“Because the way many things came out and You're an interesting person, and I feel energy, and I feel your soul, and you're a good soul, and I can see you doing all of this because you want to make the world a better place. And, you know, when you surrendered around people like you, you just improve. And that's what I wanted. Sometimes I'm like, don't surrender about negative people. Help them also to understand why they are negative. But your energy, you're really curious. I can feel it. You're going deep.

“But when he's about the races, like sometimes you feel like those social media, they just let the racy, they pre- the races on platform. So stop pretending. If you want to do something, let's do it. But I know until you know, money is not involved. Things were difficult to be changed. Yeah, kick the races. They asked me to put the shirts many times. I go to the woman. I didn't put that shirt because I don't, it's fake. They ask me to say no to the races in front of the camera. Many players respect no to races. But the player, they don't even care because they just, they tell them to say that. Come. To people racism, saying those words. Now I say silence is a crime because people lose their life because of that, you know?”

“You know, like even social media. I'm someone I am on social media. I don't want any help from Instagram, from Facebook or everything because you can delay your comment. You can like block people, everything. And anyway, when I have raised this comment, I will do a nice video when I'm eating a banana and things because it really like when I was 70 years old, people were throwing real banana in my face when I was playing. So it's not like someone behind his computer kind of affect me, but this is Patrice or the people they're going to read comment about them. They're going to even suicide when we're talking about the mental health. So you have to explain me one thing. When is about the COVID-19? You get the flag straight away.”

“And I will talk about massive football industry. I give the example of that stupid super league. A project, that project didn't even start. We shut down that project in 24 hours. I remember I watched on TV my estimate upon this shouldn't define fighting burning things like I was like wow, I was watching oh my god they are so unique they terminate The president of the fifth fight the web fight oh they ask Nake those owners and stuff like what we should but I was like but why we don't have the same determination when we talk about racism and especially in football players getting abused every single game We don't stop, so don't pretend”

“And I feel like I had to do it. My dad called me. What are you doing, you know? You don't know them, they are terrorists and everything. Said that this is your opinion, but it's not mine. He put the fund down. We didn't speak for two weeks. He called me after two weeks. He said, I'm sorry Wow, you're a man now. You stood to your own opinion. I said, yes, dad, and I won't change it. Like, you can't because one person do something, then all the people are the same. So that's why I like to give this example, because sometimes you have to stand up against your own father, even if you scare him. Because those people, the racist, it doesn't come because they just become racist. It's because they've been taught. So if we want to change something, it's about the education. I have enough people pretending they want to fight against the racism.”

“So that's why I understand you need to fight with your own parents. It's nothing to do. It's about religion. When it was the Paris attack. Everyone starts to blaming the Muslim people. I did a post. I was on the plane. I say, you know what? And by the way, I grew up as a Catholic, but if you ask me what is your best religion right now, it's to be the best human being I can. I'm not a Catholic. I'm not a Muslim, but I can pray with Jewish people, with Muslim people, Buddha, everything because I respect every religion. But now the religion, my religion is to be the best human being I can. Then I did that post when I say, I think it's not time to spread your anger when you should pray for the people we lost. And by the way, I read the Quran, Islam is such a beautiful religion. It's about love and everything. So, and it came from my heart.”

“Yeah, but because, like I say. When now we want to talk a little bit about the racism. And like I said to people, it's about education. No one born as a racist person. And, you know, when you... The football now ban people when they have those races comment or I don't think this is the solution because if you ban someone, I know it's really sensitive, but you put him in a box, you don't resolve the matter. And even that person will even become more racist and feeling more rejected. But where I come from, I've got friends, they're not shame to tell me Patrice. I've got black friend and everything, but my daughter or my son will never be with a black belt because my dad or my granddad will never accept it.”

“You should forgive them. I say, guys, it's never too late and I don't have any hate. And I keep saying, I can't call Luis Suarez a racist because I don't know him close enough to call him that way. But in that day, he used some racist word. And he get even worse for him about the handsheck. That's when I was like, okay, it's a disgrace.

“All the player and Ferguson, and we saw the Liverpool player came out with that shirt and support Luis. And the worst party was like, he get banned. So it's not like they do it when before he get the ban. He get banned because after he lies, you know, in my country, we use the word, like, I know they use narrow, but nongrito. Negrito is the N word. Nero is the color. And even I always say to people, you don't have to call me by my color. My mom gave me a name. I don't need to be anyway. So with the camera, they could see with his lips, like he said, the n word. And they support him and he was Kevin Douglash. I remember I hate so much Kevin Douglish to let this happen that day, and the Kalma, he gets sack after one month after that game.

“It's so many things, you know, when you say I can say the wall getting the discipline, the passion. I think he's also the character personality. I think Ferguson. Wanted to meet player in person to see if he can feel their character, their personality, if they're going to be ready to handle the pressure. The pressure is a gift, is a privilege. Like, I want to add pressure. Like, I didn't want Ferguson to say you play a good game. I want Ferguson to give me the hairdryer. It was a little bit like it's really weird, but I didn't expect any compliment. Like for me, playing for under Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United, I wasn't, I never scared of anyone. I never scare of Sir Alex Ferguson, but I was scared to disappointing him. So he's about respect. What make Manchester United?”

