“That's exactly what I referred to before. Now we don't have that. My parents are already divorced when I was seven, eight. So that left. One point was present when I had to go to training or games or coming around at times, but he left when I was eight. So I technically grew up with my mom. But even when they were together is exactly what you said, I didn't see a lot of love, affection, hugging. Know when I say that I'm not complaining, it wasn't hell. Please, by any means, but It wasn't a lot of love. That side of the emotion. I didn't know it. And even more so when you grew up in this type of neighborhood, That amplify also what was happening at home. Like it's more of a be rough anger. You're the man, you're a man, be strong. Don't cry. I didn't know how to open up talking a problem. Maybe I need help.”

“First one, obviously, I had money. The first one I had a car, so it was well respected. I know it sounds stupid now to say that, but it was well respected. So I always stayed away from trouble, especially with my parents. But also, I don't know if you had that. But when you have a certain gift and the guys in the neighborhood know that you might do something, you're also protected.”

“I grew up. It's kind of weird for me to say that, Stephen, but if I don't see concrete for more than a week, I don't feel well. I know people like country and country life and country life and the sea. If I don't see concrete, I don't feel well. I grew up in it. Some people will tell you, I can't see it anymore. I need the sea. I need whatever. For me, I'm happy in a town concrete. That's where I grew up. But yes, you can encounter problems there. A lot, but I'll be honest with you, I was lucky enough. I have all the brother seven years older than me, so his friend, him used to protect me because I have the same age as my town. So I was born in 77. My tomb was bailed in 77 So just imagine my brother arriving in this town is older than me was the first one I had a job.”

“I went around the world staying in the same place. I had all the food in the world staying in the same place. So this is why I will say it's kind of a cliche thing to say you don't want to grow up there, but what it gives you also none for me in terms of. You need in order to comprehend how the world is.”

“I didn't want them to go through that. It's weird for me to say that it's kind of a cliche thing to say that you don't really want to grow up there. If you ask anyone when they can compare it, they're like, oh no, it's better to grow up there. It's better to grow up there. But for me, like I said, I'll do it again because it made me understand a lot of things, acceptance, living with others to coexist in any way, by the way, what you think of or what you wear, how you see the world. For me, I couldn't care less that, you know, in my class, the same thing was Senegalese, Malian, Caribbean, North African, Asian, Italian, Polish roots, Portuguese roots. I couldn't care less about what you thought or not. I'm like, this is my friend. Do you know what I mean? And I traveled also without traveling.”

“At one point, as a young kid, you know, but that's the way it was. You listen to it, you grew up with it, and you just try to fit in at one point. What was life like outside of the four walls that you lived in? Outside of the home, the streets you grew up on. Just a normal neighborhood. If I can use the word normal neighborhood with everything that goes with it. Gangs, drugs, fight, happiness, diversity, different food, different religions. So I always said that it was the best for me to understand what the world was. How does it compare to the streets that your kids are growing up on? What streets the garden, the grass, no concrete there now joking aside, you can't compare it, man. I But if I had to do it again, I would do it again.”

“Make sure they don't come to us and say, Oh, those guys from the Caribbean, they just arrive. And, you know, so don't speak Creole. Make sure you speak French well. Don't do this. Don't do that. We need to fit in. We don't want to get sent back to the Caribbean. We want to keep the house that we have. We want to keep the job that we have. Always that fear of getting sent back. Not so much for me because I was born in France, but they always had that chip on their shoulder of make sure you don't make any mistakes. I don't want anyone to say that my son was this, my son was that. Don't bring any problem. We came here to work. We came here to have a better life. So please do not spoil it. Kind of. So you always feel like you need to fit in and not belong. I was kind of heavy.”

“Often not, it was more something that I didn't do that was raised. From the Caribbean. My parents came early to France, which. They call it the continent. It is still France because there are French islands, Guadeloupe and Martinique, but we always say going to France. It was the dream for that era to go to the continent, to go to France to have a better life, to try to make sure that we could have a better life. But when you grew up there, you You dream of going to France because it's better because it's like in bracket the American dream, which actually it is the French dream. I'm sure it was the same for you. When you arrive in France. Make sure you don't make any mistakes.”

“To understand a man, I know that you have to understand his context, especially his early context. I think we're all products of our earliest context. I certainly am. And having spent a very small amount of time with you, I know you are as well. What is that early context that people need to know to understand the man that sits in front of me today? I will second what you just said. I think you need to understand the struggles of someone to know exactly what the person and what a person is about. I grew up in... In a modest household, if I can say that, for me at the time it was the best because I couldn't compare it to anything. Grew up with diversity. I grew up with, there is food on the table. So therefore, I love you. I take care of you, so therefore I love you it wasn't so much. Communicated by Ugs, by I Love You, by Well Done.”

“I wasn't scared of failure. You're going to fail. That's what shapes you. But I was more scared not to please people. Even when you were playing at Arsenal and you were wearing golden boots and the Invincibles, you were still trying to please your dad. Yeah. So long, you think what you're doing is to please others football money. We have a roof, but then I was about to leave again, my girlfriend, the kids, everybody starts to cry. And for the first time, I realized they were crying for me, not the football player, not the accolades, and I felt human. If I was watching you, what would I have seen? Me crying. Almost every day, but it was the young Tierry. What was he crying for”

“I was lying for a very long time because society wasn't ready to hear what I had to say. But I will be honest with you. Throughout my career, I must have been in depression. Did I do something about it? No, but to understand the person that I became, you have to understand what happened early. When I was young, I didn't see a lot of love, affection, hugging. My dad, the first time he took me in his arms, said, this baby will be an amazing football player. And from that point, I was programmed to succeed my dad took control of my body, and it was tough. One day we played the game, I was 13 years old. We won the game 6-0. I scored six goals. But it was always what I didn't do. You missed that control, you missed that cross, you missed that this, you missed that, and it can make you or break you. I decided it was going to make me.”
