“Bad timing”
“My absences from the last meetings are above all a question of bad timing. I incurred a few injuries, not very serious, less serious than in Dortmund when I was absent for three months, but they occurred at the bad times, before the Euro, with this tear in my hamstrings, before the October rally, because of a tendon, and before that of November, when I suffered from the adductors Now, it is clear that my package for. the Euro was difficult to digest. At the end of my good half-season in Trabzon, I had the feeling that I could bring something to this team.”
With Lille, Thomas Meunier will have to retrain for a new position: “It’s a very good position for me”
“It would be selfish to think that”
“If my frustration rates l'Euro was mitigated by the early elimination of the Devils? No, it would be selfish to think that. Whether it's good or bad, you always hate missing a Euro because it only happens two or three in a career.”
“The right to a few minutes”
“My goal now with the Devils? I just want to play. I think, with complete objectivity, that I have the right to a few minutes. During my last visits, it happened two or three times that I didn't not play for a single second It was quite hard to take, but as I said, it's the collective that comes first. My desire to represent my country remains intact. The atmosphere is perhaps less rosy at the moment. , but it is linked to the results and this This is not going to dampen my motivation.”
Malick Fofana, the ambitious: “I want to play the World Cup with the Red Devils”
“I believe in these Devils”
“The results may not be following for the moment, but I believe in these Devils. There are a lot of qualities, especially in the 17-22 age group, boys like Fofana or Duranville. We will say that the bricks are there, but the cement is still missing. More concretely, it is personality that we still need. When Fellaini, Hazard and Kompany made their debut with the Devils, they already had a strong personality at the club. You should not put on the national team jersey with too neutral a state of mind, you must also be aware of the importance that it can have on a player's career. Me, if I hadn't had a good Euro 2016, I don't think I would have joined PSG.”
“But who instead?”
“Tedesco? He impressed me when he arrived with us. This victory in Germany was fantastic. I said to myself that he had something. It crumbled a little afterwards, there was had some injuries, a little strange communication at times, but for me he has the skills Now, I don't know if. his fate is settled. And if this is the case, who will we put in place? It’s not easy to make a choice while being convinced that it’s the right one.”
