“I played in Belgium, in France and in Germany, which was very good - but England is very special.”

“Rennes wanted me at one point, but in France they have a problem - they don't like taking risks. But if you don't take risks, you don't get anywhere. You pass by the periphery of many things, like life and football.”

“Belgium's 1986 team is like the Christmas movie that they bring out every single year. That World Cup is something we get to see and hear about all the time. It is part of our general education in Belgium.”

“It's clear that anyone who plays in Belgium or another league with less quality still has a chance of making the Champions League or the Europa League.”
