“With Paris, he found himself very often in an axial position. He did it with us. In his club, it’s the position he will have. Whether he tends to go more on the left axis than on the right axis, there is no problem with that. He has the ability to play on the left, which can require certain adjustments. It all depends on what the opponent offers in front. He has been in this position for a while. It is planned that he will be there daily too. If he does not have to be in the axis, we see him more on the left than on the right. There are always adjustments to look for complementarity. It is not fixed either. He has freedom, the others too. To be able to switch like we did at the Euro, with Marcus. It depends on who we have on the left. We need to be present in the area when he is not there. He is fast but he does not yet have the ability to cross and take his center. It’s complementarity.”
