- New York Cosmos: We have a soft spot for your goal against Sunderland. That chip. Why did you celebrate that goal that way?
- Eric Cantona: Why? Just because I felt like it. I never thought before a game, “If I score a goal, I will react like this.”
- NYC: Did you approach the game as an artist?
- Cantona: Art is all about creating. It's all about work, skill and salvation. As footballers, we did the same. You have to work, but you have to be skilled enough to do what you really want to do. The world expects and people need you to create. Football is the same. It's a kind of expression. It’s an art.
