The center-forward formed at AS Saint-Etienne thanks Frédéric Antonetti, Élie Baup and Laurent Roussey, three of his coaches in the Greens.

Élie Baup “made us a script at the Casa de Papel”
“There are many injured (notably Julien Sablé, editor's note) And players at the African Nations Cup. He calls on young people from the center. He galvanized by putting us in the shoes of a band of robbers! He told us that no one was going to swing the other to the police, that we were united, a family, that we were going to make the break of the century. He had given us a scenario to La Casa de Papel Before the time. ASSE was not in a good situation. We win 1-0. And we take the premium! »»launched Bafé Gomis in The team.
