That's whyexplained Raphaël Gerbeaud to Girondins4Ever. There are no regrets because I learned a lot, and at the time it remained a training center that worked very well. I learned a lot of things. Maybe I ran out of time. (…) I would have liked a little longer adaptation time. When you change regions like that, when you are young, you need to digest all that. I had little time to do it, and those are the details I was talking about. »
