1:35 am
patrice, thank you for coming to speak to me today. you're welcome. you are one of the most successful football players and recent history. but since retiring before we've done so many things you've done, pundits free, lots of social media activism. what is the thing you most enjoy doing with your time at the moment? i is finally don't set up an alarm. i now is these like meeting people is by and people helping people doing things. so i didn't of the time to do it. you know, because i always say when you were a football player, you leaving the bubble and you are like it like trop inside that box. i need doesn't allow you to do many things you would like to do. so now i be honest. i feel free as, as a person,
1:36 am
but also mentally and i can think about different things and we should talk about your back. you mentioned the neighborhood leslie's way of from and a lot of really, really successful players came from that like town we must as i what do you think it is about the french suburbs that produces such successful players? is so many different nationality, you know, ah, is, is a mix. i know, do you know lizard is we are the only lead to be the only to city we win every trophy, like between me, ali and marcial and like different league. so is so many buttress ever so many children, only so many marcial in my little town. oh, to say it is because it's so many quarter lie. you going to have like people from synagogue, from algeria for my lee, and all this mix. and we like playing in the street, i think playing football, save you bomb, stealing to stay away from being naughty or whatever. so good, but is a way to communicate your the people in when you're leaving the street. football is
1:37 am
the most important thing. many people think about, you know, is coming high chips as a child are poverty, drugs, islands, but they're very faithful own as at your level with that as they can about child abuse. as you had done, the book opens with that. why was it important for you to start to pick that way? ah, i never talk about it before by way kim is because i open myself to the woman of my life mago and we were watching something on tv about her pedophile, and we look and she said, my god, if someone buddha to okay, there we go. crazy. and she saw my red, my face was really lie, you know, angry and say, okay, and i say yes, i'm fine. she said, no, you not okay. but she was the matter. so when i tell her she cry, of course, and i cry too. from that day i start to understand, you know, i need to get rid of that took seeing masculinity because i grow up as crying is a sign of weakness. so she unlocked something and i was like, okay,
1:38 am
i can't lie, did my autobiography, and don't tell everything. and after, of course, for people, it was like really weird for patrice to be the captain of the french national. too much to say united talking about is a child abuse. but because i my, i am a human being and i think we need to help each other. and me realizing this book had been so many of the person, i feel really blessed and grateful. he that point still at that explains having spoken about it or is it been positive april because of the reaction that you've had when things happen like that, you don't talk about that because you just like a raise them from your memory and sometimes you can be shame about yourself. so is not like i was like, worry about what the, the public will think about it. my, my biggest meeting was when i was in paris and i see my mom and to tell her face to face my abuse up. and when i was 30 years old and now going to see her when you 39
1:39 am
. and you know, i noticed that she was divested she was i but, but reserve you say you're going to release your book. you gonna mention it. and i say yes maam, she say, are you sure you know to scale to and as in mama, i'm not doing my book for myself, i do it to, to help or the children. and she was like, oh go for it. and how do you think that experience kind of holding on to that miss a long, effective e pass, neil professionally did it make a difference? see think but of course you make mere roberts a machine. you don't trust people you don't trust or delete it because he was maya my head teacher. and i actually, i realize every time you know, i was like, oh, why sometime am i grace if, why i'm not the so your eyes because from the street you know, from the street you have to pretend to be a guys day, but you not to, he's just a, a way of surviving. and since i open myself to to margot and i start to realize actually, or it damage me so much. i was someone a trying didn't,
1:40 am
wasn't part of my life. you know, i couldn't believe people even just watching a movie could cry, so i keep all those emotion inside. and you just like even some, some people who are like, well, patrice, you know, oh, you old with the strong like dad. you never show any, any weakness, you know, you never feel like you vanilla below, whatever. but now i'm a different man. you know, i'm a more mature and i, i can control my emotion and i'm happy to cry. and with only that experience, now you're speaking out about it. how does that linked towards the kind of advocacy and outreach where you're doing? so what i'm trying to achieve is i won't change everything myself, but i think i want to make sure like those, those kid, you know, i have the, the strains to say like, okay, then i've but receiver i expose himself in front of median people. i think i should talk to someone, so does there just people to try to, to open up?
