We don't know anything about it. »» For him, “the draw” should rather play it discreet and do things in order.

It's been two years since he has played. And two years before his suspension, he chained the injuries so we will say that it's been four years that he did not find his real level. I find that the packaging of this comeback and all that is done around is ridiculous. »»
“This is underestimating the pace of football, competition, other players who are in Monacocontinues the 1998 world champion. I am not saying that he will not get there, I wish him to get there.
