- Laurent [Blanc] is a very close friend to me who always helped me, he is an honest man and a faithful friend who always gives you advice and truly thinks what he says. He is also a discrete man, not the kind of guy to make his show when he scores a goal, however he is impressive on a pitch. Everything looks easy when you look at him.
