“I discover everyone here at the castle. There are heads that I already know, which I have already frequented on the field and in club. I can't wait to meet everyone. Climb the steps of the castle? I have always watched it on video and I have always seen others do it, so do it today, it is a great feeling of pride. I was thinking of all the matches I watched on TV, all the competitions and necessarily the dream of wearing this jersey ”said the old Lensois.
