I have played on the left for Koln sometimes and the national team; it is not something special.
I made good friends at all the teams I played for, but with the national team, we created a family. It was during years when we won many trophies, and we have a special relationship because of that. Together - Pepe, Torres, me, and others - we have something.
Switching from left-winger to left-back was not as difficult as you might imagine because I have played there many times before for the national team and also for the Vancouver Whitecaps.
Carlo Ancelotti is a good coach and a good man. I worked with him for just three months at Parma, before I left for Chelsea, although I had worked with him before with the national team. In my first game for the national team I played with him.
The captains of the national team are the ones that have played the most matches. That's what I had in the national team. Maximum respect to those players.
It's so special to do something with the national team.
It had never been a decision to choose between the French national team or the Senegalese national team because I was growing up in France and playing in the French youth national team, so it was something really normal.
I think there can be nothing more special than winning something with the shirt of your national team.
I had role models in my community, guys that were older than me and played at university or on the national team. Eli Pasquale was always around UVic when I was a young player, and the national team was around Victoria a little bit, so I got to watch those guys and learn from them.
When I left the U.S., I sort of left that frustration and that pressure to make the national team behind me.
I would have definitely loved to have continued with the French national team. Having said that, perhaps when I left, it opened the doors of the national side for young talented players.
I played with the youth national team, I played in some CONCACAF games, and it's always physical; it's always intense.
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've played with Jan Vertonghen for Ajax and the national team.
To play at Stamford Bridge for Brazil would be great. To play for the national team is already special but to do it here would be a very special occasion.
To train a national team, you have to know what team you have at your disposal and what this team is capable of. You need to get the best out of them and take them as far as possible. Yet, sometimes, you can't achieve your goals.
I was sad when Van Gaal left the national team, but I was also sad when Hiddink left.
