Sensational Inside the Box presented by booking.com yes guys welcome to inside the box today we have a truly special guest a magician on the pitch known for his quick feet and silky skills I hated playing against this man made magic happen every G time I played against him at the Euros 2000 by the way he might not started as a regular but by the time France heisted the trophy his impact was undeniable it's an absolute pleasure it's an honor to introduce the legendary Mr Rober Perez how you doing man very good thank you I said on the way in you look better than when you played you are T you looking strong what you doing where you where you living now what are you doing I live in P now yeah oh my so you partying every day yeah uh every day no every two days parties Festa no no I'm very very good to be yeah happy to be here with you for the show appreciate I appreciate it I know this one so do you do you do you remember you have one of these in your house or not yeah a small yeah yeah all the team got it all the team yeah all the player they have small wow like a World Cup yeah yeah as well yeah as well because we did the the B but this one it was yeah was very good and special moments yeah yeah for you uh but for me yes because uh I was involved especially in the the final but but the but this competition is very yeah but you know Rio is very difficult is very tough every every every game so that's why is a special competition well let's get into it I mean um the the first two games in the group you didn't feature he was a bit of a squad player initially when you got to the tournament mhm and then the third game you play against uh Netherlands Netherlands and you start that game what's it like for because there's a lot of players now who are not part of the first 11 when the tournament starts and then you get to come into the team what's that like for a player uh but you know I think when you when for example with France um for the World Cup or Ro L he was the the the manager he said look we have the lineup and we have the subtitles so is we said is the like a yeary you know so for example for me I was there's the experience there's the top players and then there's one coming up when when you said this at the beginning you know where you going and you know where you where's your way so for me it was very yeah very simple I was on the bench and waiting my yeah my my moment for to help uh to help the the team so I play yeah I play the third game against uh Netherland look at the players look at the Players man young Bernard Lama I played with Berard lar the goer Des how good was Des how good was Marcel Des because he he's the captain uh if anyone who's a bit young doesn't realize explain what he was like well for for me and for the young player it was a uh very important uh like um you know like inspiration for Spirit for commitment because at this moment he used to play in Italy and Italy in 2000 I think he was the best best league in in Europe so he G some advice for all the young player and this game it was a special moment I think for him because he was the captain he was the third game against Netherland um and we play for the first position you know tournament yeah yeah the most important is to finish on the on the first position so look we can say the uh the league uh um and he was very very important because this game was like like a final wow but they have some good players as well this TCH team was a good team man you know real uh Netherland they have always great and good players uh so because uh for me he always one of the favorite of the the competition and especially in this moment because we play at against this team he was he was at at home bamp CL was very uh very fast uh good shot um so we yeah we start with the uh lot a lot of difficulty there but is it hard to find your Rhythm when you just come in like this not really because uh you know you you you will play against a great teams great team and great player so yeah inspiration was it was perfect for for all the players the free was amazing yeah and you France were World Cup hold this point as well yes so the confidence in the squad must be huge he was uh huge more yeah more confidence um and maybe lot of inspiration from players like zidan or Jo because for me uh Merc was very upset on this this action um but yeah France they have a lot on yeah on the the fite so so it was a good game we lost unfortunately and we finished on the second position yeah and then you went and played Spain in the next game you won 2-1 you was UN new substitute in that game me I know at the beginning you knew yeah I knew yeah of course because Ro the manager yeah you you will start all the game on the on the bench say okay no problem you know so that's why communication is very very important I was going to say like for managers like we we see players now and some players look like on the bench like this or they get B off and it's like I always wonder has the manager spoken to the player enough for him to understand it seems like the communication your squad was very good I think for me it was very good um and very important for all the players you have the lineup and the substitute uh maybe if you manage club and the national team is maybe totally different but national team is national team you know because you play for your country and you play all together on the same on the same way M