08/10/2011: Cisse got the Blues

Lazio Striker Djibril Cisse has expressed to L'Equipe his gratitude for the fans in France's game against Albania.

Cisse who came in at the 80th minute, received a standing ovation as all of the fans in the Stade de France welcomed him with applause.

Speaking to L'Equipe, Cisse was more than happy:

"Everything was beautiful, I have had many difficulties with the French FA in the past, and when you see a ray of hope like tonight, it cannot but feel very good. You wonder why the fans welcomed me with such enthusiasm ? I am not sure, but maybe they know how much I love my country, how many times I expressed my wish to represent the country and wear the blue jersey. I think the fans appreciate my love for France."