“Summer, I was looking the French national team reaching the final of World Cup, but they lose against Italy. So I was like, okay, I understand the football in England now. It's like you have to be strong first, then after you can play with your feet. So I get some muscle, everything. I came back to the preseason. We had a preseason in South Africa. I was the man of the tournament. And I remember Mick Philan, the second coach, he came and he shaked my hands and said, now you are United players. From that day, even before the season started, I know I will make it and the rest is history.”

“So, all of that, my teammates were laughing, Rio, Wene, when in the training I was like sleeping and they were like laughing when someone was, you know, shoulder you, they were laughing. And I remember one day pulled schools when I make it, when you respect me, say, you know, Patrice, I think you were like a joke. I even asked like the boss if he can sell you back to Monaco but for free. Send you back for free, yeah. And I look at them, you know, all those things, you know, when I saw my teammate laughing when I was not playing a game, it didn't put me down. I was like, I'm going to show them what is the real patrice because it's difficult when you come to a club like, you know, end of January because, you know, you miss half of the season. So after I miss the World Cup, my fellow French teammates, Luisai and Michael Silas, they went to the World Cup 2006. I was filming. I back to Monaco. I was in the gym all the time.”

“I play as I play. Don't ask me why, you know, in Manchester is never sunny. In nine years, I just don't like tree barbecue in nine years. That day was so hot. The sun was like on my face. I was like, then I'm back to Monte Carlo. I was like, what's going on here? I remember the first bowl Trevor Saint Clair just headboned me. I was cut straight away. He was like, welcome to England. Welcome to the Premier League. And in one point, one point I was again the post, I remember. You know, when you have those bubble, the cartoon and you, you know, writing what you think about.

“Yeah. Just crazy because I just came back. I just trained with the team three days via the Derby against Manchester City playing at 12. I never play at 12 in my life apart when I was a kid but never play at 12. Come for the breakfast nine. I see Michael Sylvester, Louisade, my French teammate eating beans, you know, pasta. I'm not a good breakfast guy. So I start doing the same. You know, I'm like, okay, in this league, you know, you need to eat because it's a strong leg I eat. I feel sick. I went in my room. I vomit. I need to call the doc and you need to say to the manager, I can't play that game. But I was like, Beatrice, you just sign. You can't say that again, doxing masculinity. They will say I'm weak, I'm scared.”

“And that's the truth because in Manchester, they let you be yourself. Even if you have to kick a fan or stuff, they will still be behind. They know it's wrong, but you still feel the support. You still feel you're part of the family. So we're going to accept you, you know. The way you are, and that's what's really important, even if I think everyone knows the story of my first game”

“And it was already in my DNA. So when I joined United, I was like, finally I can be myself because even in France playing for Monaco, when sometime I was saying like, I want to be the best left back or I am the best. Oh, he's too arrogant. It's this. So the French media, they didn't understand me. They were like, you know, it's too arrogant. And I win also the youngest French player in the league and normally only striker like Henri, Sidan. I was the first defender to win those kind of trophies. So I was like overconfident. So when I joined Manchester and Feguson tell me all those words, it was a different story. I was like, finally, I can express myself, like, Canton Asay, you know, in France, they will build him the guillotine. In Manchester, they will build him a statue.”

“And that day, that interview was like being interviewed by the FBI. It was like, do you smoke? Do you drink? Do you like to party? Are you ready to not lose one game? Are you ready to not even draw a game? Yes Sir Alex said yeah he shake my hands he said now you shake my hands So that's playing for Man United or everything I said, that's what you will have to do and all that stuff, even if some people they drink and they do many things. But it was about more the winning mentality And when he shakmaya and he looked straight in my eyes. When you look straight at his eyes, you make sure you don't disappoint him.”

“It was just like, it's just me. I'm playing football. So watching football is like going to work. That's when I was young. But now as a pundit, I have to watch football game. But it's something I'm never being interested in and it's something I never enjoyed. So I didn't know, although sometimes I was watching some Brazil, Manchester United because of Contana. Say to me, yeah, okay. He said you should go to Manchester. I think Manchester suits you and say, why not? Then we met Sir Alex Ferguson because at that time I stayed playing for Monaco so you can't be approached by another team. You broke the rules. So we met in the airport, in the secret room. Yeah, in the secret room”

“I'm, yeah, I can't imagine what that would have been like getting a call that's... But you will laugh because before United, I would start being, I will call it overconfident and arrogant. I was playing for Monaco. I reached the final of Champions League, being named four times in the world the best left back in the French League, playing for the national team. So I remember my agent came and he said, Patrice, you know, in January, it's like teams, like Inter, Liverpool, Manchester United. I say I say, and what stuck in my head when you say Manchester United Contenta? Really? Yeah, Countana. Yeah, the colors, yeah. Wow. I said, okay, Manchester, I swear Cantona, yeah.