the the the target is to leave the trophy so lineup subtit at the end we play together so that's why so that's why I repeat but communication for me between manager and players is very very important when you start the competition yeah that's good so you end up playing Portugal this is a wonderful goal here Nuno Gomez yeah was you confident to win this game no no no because Spain and Portugal because we we we beat Spain on the quarterfinal one and this one was uh special because um they have a lot of rivality between Portugal and France because uh they have a lot of community Portuguese in in France they in France so that's why but well look when you have a talent like Nicolas anela T sometime it's I don't want to be arrogant but sometime it's easy you know you know what I mean when you play when you play with the player like this of course after you have a maestro like like zidan or J so offensively it's more it's more creative from from these players how good was that TI in screen you played with him again for Arsenal as well like just tell how good was this guy I know but you played with him it's different but you you know him I know him uh you know uh lot of people talk about Ronaldo the Brazilian yeah I'm we when the people say he one of the best Striker but this guy for me is like Ronaldo yeah yeah for everything you have everything it's for me it it was um it was a perfect uh perfect Striker left right uh strong uh yeah quick yeah quick and with the ball and he scor a lot of goals and this guy with inspiration and and uh spirit he was yeah was very very important so for me he's one of the best French player when you talk about TI where does he where would you sit in today's game if he's playing today where is he well in the in terms of the best players you got harand you got V for me TT is better than kilan mppe yeah ah this is for me it's not because he's my friend I love I love kilan mppe so that's why I I don't like to compare but if for me he more Ty is more complete like like MPP so for me you have he's on the podium platini zidan and but it's for me it's my opinion uh but Portugal like France on this moment Timmy was yeah was amazing because I it's me I was young that generation of CH I played against under 18's European Championship well you remember no I don't know it might have might been in France was in France I think so or Germany I don't know it's somewhere okay and the front line of the under 18s team in the Euros was tierry Captain Nicholas and ala Tre they won it they won the tournament they Brant not bad no strike your it was a joke it was a joke a tough day yeah I I can imagine yeah so it makes it easy when you got guys like this in your team it makes you confident the old team is just thinking let them go and play yeah not not easy I think he not the the world but um yeah more confident and you know it's uh it's talent and and ability with with the ball for some some players especially with this guy this guy is this guy look the penalty top corner he makes you look so what what what so special about zidan and but you know I don't know in France we we don't have a more word for for him because we said everything for me he's uh he's one of the best player in the world yeah yeah because he's um he's a genius he's a magician he play he play for the team he play Simple uh and the vision he was amazing and I talk always from zidan about the about the about the ability you know right in left M it's yeah it was amazing and for me for me it was no no it was but uh I learned a lot with him and with Dennis bamp can you imagine the morning I was with bamp with the national team with Zan what what are you learning what are you learning like what's give me some detail the control for me the not Zan but Dennis bamp he said one day he said look Robert the most important in football the first touch I say okay so I keep this in my mind and when I train every morning I say Okay first touch first touch and you learn like this because but real football is simple no it's for me it's control pass and move if you can dribbling if you have a ability for this you can try if not play Simple and so that's why for me was yeah he was a good teacher can you imagine my teacher was in bless you're lucky man you're lucky I know oh my gosh so this here obviously and this what I think about today there's players that are in squads that aren't starting every game but they can have a huge impact on the outcome of winning this trophy you're one of those guys that done that didn't start every game but you eventually set up the Golden Goal yeah talk me through this this this moment final but but you know it's very difficult to reach one final uh you know because you you won some titles with with man man united but with the national team it's very yeah it's very difficult the pressure you know is not the same I said always the shirt is is very heavy for national team yeah for me because you play for the national team it's not it's not the same people is different uh pressure is not the same from the media from the people uh and this is the final uh big moment and this is the the last last step for this big pressure big pressure pressure and you go go down big pressure especially at this moment you know why because Italy is the best for this one one n is the best team in the world from did you feel at this moment it's finished over yeah for me yeah wow