As he lines up in defence for France’s game against Romania tonight, William Gallas knows he’ll need all his experience and determination to navigate a clear path through the group of death.

But after playing for some of the top teams in France and England, the Arsenal man is a past master at shackling the best strikers in Europe. And he’s far from goal shy himself.

See what Gallas had to say about the joy of big-pressure games, the importance of winning the first ball and why his first instinct as a defender is to counter attack.
