'I thought I was a big player and my feet were brought right back down to earth.'
: “I never thought we’d have to wait this long to lift the Premier League trophy again.
“It was something like £200m to get both of those two players at the club at the time, and United, the board, didn’t agree with that. Now you can see we’ve spent even more money than that and look where we are. “Nobody expected that, none of the players. I didn’t expect to leave the club either. So there were many decisions that were massive surprises for us after the last league trophy.”
“Then, I didn’t really know what it was about, I was playing in Monaco in front of 8,000 people, and sometimes I could even hear a fan’s cell phone in the stands. So, when I arrived to Old Trafford, I remember it was a cup game that I wasn’t registered in time for, we were playing a side from the fifth division and I remember I asked Louis Saha if people would show up, because in France when you don’t play against a big team people don’t show up, and there were 75,000 people there.
“I was thinking I’d made it and that I was a big player. Then at half time, that was the first time I was introduced to the hairdryer by Sir Alex Ferguson. He destroyed everyone, and he came to me and said: ‘You now are going to sit next to me and learn English football.’
