One must just keep having good seasons with many great matches, whether one is with the club or the French national side. For me, this must be a player's goal in his head, even if it's an individual trophy, and the first thought must be on the collective.

Some people say I don't love the French national team. If that were the case, I would have said so directly to the coach, because I'm a big boy.

I always talk with my technical staff before I announce a squad. I have always done that; I am changing nothing.

What I have more of a problem accepting is the criticism of former players turned journalists, who - some of them - spread their hatred.

What I would like is to at least have a discussion with the coach, that he tells me what he thinks. I have to know.

As long as Didier Deschamps is coach, I have no chance of getting back into the France team.
