Zitat des Tages von Eric Cantona:
I didn't study; I live.
I don't want to be in Terminator. I don't want to go to Hollywood.
I observe the world and the people surrounding me.
We all seem to be about aggression and greed. It's a massive pressure that affects us all.
I try to be honest.
I'm proud of what I achieved there, but a life built on memories is not much of a life.
I found leaving Manchester United very, very hard.
We won the European Championship last September and now the world title. That is some year for French beach soccer! Now comes the hard part. We have to keep improving and that's difficult because it's tough to do better than winning a world title.
The pressure people put on themselves and the rivalry between the teams is much more marked. And I think that's a good thing. As long as that rivalry remains within the spirit of competition, it con only spur everyone on.
Actually, I wanted to act even when I was still playing football.
I have a car but it's not important.
I prefer to play and lose rather than win, because I know in advance I'm going to win.
I am searching for abstract ways of expressing reality, abstract forms that will enlighten my own mystery.
I don't take life so seriously... I can just play with life.
Even as a footballer, I was always being creative.
I don't know where my medals are.
The real fans of football come from the working class. Now they cannot afford to come and watch the game.
Children go where they find sincerity and authenticity.
Often there are players who have only football as a way of expressing themselves and never develop other interests. And when they no longer play football, they no longer do anything; they no longer exist, or rather they have the sensation of no longer existing.
I try to find different ways of expressing myself. Without that I will die.
You can feel very quickly as a prisoner of your past, of the memories.
I manage a team, for beach soccer. I'm the coach. Player, coach.
When the seagulls follow the trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea.
Sometimes you get submerged by emotion. I think it's very important to express it - which doesn't necessarily mean hitting someone.
I'm never bored.
On sand, you can never be sure of anything. An ordinary shot can take a wicked deflection at the last moment.
Manchester United is stronger than anybody in the world.
Football lost its excitement for me.
Desire is important.
It is unacceptable that people often have to make huge sacrifices just to find a place to live, a roof over their heads.
You can lose in cinema too if you don't put on a good performance.
Sometimes in life one experiences an emotion which is so strong that it is difficult to think, or to reason.
In England, your life is your life.
What is the system? It revolves around the banks, the system is built on the power of the banks, so it can be destroyed through the banks.
Every experience makes you a man.
I started beach football in Monte Carlo when I retired from football in 1997. I liked the game very much.
