  • I know people have a lot of questions.

  • The fans are always asking me and my family are always asking me

  • do I have a superstition, and I think I have one.

  • I don't know if it works for other people,

  • but it works for me now and I am very happy about that.

  • It's simple, it's my shin guard, that I had for maybe 7, 8, 9 years,

  • which I told myself I would never change.

  • I always keep it, because I used it for the first game in France, in '99, no 2001,

  • something like this, and it gave me a lot of chances, and I said to myself, yeah, it is time to keep it going.

  • I didn't change that shin guard til now, it's almost 7, 8 years that I have kept it.

  • So, I am telling the truth, that’'s my superstition,

  • and I don't know if it is going to work for you, but for me it is working.

  • As soon as you put in a new shin guard or a new shoe,

  • and have a game and score a hattrick or you score a good goal,

  • or you do something special in the game,

  • I think that shin guard might become your superstition, you must keep that forever, it's like a souvenir.

  • So that is what I have to say about my superstition, it is always my shin guard.

  • If someone ask me, we have a child can they have something? I will give them anything, but not my shin guard.

  • So please, if you see me, don’t ask me for the shin guard, I won’t give you.

  • Thank you.

I know people have a lot of questions.
