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.
I have always said that to play for the national team is a pride and a great motivation.
Playing as captain of Juve and the national team, with 500 games for Juve and 100 for the national team, it gives you a different serenity.
I just want to say that aside from Atlanta United, any national team gives you a little bit more free time. I don't want to get completely into the analysis. There are different responsibilities compared to clubs and national team.

As a young boy I dreamed of playing in the national team and representing my country with pride. I'm proud to have achieved that aim and to don my nation's colours.
Thomas Muller deserves enormous respect. He's hardly ever injured and has always been with the national team, where other players might have said they are tired, need a break or were injured. He has busted his butt for the national team.

We have so much pride in welcoming these passengers onto the plane, and they have so much pride in travel. It's something that I definitely always remember, when I'm playing a scene on the plane, just to imbue everything with that sense of excitement.
I always look forward to playing for my national team, especially at a major tournament.