1:41 am
do you think that there is something about football that specifically makes it difficult to speak about these things compared to others? for example, are the spaces yeah, our food bullies her la la. like they say you, you can show any vulnerability and i b, i play with gay players and they were coming and talking to me because they know or hope and i was about it. but they will never speak in front of a one because people wheeler reject them. and i have a perfect example when i was playing for wisdom and earn some one from the english federation. come and talk about the subject. you know, we need to accept every one, and you can see in the room some people were like going crazy and mad. if someone is gay of to leave ice, i stood up and i say both silence to every one. can you believe in 2000 or 20 at the time? was still like say we're going to reject you. noise is not fair. you've been
1:42 am
involved in some of the nice kind of contentious debates around race. a one time you called a gangster in french government because he had taken a stand he was supporting one of your fellow players and you went on strike. when you look back at that, how do you feel and do you think that things have changed? now? do you think things are better or worse? no knows nothing change because like i say football is a platform where you can send a message, but the problem is that society like his medication. no, not baby born as a racist person or 7 different. so i'm not surprised, i remember when it was 3 english player and in mr. penalty and they get a lot of abuse and people start pointing old english fine. they are races. i was like all done, you know, is the same every way in football like we froze when we strike for, for, for nikolai nellikka said the li, are they forget your french possible sits at the new you just a single is. so i was like, this is let's, let's stop being hypocrite in the football world. that's the way happen. but to
1:43 am
blame the food boys, things it is not just that is the society is bigger than that, but i think we should do lot more than what we doing. and i say to people, we have to stop pretending and you know, you know, not talking silence is a crime. and we can change things. but like i say, and i like to give that example about the, the super lee. and you could see like, like i have the one was you need and the fine they, they protest or whatever. i see some of my extension made and pundits and he was on t v. like every mealy, 2 people were just talking about it. and i look at it and i was like, what i wish, you know, we got the same energy to fighting, you know, against the races. the truth is, when you know, you don't touch the pocket of people, they won't change things. and number high profile, that man including upon james and daniel lee, i have spoken about that addictive feeling as being in the zone at the top of your
1:44 am
gain and how winning can become this euphoric thing that you're always chasing. is that how you felt in 2014 as the intensity paying witnesses united in a bit to say during that time you felt quite depressed. you are detailed, you, you are your robot and special, you know, when you play under someone like so. alex ferguson, ferguson. teach you, winning is not important. winning is normal. and every year, if i don't win the league, all the chunk of whatever you feel like a failure, i remember some time we were likes going going or whatever. i was even like, don't need to celebrate because is no money's your job, but actually is not. if you ask me, you know, i, i don't leave any regret, but you can't unsure the moment because it's so much pressure. so much focus. and when you play for france of brazilian law, what people expect you to win the tournament? so you know, when you don't have a good tournament, after you have to, you have one month holiday. every day people will talk about it. you have to go
1:45 am
back to your club. you don't have time to to we charge. that's why we should leave the walk up every 4 year. if we care about the mental health of the player because they are human been and we need to stop thinking about business because this is business, this is money. but what about the ment? i have and i know we are toys. you get injury out. we buy a new player and you've been so successful with local, it's giving you the freedom to travel and be in different places. and i wonder if you would have been able to have that kind of growth and experience if you hadn't hateful and what would have happened if he didn't had the canadian type. whether or not you would have made that footboards him alive. the bull allowed me to speak 6, differently english. i wasn't that great at school, but you know, traveling we've the, we've, the team is illusory. that's why i say to every child in the world, when you get the opportunity to travel to meet different people cure to do it. he open your mind a worley, so be. but if you stages where you leave and you don't travel,
1:46 am
you won't understand to what you want, understand different people, different religion. but of course, where i grew up, most of my friend, you know, some of them read some, one of them. i, in jail. it could be, it could be like her by joining for pushes. that's why i always, i feel bless and dreadful. you do have every com energy about you, you know, i can feel like what you're saying to me and that you've been through this process and really kind of put things in their place. is ella that down to the pickle what we will even to say, i don't, i really don't know is just like i'm so passionate about life. and i, i don't like to find his goose when you get sexually abuse. at the age of 13, you grew up with this trauma. when know, you know, you grew up in the street is all about like surviving and her. when you, you born as a black person is a disadvantage in this world. i don't have the answer. i can tell you is because i, i talk with mago because of my book. i don't have the answer. it's just nice to say
1:47 am
anyway, you know, can happen. you cannot burn and is beautiful. because even many people they were like, wow, but was you so nice? you can be a clown, you can be funny, whatever. but when you angry, something different in your eyes is fire something dark. we all of a docs i and i think me was become a lot from my trauma and i realized at when, if you felt my satisfied now i feel content and when you play you never content because you keep chasing, winning, winning, winning, winning, and all your emotion as on the side. now i am living my best life to love that for you. i just want to say thank you so much. you're coming and speaking to me. thank you. but it was no ordinary football tour.
1:48 am
