“It looks a bit like French. These are two Latin languages. But I learned quickly. I arrived in Madrid, I already spoke a little, and living here every day allowed me to speak fluently, and I'm happy with that. I think it's a mark of respect, when you arrive somewhere, to speak the language of the country. I think that when we are in France, we are very happy that people learn French. They have their language, they have their rules, their customs, we try to adapt. I'm in Spain, I'm adapting to Spanish culture »he explained on the media's microphone Raw. Some will see it as a small attack aimed at Neymar who was criticized for never having learned a word of French during his time at PSG…
