A biography for Marco Verrattihasn’t been written yet.
“When great teams look at you it's always a source of pride. It means you're doing well and you're on the right track.”
“Sometimes with Emery, things were quite difficult.”
“I want to play differently because I think I have got something, something different, and if one day I let a goal happen that should not have happened then, well, I will take the responsibility for that but I will also continue to play that way.”
“A great future stems from a great present, so I must take things one game at a time.”
“Neymar could have earned just as much from Manchester City or Chelsea.”
“Anyone who comes to Paris Saint-Germain knows there will be a lot of pressure, and that comes with having big targets.”
“It's nice when big teams are interested in you but my priority was always to stay at PSG.”
“That's the thing about football, it all happens quickly.”
“Ancelotti spoke to everyone as a person, not just in a coach-to-player way. That doesn't happen often in football.”
“The Premier League is fascinating and I follow it closely.”
“Back when I played for Pescara I was sought after by a lot of clubs, but if I had ended up at Juventus I doubt they would have given me the same space that I have with PSG.”
“When I was little, I loved Alessandro Del Piero, who made history with Juventus and the national team. And growing up, once I took to the pitch, I looked closely at what Andrea Pirlo was doing.”
“On the pitch, I will always be at 100 per cent.”
“I think Italy-England is always a huge match.”
“I'd rather not play football at all than have to change my style.”
“I'm fine in Paris. I am well set and I intend to stay there as long as possible.”
“If you don't win, you will end up getting criticised, it goes for everyone, it is absolutely normal in football.”
“People think I only play at PSG for the money, but I could get paid well elsewhere too.”
“I think Mancini did a huge job. He did very well wherever he coached. He has been criticised, sure, but again, that's part of the picture.”
“That a team like Barcelona thinks of you is a source of pride and forces you to work harder.”
