he needs to be aware that international football is another step up. We hope he is capable of raising his game to a higher level still.
We knew that Germany were very strong offensively but we had studied a few weaknesses in the defence
It is necessary in sport to play the best in order to progress. This is what is most exciting
