“There are no bad times, only good times. They welcomed me well. It’s easier when there are players from the same club [he refers to the Parisians, editor’s note]. I’m opening up little by little, I’m getting to know them. Everything is going well, I’m very happy.”

“They are very good people. They are always there for me. But the others also spoke to me, welcomed me, advised me. They made me feel at ease, whether it was the staff or the players. I’m very happy that it’s happening like this.”

“It went well. I don’t ask myself any questions. It’s certain that in the French team, the level is high. I play my football. I am doing my best.”

“I sang a 4Keuss song: O’Kartier C’est la Hess.”

“It’s always a pleasure to be with the A’s. I’m very proud, very happy. I’m happy to represent my country. I will give everything for France. As for media coverage, there are many. My family thinks it’s too much.”

“My family is always there for me. They also tell me when things aren’t going well. It keeps my head on my shoulders, even if I think I have it. Afterwards, we didn’t really celebrate my convocation. I was more busy with my homework than with the selection because I had classes. I looked at the list, I was very happy. But then I had to go to class [laughs]. I was a little disappointed not to spend this time with my family.

“I do my classes at the same time. Yesterday, I was doing my Spanish homework. I’m trying to organize myself. Whenever I have time, I do my homework. I try to alternate training in the afternoon with a little class before the session. It helps me keep a balance. If at home I play on the console or if I go outside, I don’t think it’s better for me.

“I got 10 oral and 12 written. Or the opposite [laughs].”

“When we are young, we are unconscious. I don’t ask myself any questions. I play my football. I always give my all. It’s in my personality. […] It’s true that it’s going quickly, but I don’t ask myself any questions. I play, I have fun because it is above all a passion. I give everything on the pitch as I have been used to doing since I was little.

“It’s definitely another record, if I can beat it, I’ll be very happy. It’s the coach who will decide. I’m ready to help the team.”

“We will have to see that with the coach. I am always available to the coach and ready to help the team. I will give everything to achieve the objective we set ourselves to finish in the top five.”

“I try to take inspiration from everyone. We all have a different style. If I take inspiration from everyone, I will have a little bit of everything. It’s certain that there are very good players among the Blues. I’m very happy to train with them. They can give me advice and details that make the difference. Thanks to them.”

“I went to see him the day before yesterday. He was very happy for me. He told me before that the most important thing was not to be there but to stay there. That’s the goal I set for myself.”

“I was able to chat with him because I’m still in class. We made a video together against bullying at school or outside. It is a very good thing. For the French team to speak out on it shows that we are taking sides. Its very important.”

“No, that didn’t worry me. I also take this as an exercise for the baccalaureate. There are people who are there to help me and accompany me in this conference. I’m feeling good.”

“I don’t watch that. It doesn’t drag me down. It does not bother me. I play my football. I don’t watch that.”

“For that, I listen to my body. So if it doesn’t work out, I’ll say so. Now, there are also the coaches who tell me to be careful because I am young and I play a lot and a career is long. Afterwards, frankly, I want to play so I give my all every time. The physiotherapists are there to provide my care. I do cold baths, everything that is recovery.”

“It’s not up to me to choose. The selectors discuss among themselves. And it’s up to them to make a decision. But I will be at their disposal, whatever happens.”

“I’m not going to make a choice. I’ll take three! It is the objective. And we’ll see.”
