I wish him well, it is possible. But that is of course depending on competition for places. At the moment he is fine, as there is not much competition, so he could do it.

Besides, teams are less attacking now.

Because the group games are like a mini-tournament, teams tend to be very calculating, so it becomes very difficult.

Nowadays, as soon as a striker scores three goals, everyone starts asking him about it.

If he stays clear of injury, in another 20 games or so he will break the record.

I think it’s good for sporting justice that Ronaldo scored twice in the final.

To beat my record, a side would really have to go for it, or a player would need to go on a goal spree in the group matches.

Our team bosses were so convinced we would be knocked out that they only gave us three shirts each, so we were totally free from pressure.

Fifth is great, especially as I was forced to retire when I was 26 – right at the moment when I was due to go and play abroad.

I think I’ll take my record of 13 goals to the grave.

My mind was not on the record – I turned down the chance to take a penalty in the third-place game.

I spent my first twenty years in Morocco, where I coached the national team.

My record of 13 goals in the World Cup finals still stands.

Only two journalists followed the team around.

In those days there was not so much pressure on us.

As soon as he thinks about the record, he’s finished. The secret is to put it out of your mind.