I say it's over finish yeah because Italy for me is you know the nickname is kacho kacho is say okay we scored shot shot close we Clos the door so that's why for for for all the players it was very difficult when they when ital scor the the first so you end up recovering you come on as as a sub game yeah 86 minutes I said yeah what What's happen What I said that what players think 8 six minutes what am I going to do in 3 minutes 4 minutes yeah I said well what can I do you just on I say what on my mind yeah what can I do yeah for 86 minutes four or 5 minute left one n for Italy I think I cannot help the team to be honest I said yeah of course I I want to to fight to put the good spirit good energy because I'm the sub I say okay no it's difficult and miracle M the name is yeah lucky yeah but you need you need sometimes you need luck you need luck I don't know why the luck the choice France at this moment because look look the ball he touch told you he touch the ball Just For Nothing sometimes it's for nothing and when we score now the game changed the game changed yeah oh yes the Spirit who took over the game uh the most important at this moment he was uh was yeah yeah why why inspiration Captain leader yeah yeah I thought he was going to say tiar or zidan no the most important player at this moment here when you went 1-1 became the shamp yes he was the captain so that's why he's Captain why because he h his leading talking talking shouting [Applause] yes wow and um he put He put a good uh he put a good energy on the the F because for example zidan he was the leader but with the ball not talking not shouting you know what I mean yeah yeah quiet very quiet but with the B he was the best but D it was different Des BL the you know the strong players yeah with the big big mentality you know you was you was you was like this the field I remember so so that's why you need the team is like this you need a mix yeah exactly true yeah I'm surprised I'm it's good is look very Lu look they lost the ball yeah about pressure you put pressure as well yeah always oh oh oh what no no no treasure game seriously what I finish you know what what a pass what was your feeling then what was you feeling then life changed I was very happy oh this is because I did this many many times in France when I used to play for Mets and Mar so this is so that's why but this is my moment I'm I'm a little bit selfish you know yeah good but for me it was very very important to prove to prove something with the national team and after think iove on this action but wait the goal is oh for me is one of the best goal in the final after Mar Bast oh yeah you remember the and this yeah the volley exactly and this one left foot as well left foot but did you see when where he put the ball the roof of the it's a joke it's a joke look the position look nice at the during the the training he was Jo he was the best was he the best finisher out of the tiar and Nicholas and him yeah clean finish left and right foot yeah but look wi yeah yeah what does this do for your life when you win a trophy like this this trophy sitting next to us here what does that do for your life look at you there man happy yeah said he was dead he was dead yeah yeah yeah I remember after this action I don't know why I cannot explain what's happened on me but it was like uh uh blackout me yeah I don't know why don't remember this after no this this moment yes but just when I cross the ball and when the t is C it went back yeah wow for I don't know 30 seconds I say wow what's happened yeah because you know but you know because we lost a lot lot energy for this Spain Portugal uh Italy big games begin but emotional emotional look Spain was difficult Portugal is we won because of the penalty so you know emotionally was difficult and this one against Italy why see what know it's so that's why all the all the player was was we were very very very tired so that's look the The Pick of the picture of uh of mar he's gone he's gone yeah yeah did winning this trophy does did you know you were going to Arsenal before this no so this almost helped you get to Arsenal because he was a for me it was a good night because we won the title and the day after I was at Arsenal for the for the medical wow the day after yeah the day after yeah did you not have hangover from the drink you didn't you didn't drink no after the final no no no because the after uh um

memories memories and great memories so this fast forward to today um what are France chances and who is going to make sure that France win we a lot of chance to win but I said but be careful this is a hero um I think if you put the names on the paper France maybe they have the best team on the paper on the field you know sometimes different I said this because four years ago we lost against Switzerland in quarterfinals so of course we know and I'm not arrogant but we are on the favorite for me fa Germany because they play at home in front the fence is very is a good moment I said England because England is I think England is like a France when you put the name on the paper it's the same the name it's amazing crazy after on the field it's other history so yeah Germany England France and Spain yeah so Robert how much did you enjoy seeing those pictures I bet the hairs on the back of your neck was standing up now well very happy uh good to see the good good memories uh especially
