This is a capacity that we have, to be able to attach to people and have the ability to go to other adventures. What gives this capacity is the vision that we have in the long term. It’s a bit like when I was little. I left my parents early. But what allowed me to do it at the age of 12 was the vision I had. This is what allowed me, despite my attachment to Basket Landes and the attachment that I always have, to be able to leave this club, it is the vision that I have in relation to that.
