“I have this little regret of not going above and beyond when I feel good like that. I wonder what more I can do. As the coach says, I can’t do anything more. It’s up to me to be consistent, to perform and I really believe that the work will be rewarded. I believe in it as hard as iron», he explains at a press conference on the eve of hosting FC Nantes at the end of the 14th day of Ligue 1 (8:45 p.m.). He sees this World Cup as a goal. “This helps me perform on the field since I know where I want to go. I’m coming from afar because you see, as I do, the decisions that are made. I respect them. I won’t let go. If I have to go there, I will be very happy. If I don’t go, my daughters will be very happy.»
