Patrick Vieira : (5)

" You have some people who recognise the players or coaching staff, but there are a lot who don’t have a clue, who look at us and ask, ‘What sport are you doing?’ " - Patrick Vieira

" I think players maybe now want to look more pretty than anything else. What I feel disappointed about when I watch games is too many players think of themselves. Still good players, maybe better than we were, but looking too much at themselves. " - Patrick Vieira

" I think when you move to a country like the U.S., you need to understand the culture, to understand how people see the game, and adapt yourself. " - Patrick Vieira

" I understand that when people try to wind me up, it’s because I’m playing well. Whenever I had trouble, it was because I reacted to something. Now I’m much more focused on the game and on doing my job. " - Patrick Vieira

" I enjoyed playing for the national team, the French national team, because I think France gave me a lot and gave my family a lot, so to wear the French national team shirt was really good, and I wore it with pride. " - Patrick Vieira
