Toram said in an interview about a special memory from 2006-2008, when he played in Barcelona: "In Barcelona there was a player - I will not name him - who too often could not train. There were mornings he would come and we immediately realized he was not in good condition. We locked him in the treatment room and he "He was going to sleep on one of the massage beds. The people who came to watch the training did not understand where he was."

The former defender recalled: "A striker I played against? If there is one person to point out, it is definitely Ronaldo. When he touched the ball, all the players on the pitch were on alert. He was able to perform one action that immediately leads to the goal. I must say that despite the difficulty, very "I enjoyed playing against him. When you meet the best in the world, you learn to enjoy the challenge against them."

On Zinedine Zidane, with whom he shared a locker room for many years on the French national team, Toram said: "I first met him when we were 17.5-18. I did not believe anyone my age could handle a ball like that. What I did not like was that there were people who thought Zidane's whole story was "Natural talent. So it's not! Above all, he worked hard, was very strict with himself and had a lot of character."
