The Premier League is more physically demanding than Ligue 1. I love English football; it's the best in the world in my opinion, and I hope to stay here for many years to come.

It's true that the atmosphere here is quite different from the one in France. People live and breathe football here, and that's what I like. Every footballer wants to play in the Premier League.

I respect the Premier League.

The Premier League is so difficult.

I love English football.

The Football Association have always acted more as a referee than a governor. And the FA, aware the Premier League provide players for the England team, have always had too gentle a hand on the tiller. The result is that the Premier League are the tigers in the English football jungle everybody's scared of.
