« Last year, I had no luck, with physical problems; a foot fracture. This summer, I did not agree with the club which asked me to follow adapted preparation. I would have liked to prepare with the group. I wanted to feel ready but I fell behind and then had problems. I came on against Clermont (0-1), before getting injured. Since then, I've been trying to make up for lost time […] It's not the physical problems that have kept me away from the field lately but also the club's choices. I didn't find the situation fair even though I was physically embarrassed twice. I found, in training, that I deserved to be in the group. Saturday I was given 30 minutes, I took them […] I hope this will get me started. There you go, I'm not dead, I'm alive. »
