“I am not irreproachable," he told France Football. "When people say that I lack consistency, it's true. When I have my place, it often goes well, but when I've been used less, it's It is true that my performance has not been the same"

“It's a vicious circle: I'm less efficient, because I play less and therefore I play even less. When it's like that, I can sometimes drop out a bit. A player like [Edinson] Cavani, he's at 3000% even when given few minutes."

Martial has often come in for criticism for his body language on the pitch and he addressed those claims as well. He continued: "Basically, I have to display my disappointment after a missed opportunity so people say: 'Ah, he doesn't really care'. I'll tell you simply: I'm a footballer, not an actor.

“A lot of people think you have to be a comedian and I see players who show their rage so that the public and the media think they are motivated. All the media circus does not interest me. I cannot change to please others."
